NFL: Saints Bounty Thread

[AsylumGuido]

Here was part of the "leaker's" screw-up.

In the ledger, payments of $1,000 for cart-offs (a hit that resulted in a player being helped off the field), $400 for whacks (hard hits) and $100 deductions for mental errors were kept track of for each player.

Two specific entries for the 2009 season were shown during one meeting. In a game at Buffalo on Sept. 27, 2009, there were three $1,000 awards. In a game against the New York Giants on Oct. 18, there was a $1,000 bounty awarded for one cart-off. [Ed note: In that Giants game, tackle Kareem McKenzie was taken off on a cart with a strained groin, which hardly seems like it should qualify.]

Their were four players in the Buffalo game referenced that were "carted off". Three of them were defensive players. How could a defensive player be rewarded for the "cart off" of another defensive player?

And the single supposed "cart off" award in the Giants games was for a strained groin?

Sounds like more of Goodell's grasping for straws to cover his ass in the concussion litigations to me. If this is all he has then he is up shit creek.
