As for your definition of bounty, you are correct. Getting paid for a fumble recovery and an interception or a sack would ALSO be being PAID EXTRA and would be a bounty. But, that is NOT the context that Goodell used when he accused the players. His meaning of a bounty was a specific amount placed upon a specific player in a specific game with intent to injure as the basis for payment. That, sir, is a far different shade of bounty.

As for the story, no, Yahoo did not leak the story. Yahoo published the story. It was leaked to Yahoo and if you don't think it was the NFL office that leaked it then you may be the naive one.

I think your reading comprehension is off. We have gone thru this before though so I am not surprised. I will make this simple.

What is a cart-off? A Player whi has been injured is either walked off or "carted-off" the field

Did the ledger show $1000 being paid for cart-offs? YES

If both of our answers are the same to these 2 questions, then there goes your bounty for pay for injure.

Plain and simple.

Now if somehow your answers to any of these questions are different than mine, then please give me your answer and explain. Thanks!

And obviously I understand that the story was leaked by an anonymous source and Yahoo wrote the article. Who that source is? I couldn't tell you. It's easy to assume that someone in the NFL is the source and it probably is, but that doesn't mean Goodell ordered that peson to do that and it doesn't mean that the person is actually from the NFL.

They did say that at one point the owners were shown this ledger at the meeting so it could have been one of them. I may have read that part wrong in passing though so I apologize if I am incorrect.

But please do not ignore the top part of this post
