In this post you argued that the intent to knock the snot out of every player is there, which is true.

BUT

These idiots got paid extra beyond their contracts to knock the snot out. Shanle also admitted in your previous post, the article, that they got paid for legal hits that lead to INJURIES AND CART-OFFS.

As Herm Edwards would say "HELLOOOOO." That's a bounty or pay to injure program. The intent tp injure doesn't matter. When they made a legal hit and it injured someone or caused them to get carted off, then they got paid extra for it.

Is that hard to see? I swear he does it everytime. He disappears when he doesn't have a comeback and then appears again when he feels he has a leg to stand on.

P.S. This is your cue to disappear again

P.S.S Dammit I am on my phone again. Phocis or somebody may I please have my 'rolleyes' smiley face again

No. That isn't the "bounty" or "pay to injure" program the Saints were accused of undergoing. According to the claims, and your local expert Beef, they targeted players with the explicit goal of injuring them for money.

That is what the league and the media first claimed was the crime.

The term "bounty" in the public realm envisions wanted posters from the old West with the face of a prey offered up for a given reward, "Dead Or Alive".

This is the context that was presented by Goodell, the league, and subsequently the media of the whole affair. Can y'all not understand that we know there was a system of sorts going on, but it was no where near what was being presented by Goodell and the league.

You are all falling right into their hands on this. At first the public impression was that in every single game the Saints targeted players to injure. Beef himself declared that was his belief.

It is becoming more and more apparent that it was not quite the "bounty poster" interpretation first presented, but something much, much more subdued.

Now the media, and y'all, are justifying "hard hits" and such as "bounties".

Tell me.

Whose story has changed since this all started? Yes, mine has. I have realized they did have the pay for performance going on.

But, step back a few months and tell me that what is now being presented is nearly as egregious as what you all were at first understanding.

Please. Individually, post in this thread that what is the current state of affairs is as bad as you felt at your peak of negative belief.
