Saints defender after Favre injury:"Pay me my money!"
 
During the 2009 NFC title game, which both sparked the league’s investigation and served as the most obvious example of assault and battery of an opposing quarterback, King writes that, after an unflagged high-low hit on Brett Favre resulted in a sprained ankle, an unnamed Saints defender was heard saying on an on-field microphone, “Pay me my money!”

(Ubiquitous eye rolling emoticon) This is so absurd! Ok not really, it is what it is guys. This kind of stuff isn't going to fly in today's NFL culture. Like it or not, it's not the 70's, 80's, or 90's anymore and we did wrong according to the current status quo.

I know. Today is flag football. Prove Intent by the way. You hit a player legally and it rings teh guys bell. It is an effect of the hit. Note intent but a product of their hit. They will get punishedfor having a Bounty system but can't prove a hit with intent.

Powder puff ball at it's finest! Perhaps we can change our uniforms to pink and black!

Hear say is inadmissable.

If I went back and edited together all of the sound clips of a defensive player saying "Pay me!" or "Pay the man!" after a big hit, it would probably be 3 and a half days long.

oh god, this is all a bad dream right. HOW much more do we as fans have to take.

No, No it's on my video the part about Hargrove saying, Farve is done. But again, natrual reaction, just like when farve came back, bet they don't have that audio.

I don't understand the hypocrisy. Correct me if I'm wrong...but,

Don't players get paid a pretty nice bounty just to play the game by ownership? What is wrong with players taking their own money and having a little fun with it? Would there be an uproar if they took their money down to Harrah's and gambled?

I don't understand them trying to make a game look safe or make it appear that it can be safe if played the proper way.

Would it be wrong to say, "I will pay a guy extra money if he knocks a guy out of the game with a legal hit." Isn't that what they're suppose to be doing? It's almost like they are saying that they will pay extra money to do what you should be doing without the incentive.

I remember one defensive player letting up on V Young when he was in his grasp...and then Young broke loose and made a critical 1st down that allowed him to finish a drive and win the game. When I think back, there is no doubt that the player let-up to keep from being penalized. Is this what we want our game that we love so much to evolve into? Not me. I say...let them hit...let them have bounties if they want them...just make sure it is all legal.

I once heard that if you go any less than full speed out there you are going to get hurt yourself.

It just sounds like a boat-load of hypocrisy to me.

Listening to Peter King on NFL Network as I leave for work...if Peter King wants to write the story, then get it straight. Get the facts. He already wrote his piece for SI, but he doesn't ahve the facts.
I do not agree with Peter King.
