It's funny, you're arguing something that the NFL deemed illegal and Dunta was and has been fined numerous times for... But keep quoting Chris Collinsworth and calling others ignorant

But you want us to believe that if the league accused your players of trying to injure players when there was no proof or even injuries, you'd just calmly accept that.

Yeah, I believe that.
Twist myself into a knot?

1. Defenseless receiver rules are ridiculous. It simply isn't something a defender can adjust to, and it isn't something a coach can prepare for outside of telling his guys not to hit players when they catch the ball. Any coach who says he tells his guys not to hit receivers coming down with a ball or going for a catch should be fired on the spot.

2. Against Jackson, the initial contact was with his shoulder, there wasn't helmet to helmet contact, and he didn't launch himself while making the tackle. Jackson had both feet on the ground with the ball when the hit was made. The penalty was for hitting a defenseless receiver, nothing else. You want my opinion on that, please see #1.

3. Against Maclin, initial contact was made by Dunta with his helmet when Maclin turned and was clipped on the chin, otherwise it would have been initial contact with his shoulder. Is it dumb for Robinson to put his head down when he does this? Yes. However, he's done this numerous times against other ball carriers and it's always a shoulder tackle.

Show me Dunta launching, or the NFL saying that he launched. I'll wait.

Did you not watch the video or read the article? You're more ignorant than I first thought!

You're saying those hits were legal and you think HE looks ignorant?

That's funny.

Yeah, that's the twisting I was talking about.

I am not denying, twisting, distorting anything, but you keep going on with the pay-to-injure comments, and the "if there's money involved, then there's intent to injure" thing, which is not correct. As I stated posts ago, whether there is a token reward or not, football players are going to hit other football players as hard as they can, and this will result in injuries, whether there is an intent to injure or not; that is the nature of the game. There is no hitting harder because you can get a token reward afterwards. A legal hit is not made an illegal hit because you can get a token reward afterwards.

On the other hand, when a player keeps on delivering vicious illegal hits which are flagged on the spot then heavily fined, with the HC stating that's what he teaches, one can easily argue actual intent to injure is present.

As for the money pools, they have been around football since forever. Known fact, corroborated by a large number of high-profile ex-players (current players are not going to open their mouths, obviously), just about all teams in the NFL have one/had one. Yes, they are against the rules, and no one around here is denying the money pool existed, or would have any issue with it being punished, had they been punished for what they are, money pools, and not some nefarious hitman contract fund like Goodell made it out to be.
The "token reward," or whatever you want to call it, IS ILLEGAL. If you are paying for people to cause injuries, then that establishes intent. If I put money up for someone to kill someone, and that person ends up dead, guess what? Now I know you're not going to tell me that between late 09 and when this broke that no one was ever injured during a Saints game huh? Sitting around and going, "well everyone else does it" doesn't change that it's illegal. If other teams get caught, then they'll be punished too.

Not once did Dunta leave both his feet while making either tackle. Do you want me to draw you a picture?

NFL deemed the hits Dunta was fined for "illegal" Who cares if they were "launching"...

And 2 players were knocked out of the game against the Saints; Favre who already had a hurt ankle prior to the game and came back a series later...

And Kurt Warner, who tried to tackle a defender who intercepted the ball and McCray blocked him...

That's the only 2 from the playoffs in '09 to this year, what's your point?
