Saints running back Darren Sproles says Buccaneers safety Dashon Goldson was clearly intending to injure him when he delivered a helmet-to-helmet blow in Sunday’s game.

“He tried to hurt me on the play, but he didn’t,” Sproles said.

Sproles said that when he watched replays of the hit, he could see that Goldson was aiming to drill him in the head. Sproles added that Goldson has a history of delivering “dirty” hits.

Goldson got a 15-yard penalty for the hit on Sproles and was initially suspended for a game, although on appeal his punishment was reduced from a one-game suspension to a $100,000 fine. That’s a hefty fine and it comes on the heels of a $30,000 fine Goldson incurred in Week One, but at some point, if fines and 15-yard penalties aren’t stopping Goldson’s dirty play, a suspension is going to have to be the next step.

Stop talking about this. All this does is give more bulletin board material.

I am sure somebody (a reporter) asked Sproles the question. It's not like he went running to the newspaper and begged to talk to them or whatever.

All this means is that the ignorant trolls at PFT get another chance to bring up the bounty junk,. so what, they will believe those lies until the end of time if that's what they want. no amount of facts and reason is going to change that.

Sounds like about 10 million other subjects in sports, business, politics and life in general.

But I agree 100% with you JV, reporter desperation for acknowledgement and our desire for 24-7 information feeds that beast.

We're getting exactly what we asked for, so to speak.

OK, off my media soapbox....

rezburna

That's what he's supposed to do Sproles. Truck that fool next time.

Like we didn't expect retribution... Get off your soap-boxes folks. We encouraged that **** too. Do we need to dig up Gregg Williams's pre-game quotes? That's sports folks.

Zip it playa. A Greg Williams pre-game speech is exactly that.. a speech. Nothing more, nothing less... And no different than any other defensive coordinators pre-game speech. if you believe differently, you've never been in a pregame locker room.



Rez... Get tour head out of the clouds... Sproles is a Porsche, not my Hummer. He isn't trucking anyone.

rezburna
