Did anybody get killed or crippled from any of these hits? If so, then yeah, punish the Saints severely. But.....c'mon.....using money to create incintive, hell, we are all guilty of that.....pot calling the kettle black....

I would like to see any one of you, try to keep your sanity and emotions in check while playing the most exciting , and controlled violent game of your life, and NOT knock the sssshhhhittt out of someone; especially being in the best physical shape and strength capacity of your life. I was taught; if you want to play football, you better be ready and willing to hit somebody; and I was 12 years old. Something along the lines of .....hit him so hard he remembers you. OR hit him so hard, he won't come your way again.

We might as well punish little league football as well.

And why are you so concerned about what fans of other teams are saying about the Saints?

I couldn't care less what people think/say about the Saints, they can bring this issue up again as an excuse after the Saints win the SB next season - I hope it brings them some solace.

You're kidding me, right? IF Jeremy Lin didn't have 5 good games this season, ESPN would still be talking about Tim Tebow. Absolutely nothing interesting has happened, hence the continued "where will Manning go" speculation roller coaster...

I'm putting a bounty out on this witch hunt of a story. Heck why don't we reinvestigate Payton for stealing Vicodin and selling it to Brett Favre.:rolleyes:

No I'm not kidding you. I stand by my point.

And that proves my point. :p

:popcorn:

Well, I'll tell ya, I just found out a out this "bounty" situation last night. Between work, kids, and being a very slow offseason, I haven't been keeping up with the latest news. So when I found out about this, I immediately came here and started reading. I just watched Total Access this morning. Guys, this is bad, really really bad. Greg Williams is appologizing for this thing. We're going to lose draft pics, we're going to be fined. We are going to be made the poster child of "cheating" in the NFL. This will be a LOT worse than spygate. We know that the Falcons are dirty players. We are now dirtier than them. We, as far as the rest of the league and the rest of the fans, are now no longer as class team. We are now a bunch of low down, scum of the league, DIRTY players. And I tell you what...I'm pissed off. I'm really pissed off!!!!! I'm ready to go kick Greg Williams in the head. We have a very big hill to climb to get out of this frikkin canyon that Williams has put us in. I'm so frikkin mad right now, that I think I'm starting to ramble. I know some of you guys are going to flame me for some of this, and that's ok, but this will be talked about all season, everytime we make a big hit. I just know that we have a very big dirty hill to climb now.

Goosfraba!

The problem is perception, not reality.

Bounties do not change the way a defensive player plays. It doesn't mean we were a dirty team.

Was Al Davis demonized for saying the QB must go down, and must go down hard?

No, but I remember a time when the Raiders were the dirtiest and most hated team in tha NFL.
