Who would want to win 5k if it meant you have to pay a $25k fine from the league? Greg Williams is banned for life and his son gets blacklisted. YIKES!!!

I sort of leaning this way as well. I think this investigation uncovered more than they are willing to admit to.

Even every player I have seen on panels discussing this seem ignorant to the rule.

Panel after panel I have seen is that they all EVERYONE of them admitted to having a pool for play "incentive program" on the field which by rule even if its an INT or beheading someone its wrong and illegal according to the rule. So everyone in the NFL is guilty of breaking the rule. They skirt around the rule by saying "we players ran it in house within the players, ourselves". The only part that makes WIlliams part is that he was a coach running it not players and called for players being injured which I think morally is wrong.

Call it what it is... its an "incentive program". Notice most if not all the articles even the initial reporting from the NFL words it "BOUNTY". Which is negative but it really should be worded "incentive program"... which is still wrong.

So they are avoiding the bigger issue is the rule... and EVERYONE is in violation of it. So to start enforcing the rule is go after one team who really was in violation and then make everyone aware of the rule going forward but now I think its taking a life of its own now.
