No, it's the players greed for money. They make hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars but need an extra $100 to do what they already get paid for. There isn't a love for the game anymore, it's the love for money which I understand but come on don't you want to win or are you only in the game for the money?

Exactly, it's like us poor guys betting a quarter a hole playing golf. This is nothing money to them. |

If you were working for nothing but your salary but had the opportunity to make a bonus if you could wouldn't you try? If an Interception fell into your lap and you got 500 bucks and braggin rights would you not do it? I'm not for intentionally targeting someone in a dirty way but if a clean hit resulted in a player carted off the field and it's part of the game...i'd collect. Games are played over a boot and braggin rights. Is it inconcievable that cash wouldn't ever be involved? |

The Bounty program is how they deal with it. ![]()
Believe it or not, these small incentive payments, awarded at meetings where primarily the defensive players are viewing tape from the previous game, are referred to as "stripper money" because they are viewed as being small and insignificant, like a stack of one-dollar bills you'd take into a strip club. |
