Well said, I certainly understand your point about singling our guys out. I am addressing more the folks who seem to think that the NFL somehow benefits or gains pleasure from doing this; like some evil plot to destroy the Saints. I think they saw something in the bounties that was a threat to their business (ie money) because of the average fans' perception of such allegations and also because of the lawsuits coming down the pike. They reacted defensively and strongly, too strongly IMO, but the penalties reek of the League fearing for what would happen if the public perceived their response as not taking it seriously.
