here is my 2 cents and what I know.

If you are a kid on the defensive side of the ball. You are told to (in so many words) inflict as much pain on the person with the ball as you can. If you were never told that by your coach, and you played the game as a "Gentleman"; then kudos to you and your coach.

If bone crushing hits were not widely accepted throughout the NFL and the public. Then why do those bone crushing hits get played over, and over and over again in sports highlights?

I could care less what these guys did in College or High School as far as the incentive performance stuff goes. I think a lot of people aretaking this way too extreme. Fans want to see those hits. Do they want to see players careers end on a hit? Of course not. Fans want the game played on a razors edge of danger. Our team is being made the example, right now. Vilma and Smith are the Co Captains, so there is responsibility and reprocustions for them. I don't like it but it is just something that goes along with it, I guess. I do feel like Goddell is doing this all for show and is trying to make a name for himself in the history books of the NFL.

Most people here are quick to jump and defend Drew and his contract status but some here, seem to be foaming at the mouth to throw the Bounty guys under the bus. I just don't get it.
