Now NFL changes from "injure" to "unable to play"

Also, the dueling soundbites from the league and Brees further illustrate that, ultimately, the bounty case has become an exercise in semantics. No players were paid to injure other players. Instead, the Saints created a system for financially rewarding players who in the normal course of delivering big, clean, legal hits rendered an opponent unable to play in all or part of the remainder of the game. Though that’s one of the realities of a game in which success is premised partially on attrition, the league believes that creating that kind of incentive could lead to deliberate attempts to injure, whether through legal hits or through illegal hits.

League reiterates belief that bounty evidence is

Oh I know it won't because I can already see that before, during and after every game one of the talking idiots will bring up the offseason and the "bounty" and the "wiretapping" and "suspensions" and "Drew's contract" and whatever else Goddell and his SS troops find on the Saints it looks like I might have to watch the games with the sound off this season since I don't get WWL where I live.

I haven't turned on ESPN or NFL networks since this started to spiral. I'm thinking of canceling NFL network.

ESPN comes with the advanced package (also comes with basic) and I do like to watch college football on there, but honestly this all cured me of my addiction to watching the ESPN scroll-er and listening to their BS news.

I've cured most of it by tuning out... also made me more productive business-wise LOL.

I already dropped their asses. I will watch grainy chopped up internet feed for free on firstrow sports. Before the nfl gets any of my money. ( I dont care if direct tv pays them or not) They still are making money.

An exercise in semantics......I couldn't have said it better.

Lets just take it all the way to "emotionally scarred", and have a "picking on me" penalty,fine, and suspension.

Just keep moving the goalposts around on this bounty thing of yours, Goodell, keep wiggling and waffling, it makes you look really fair and impartial!
