That's the freaking game of football. As for lack of injuries not disproving anything, how can you pay money for injuring someone, if no one gets injured? But, it is my fault. I keep on typing and typing, and all I get back is "We know the organization and players wanted to injure players, otherwise people wouldn't be offering money to do it". I should have known better. You just keep on posting pictures of Dunta Robinson's illegal hits and keep telling us how they aren't illegal. |

Never said that Dunta's hits weren't illegal, but it is a fact that he did not launch. Outside of clipping Maclin's chin, both hits were illegal because he was called for hitting a defenseless receiver, which I've already explained that I think it's a BS rule that can't be effectively coached. |

Re: NFL re-issues bounty discipline**UPDATED**
Where have you seen any evidence where the Saints were being paid for cart-offs?
Seems to me you take what ESPN says as the gospel... ![]() |

Once again, open your totally closed mind and realize that they were not putting up money for injuries. They were putting up money as a part of the overall pay for performance plan, that reward for large hits that could cause a player to miss a play or even the rest of the game. It specifically stated that it had to be a legal hit (upon review from the league) and not result in a penalty by that player or any other on the same play. It also was dependent upon them winning the game. |

Answer me this ... was Sean Witherspoon getting paid when he delivered the following hit on Washington QB Robert Griffin III last week? ![]() I believe he is getting paid millions of dollars to make those type of legal hits, which in some cases such as this results in a "cart-off". Do you think Coach Nolan chastised him for making that play in the defensive film study this week? Were his fellow players disgusted by the play? Chances are he was even rewarded in some way, be it a verbal "damn good hit" or maybe even an extra cookie. Either way it was surely celebrated in some form or fashion. This is no different than what the Saints players were doing. They had an office pool that paid out small tokens for good legal plays. That's it. That's all. |
