EastCoastNiner Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Let's see what Goodell will do. He probably won't take a 1st rounder from them or fine them $500,000+.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Lol like they're the only team that does this. Probably true, but I am assuming that the Saints case goes above and beyond, if the NFL launched such an in depth investigation here.

How is it not a big deal. They were paying their players to injure other players. Do you not comprehend that? That is illegal on multiple levels, and they are going to get slammed HARD! They should give Donte Whitner a nice paycheck to for his hit against the Saints during the playoffs........ Also, they may be the worst bounty hunters around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynn7VGY2Asc Also, it's been reported that this happened when Williams was with the Redskins as well. It's going to be hilarious if the Redskins lose a 1st round pick this year and their shot at RG III.

ChosenOne Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Saints are going to get destroyed for this. I am expecting to see a loss of this years first and possibly next years second or third, on top of seriously heavy ass fines. This is completely wrong and disgusting to hear about, yes players go out to hit each other but when you are going to get paid for particularly hitting certain players it crosses the line big time.

EastCoastNiner Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Apparently it is believed by some that Manning suffered his major neck problem in a game during 2006 against the Redskins when Greg Williams was there.................. That hit was also fined, and from what I've read, the Redskins refused to give Greg Williams the head coaching job because they knew of his bounties. Anything less than a forfeiture of two 1st round picks and a $1,000,000 fine is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Roman Harper must be a rich dude. Funny to look back and see that the career ending hit on Kurt Warner in the playoffs could have been a bounty shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 This is absolutely terrible. The saints should be hit with the book on this one. It's one thing to be getting paid for INT's and forced fumbles, but being paid for injuring players? Was Matt Forte not hurt against the saints last year? this is a [expletive]ing discrase. How the hell would they like it if the Giants came out with JPP, osi, tuck and kiwanuka and whoever put drew brees out of the game was given a bounty. they would probably be pretty pissed off. This is an absolute discrase to the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to exist whether people know or not and from I've read and heard it's very common in the NFL which isn't surprising. I think the Saints are going to be hammered for being the team to get caught, to make an example and set a precedent but still it's still going to happen.

EastCoastNiner Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Okay, that was wayyy overboard. He deserved the suspension. It was worse than I thought it was going to be. Some of it I didn't mind, but when you say that you want to keep hitting his head after the play and trying to take out someones ACL, that's overboard. I don't think he'll coach for a LONG time, if ever again. I think their punishment was WAY too light now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has absolutely no respect for the players on the apposing team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliCurbStomppa Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Now hold on guys.. I don't think he really mean it I think he trying get inside their head so they can win this game for him. He just wants to have his guys play hard for him. I mean words coming out of your mouth doesn't mean you really mean it. Edited April 5, 2012 by CaliCurbStomppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
