Its professional football. i always wanted to knock the shit outta people when i played. if everything was done inbetween the whistles i dont know what all the fuss is about? i guess because they wanted it out of the league after buddy ryan here in philly? they are professionals and get paid to play, i look at it as performance bonuses. in this world of 24 hours news and sports channels i guess they need something to take up all that time.
And of course they shouldn't be allowed to have non-contract bonuses. Teams could sign all pro-bowl players and still have cap space if non-contract bonuses were allowed.
