The cover up is usually worse than the crime. What do a lot of parents tell the children? You tell me what you did..you get punished...You lie about it and I catch it it will be X times worse.
Saints organization lied about it. The NFL faces lawsuits from former players about concussions. The Commish could not be seen as soft on this crime. He cracked some heads.
Is it hypocritical...yes...do most teams do this...probably. Joe Pa got fired because he knew and didnt go to the police. Syracuse coach could not be proven he knew...he got off.
The lie is often worse than the crime when it comes down to handing down punishmentsComment -
im not buying it..these are grown men playing a full contact sport, he's the commish yea but its garbage..its important to note nothing happened..a big fine would have been enough.Comment -
Does someone actually have the youtube video on the favre hit? That would be something else!!!Comment -
watching an nfl game is such a joke to begin with..its basically one long commercial with a game sprinkled in...plus they have all these rules about hitting a defenseless player, no one is cashing in any bounty..no one is dumb enough to do a reckless bounty hit outside of the game rules, since every hard hitting play is ultra scrutinized by the league and the million cameras and the bitch ass media..smell the coffee you douchebag goodell..its simply not that serious.Comment -
lot of big hits on favre this game. big hits around 3:33 and 5:25 mark. not sure if dirty, but looks like they're deliberately trying to hit him.

so you're saying an illegal hit, which would be most likely flagged and fined, and sensationalized into the event of the decade by the media, would not be a deterrent by the rules in place, but the millionaire moron players of the saints instead would take it to the next level, just to pick up a 50 k pot in a clubhouse bounty....makes sense.

no, i don't really know what happened. just looking into it a little really, just curious. i will never know.Comment -
actually face i was responding to the guy before you, bigeric828...all im saying is its football..and until someone actually does something dirty you cant throw the book at em..nothing happened and probably nothing was going to happen..in fact once this story hit the media it guaranteed nothing was gonna happen..so if you want to hurt em with a big fine, ok i can see that..but trying to be an omnipotent douchebag emperor commish is bullshit..its like when the refs argue with the players and t em up and eject em..dude no one came to the game to see you call techs, get over yourself.Comment -
I'm sorry but you are looking at it from a saints fan I remember that NFC champ game think man they are getting away with a lot of late hits. From what I understand they were told stop 3 or 4 times my god what would you do if you had to tell ur kids 4 times you would beat that azz.Comment -
Saints fan here and i think its ridiculous, he is paying a penalty for everyone it seems. I dont think players should be suspended too. Enough is enough. I am hoping for an appeal and 8 games.Comment -
You don't have a bounty incentive program whether it's a joke or not, whether it worked or not. That entire thought up idea is for scumbags. It's the NFL, go out and fukking play the game and collect your millions. Complete and utter childish bullshit. Piece of shit.Comment -
This punishment was WAY overboard. Ridiculous goodell is judge and jury.Comment -
The saints were warned, kept doing it anyway and then they lied, punishment justified.Comment
