Bounty Hits

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

Idk if all of you have heard by now, but the Saints were caught using the "Bounty" program for the last 3yrs and are about to fear the wrath of Goodell and the NFL. I personally think it was such a stupid move by the players especially when the players were the ones who are dealing all the lawsuits. I get that is is part of the NFL and will continue to be regardless of what happens to the Saints, but imo there is a difference between being very physical and trying to fuck someone up.

I think its unsportsmanlike to intentionally try to injure someone. Its just bad vibes. Would really suck if someone wanted to make an extra $10,000 (which is all the rewards were: in the tens of thousands) and hit you in the knees and blew out your ACL, or any other career ending injury. Its wrong. But you can't unfairly punish the Saints. Everyone does it.

That said, the NFL has gotten really soft. Too many rules to "protect layers safety". Its meant to be one of the most physical sports. Gotta let the boys play

Takes a little respect away from that Super bowl team huh?
