They earned it!
WOW!!! That is a tough sentence. I never figured he get a whole year off. I guess they mean business..Maybe we can get some skirts for the boys to wear. :o
They have an appeal so they will drag it out til folks forget about it
Well deserved.....
I was shocked. They better hurry up and sign Brees. Can't believe the punishment was so harsh. I guess they will start putting flags on the qb's before long.
WOW....plant corn get corn...who else is to blame and I don't believe for a second that old statement "everybody does it"... the other thing worse I heard today "Tebow to New York"...the prayer man in real sin city...he and the coach will be going on a language retreat somewhere...this should be an interesting year to say the least.
Jets or Giants?

Its good to hear there are good coaches out there :icon_thumright:
but for every 3 of you I bet theres 1 of the other ones
Is there that much of a difference if you get paid a bounty or knock the guys head off for free? It's pro football, not a pee wee league. These guys hit and get hit for a living. If it is flagrant, it is the job of the ref's to disipline. They all get extra pay for tackles on special teams. All of them..
Goodell wants to fine everyone who still make a good football play on defense, this is what happens coaches reimburse the players for continue to tackle
Goodell needs to go!! he'll ruin football and turn it into an unwatchable game of arena football or two hand touch the way this is going

Kinda what I was thinking, it's still football and it's a violent sport.
Everything I read said that the penalty was worse because everyone lied to the investigators, if they would have manned up and said I did it the fine would have been less.
Either way, the penalty is severe. It will cost Payton a couple of million, I would guess.
This is a tough sport played by tough people. The harder you can hit on defense, is directly proportional to how much you money you make. Every team in the league is looking for the Nitschke or Butkus type linebacker. All of them, and they pay big bucks when they find them. If it"s flagrant, you throw out the offender for whatever is deemed an appropriate amount of time, and you fine him. They need to leave this call on the field.
I played SEC football till I got hurt, but had several good friends go play pro. I can promise you that this is NOT an isolated case. we did it in high school and college and for damn sure they do it in the pros league wide. so teams do it differently than others. in high scholl and college it wasnt a monitary thing but there were "bonuses" and other incentives for certain "tackles" In the Pors its just that PROS!! they get paid to play the game. and they get paid a rediculas amount of money at that!! In every for of employment there are performance incentives and bonuses to make employees strive to work harder. there are commisions for salesmen who target certain clients. at the end of the day its all the same, and its still football!! grow a set and put on your big boy drawers and play the damn game!!
I agree wholeheartedly!! I just read today that Payton will lose 8 million in salary. An 8 million dollar fine.. WOW!!!
