I still can’t understand all the Eli haters, Eli is the opitamy of a class act, his accomplishments speak for themselves. I guess you have to get arrested in the NFL to get looked up to.

How are bounties different from college/high school teams handing out helmet awards for big hits?

Uh Oh, little Eli spoke. I guess Roger might make a big deal out of this because it has the attention of a NY Team (probably because they didn’t think of it first).

For what it’s worth, G. Williams should be banned for life and Payton should be suspended for 1 year.

When I was in the army on my way to serving in Vietnam, there was training about what was legal and illegal. If the officer said the very common expression, “Take no prisoners,” we were supposed to ask him if he meant to say that we should shoot enemies that surrender. To force the officer to clarify that he was ordering us to do something illegal, because “following orders” is not an acceptable defense.

So “punch them in the mouth” does not really mean to punch the opponent in the mouth and take out the opposing QB does not mean to actual injure him. If players are told to take out an opposing QB, they should question their coach as to what that really means. Each player should remain accountable for their own actions during a game.

Great comments Eli. Any player who needs motivation to intentionally cause bodily harm is sick in the head, just like Williams. I hope R Goodell throws the book at EVERYONE involved. They deserve severe punishment. In the real world ASSAULT is a criminal offense punishable with jail time. These players and coaches/management should thank their lucky stars for suspensions and fines.

Ifyouthinkgarbage said “Bounties in my opinion is just a tactic. It’s motivational to some players. Maybe they don’t need a thousand bucks here or ten grand”

Are you on welfare? You have no idea about inspiration. If you think these guys must need a few extra bucks to get motivated, then you must be one of the entitled generation. Multi-millionaires playing the game of football in front of friends, family and millions of fans should be enough.

=================================
Many NFL players need all the cash they can get. Despite all the money they make, they still are broke.

bottom line the offense plays to score and embarrass the defense and the defense plays aggressive and to inflict pain and fear on the offense this is the game and if there is no sure fire proof of dirty hits/play then just put an end to the whole bounty mess and lets move on.

I don’t know about you, but when the DC (Williams) admits to it, and the bulk of his players (except Sharper) admit to it, that constitutes “sure fire proof” in my book.

In response to my own typo it was Johnny sweeping Daniel’s bad leg….

Some of the posters on here are just dumb…

So Eli is bitter that he lost to the Saints last year in the regular season? I’m sure the current Super Bowl MVP is still upset about a regular season loss……..

Eli makes a great point here, while there are salary cap and tax issues (I’m sure these guys are not claiming this extra income but maybe Williams was deducting the expense) there is nothing ethically wrong with “I’ll give you $1,000 if you sack him on this drive.” or “we need a stop, $1,500 for a turnover on this drive.” There is however a line drawn when the goal is to injure someone. The issue to me arises when you start talking about “Carting him off the field” or “Taking him out of the game.”

I wonder if the people who say this isn’t a big deal are the same people who hated the bad guy from karatie kid for trying to take out Johnny’s bad leg?

Well said Eli…the only team I feel that hitting the QB for injury is necessary would be the Eagles. For all the smack that is talked from Philfy-Delphia I feel it is well deserved.

Just remember some stats Eagles fans:

NFC East Superbowl Victory Breakdown:

Cowgirls- 5 Lombardi Trophies
Giants- 4 Lombardi Trophies
Redskins- 3 Lombardi Trophies
Eagles- Empty trophy case

———————————————————————————-

Just remember your a Mets fan. So I see you know how it feels.

——————————————————-

Just remember the Mets did win the world series. Eagles still have ZERO!!! And yes the Jets even have 1. Eagles still have ZERO!!!

The money is merely a token, with the worth of a parking stub.

It’s actually ego and team driven, accomplish the personal and team goal as set out by the coach.

people hate Eli cause he’s the real life mr.bean, accomplishes incredible things by bumbling around and not earning it… only it’s funny on film and annoying in real life when guys like Dan Marino/Jim Kelly can’t win superbowls, yet this doofus continues getting rings…
nothing against the giants, they’ve got an awesome group of Pass Rushers.

Hey Eli. The Midgets have bounties as well. Might want to verify things before you comment.

Anyone that thinks this bounty situation isnt a big deal and is just used as motivation is just an inconsiterate piece of sh it. There is a difference between using money as motivation to make a clean play and using money as motivation to take someone out of the game by injuring them. Any player and or coach that was a part of this should be banned from the NFL. I love the big hard hits in the NFL but when your talking about injuring other players on purpose. Its just wrong and needs to be disciplined to the extreme.

This bounty crap has gotten way out of control…some of the best and NFL legal hits that have knocked players from games weren’t bounties…football is violent and physical by nature the big hit is the highlight of the game for the D and as long as it’s within the rules of the game…do you think LT had a bounty for Theismann when he snapped his leg? I don’t think so check out his reaction after the play…bottom line the offense plays to score and embarrass the defense and the defense plays aggressive and to inflict pain and fear on the offense this is the game and if there is no sure fire proof of dirty hits/play then just put an end to the whole bounty mess and lets move on.

Count on the People’s Commisioner Roger Goodell to bring justice and round up the criminal elements of the NFL. Greatest sports commisioner in the history of mankind.
