Well well well…HELLO POT..meet Kettle.

As a player, or employee, you pretty much have to do what the boss says. When Williams and Payton are instructing them all to participate in this bounty program, then it is no longer on the player as much. I mean, do we really expect these players to blow the whistle on this program in the midst of a playoff run? No way. They had no choice and did what they had to do to impress their leaders and mentors.

So whatever a player gets, it shoudln’t be any more than 8 months at this point. Should the coaches and execs have been banned longer? Probably yes, they clearly got off pretty easy. No other occupation on earth would have put up with that. But the fines have been levied and it would be unfair to hit the underlings harder than the bosses.

NFL punter=More money than you will ever see in your pathetic life.

Secondly, someone posted earlier the fact that this was 9or could be construed as) a continuing criminal enterprise, enforcement of the RICO act in any criminal proceeding could be used, and as messed up as it sounds I also agree with that thought. Mary, Mother of freakin’ Mouse Ears – the team had already been warned after the previous inquiry to turn that noise off, and instead let it continue. The ends justify the means, folks.

Lastly, I hate to say this, but I think the beatdowns Roger handed out weren’t severe enough. Sure, I may agree he overstepped his powers a bit, but I get the message he’s sending out. As for Jon Vilma, he needs to go away if for any reason, for being a total idiot about his role, let alone any other players Roger decides to clip or beat down over this whole thing.

How is the league going to protect the defensive players? Who is to say that the offensive players don’t give each other incentives for playing great or targeting a player to get him outof the game? Chad Johnson made hit lists of DB’s.

I still would like to see the evidence that says the bounty system was set up so players would earn extra money if another players career was ended. I just don’t believe that anyone who has ever played a sport at any level ever would intentionally try to end another persons career. When you make it to the highset level of sport- getting paid to play, you know what it takes nobody wants to take that away from another person, but it is win at all costs…and if you win the league pays you more with pro bowl money, playoff money, champiobship money, more endorsements, etc. Winning = money, that is what is taught.

As if football wasn’t physical and violent enough, players have to worry about coaches encouraging and financially supporting players who target others to intentionally injure or maim. Any person should pause at such a tactic. The NFL players and NFLPA should fully support the punishment issued and forthcoming.

Why anyone would use the term “snitch” for someone exposing such sinister acts is just ignorant and irresponsible. Sapp is a fool and his comments directed at Shockey are what I would expect from a criminal. At least some players have the courage to speak up and not go along to get along.

I feel dirty for liking Kluwe. I’m not sure if it’s because he’s a punter or a Viking. Probably a little of both.
=================
I’m a Vikings fan, but you made me laugh. Good one.

gb4mno should take notice. You can dislike a team and its fans without making a complete idiot of yourself, as you always do.

every coach and player involved in this should be suspended for 3 years-the amount of time they did bounties. and any player that knew about bounties but didn’t speak out, should be suspended a year. all without pay. they won games based on being a hit squad. and lied about it.

vikings were robbed of a superbowl appearance because the saints couldn’t beat them straight up, so they had to take out Favre. favre wasnt the same after those hits.

even this year, they were trying to injure peterson’s ankle, and peterson called them out on it.

shame on the saints. you’re a disgrace. drew brees, i used to respect you. but now youre nothing but a hack. you’re a hack who allowed his fellow team members to take out fellow QB’s. hows if feel that superbowl you won was won because you’re team couldn’t beat your opponent straight up? youre a disgrace of a leader, and a moron for whining about the suspensions.

This is far from over. Wait until the IRS get’s involved.. This is all cash money… Straight cash homey, that more than likely wasn’t claimed on income taxes. I can about guarantee you that most if not all of them didn’t bother to tell their CPA about it. And you can bet Roger knows everyone that got a cash payment.. So now that he knows, in walks Uncle Sam to have a sit down chat with Roger, and well, Roger won’t be able to lie for the Saints about this one. Yeah, this is far from over!

to all of you saying his opinion doesn’t matter because he’s “just a punter,” read his post on deadspin. Kluwe can destroy you, and is easily one of the coolest guys in the league. and who are you to say he’s just a punter? look at yourself. if he is a loser punter, what’s that make all of us?

and he is also 100% right. any player or coach involved in this should be banned for life.

Let me explain this to you in terms even a poor naive like you can understand. My team has 4 Lombardi’s, yours has zip, zero, nada. Absolutamente nada!

Hey gb4mn0,
Let me explain something in terms that you probably won’t understand. The Packers are as much your team as the Vikings are mine. You are a fan, not a part of the team. Your life is consumed by the Pack, and they have no idea who you are. The members of the Pack have lives and wives, while you are most likely still a virgin. You spit venom in your ten anti-Vikes posts every day. There is no way any woman has or will ever like you. For your sake, hopefully the Pack continues to play well on Sundays, because your life would be one miserable pile of crap otherwise. Grow up please. Your trolling is getting old.
