Taints and fans showing true colors!
Priceless

If you feel you are being treated that unfaily, sue the league. Bring all the evidence in to the PUBLIC arena, and we’ll see how it goes from there. The CRIMES the committed, carry a minumum 7 year sentence. Lets see how that works out for them.

“If the league didn’t know, then the league should reopen the investigation and, possibly, levy additional discipline.”

You are such a crab and clearly why America is so pussified.

The NFL is nothing more than a glorified 7 on 7 passing league.

Let’s put you in on offense as a receiver or halfback and see how long your fat ass lasts against one of these “pussified” defenses.

The Rams are a pretty desperate organization. “Deals with the devil” only happen with greed and desperation. I would imagine that’s part of it.

However, I agree that it’s very questionable that Jeff Fisher, a “pillar” of the NFL community, would allow this. Do we know that Williams was Fisher’s choice? If so… I’d like to know how it happened. There just isn’t a lot of integrity left. It’s a win-driven league because wins=money, and that’s all owners care about. I saw the NFL films special on Tom Landry and how he did it “his way,” despite several losing seasons… but turned the Cowboys into a dynasty. Fisher doesn’t have that luxury; not even ’99 will afford him more than two to three years.

* Yep, ‘deals with the devil out of greed and desperation.

* Re: do we know if Fisher hired Williams….he would’ve as HC’s most often hire their own staff, and Fisher especially, with decades of high-standing in the NFL would be one of those HCs who demands more control in football matters.

* Integrity….the whole bounty issue is very complex. Not condonable the intent-to-injure bounties, nor that coaches/GMs ran it. Yet, Goodell surely being a hypocrite in covering up the rabbit hole, in releasing the audio, in many other aspects. Yet, at the same time Bernard Pollard is right criticizing the evolution towards Flag Football. It’s a complex topic.

Just on the latter point….basketball or soccer type sports where there isn’t too much physical contact, no tackling anyway, it’s worse to imagine an intent-to-injure bounty. But in football, which is not only very contact driven but violent even, it draws a very wide gray line where intent-to-injure can not only be hidden but also becomes part of the fabric of the sport. Like he said, they wear pads and helmets because it’s violent and the traditional rules are about violent intent thus hence the pads/helmets. So, if Goodell keeps cracking down on player safety it runs the risk of the sport literally becoming like basketball/soccer where only a certain amount of contact is allowed, having to play “off” and giving up their position/blocks/yards based on a theoretical not physical sense.

Here’s where it is the same though: you have to testify truthfully in both cases. If you don’t, your deal goes out the window. I don’t know what Williams told the NFL but, if they were not aware of this, then his indefinite suspension may become a lifetime ban.

Whatever happens, I think this will ensure that there is no way that Williams is back in the NFL before 2014 or 2015.

Why, so you can take advantage of this over hyped topic even more? It’s time to put this crap to rest and move on.

Williams should be banned for life, but reality is that he is now effectively is banned for life anyhow. No owner in this day and age is going to hire him and have that audio played continuously. He done and he deserves it.

Most likely because your favorite teams blows (Redskins?) and the only way for your team to get better than the Saints is for them to melt down themselves. Unless you happen to be a 49er fan….damn those guys. Always have our number

Gregg Williams will pay the ultimate price for the sins of many. It’s the ugly, but long-standing, side of football.

Now on to the subject at hand…I know Florio has never been in the position as proven by his sad articles he writes expressing his outrage even though I doubt his little butt has ever been in the defensive huddle. But for the rest of you pillow biters, realize this is the same speech that goes on in every locker room. Not just the NFL. Throw in college football as well as many high schools. You people seem to think these men are choir boys on defense. They are not. This is the mind set of a defensive player. Just the way it is. What do you think the opposing team does with the injury report each week? If the NFL was so concerned about safety, then why force teams to release a report of where the defense should aim to get someone out of the game? And if you don’t think you favorite team doesn’t use the injury report for the exact same reason, I have some property in Nigeria that I would like to sell you.

Don’t like the truth, stop watching the games. If you are going to watch, don’t act sanctimonious when the real way this game is played is put out there. This is the way it is.

This recording shows EXACTLY what the NFL punished Williams and everyone else for. Just because you hadn’t heard it before, and now you can hear it, doesn’t mean there should be additional punishment. I seem to be in the minority on this opinion, but it’s fair.
