“This is the guy that that we’ve got to hurt,” Baldinger said of Elliott in a radio interview last week. “This is the guy that we’ve got to take out of the game. There’s got to be 10 guys that want to hurt him every single play. In fact, we may even put a little bounty on Ezekiel Elliott.”


quote:

NFL Network told PFT today that Baldinger will be suspended for six months without pay. That’s a longer suspension than media companies typically hand out to commentators who get themselves in hot water, and a strong indication that the league was embarrassed to have one of its own employees advocate for intentionally injuring a player.


But I thought the Saints were the only team to have bounties.

Hmmm, former player talking about bounties like they were common place. How many former players came out with the same comments when Saints were being "investigated?" Very obvious that it was rampant throughout the league, but Goodell needed his scapegoat and intentionally ignored facts.

The NFLs hypocrisy and uneven discipline will continue to erode their popularity. Every week there is something else that comes up.

Good to know that between 2012 and today, this is the first instance of a bounty system since they took fair action on the Saints. Must have worked. Good job, Rog...

Just the man who inspired the name of my fantasy teams (Baldinger's Fingers) for the last decade.
