NFL's Pash...

quote:

---

Pash insisted the very existence of pay-for-performance programs must be eradicated because they could "morph" into something much worse.

"This is not something that anybody asked for," Pash said. "A lot of people are taking a hit here, starting with the National Football League. Does anybody think this is how we wanted to spend the offseason after the year we had in 2011? Does anyone think this is how we wanted to spend our time? Taking one of the great stories of the NFL -- the New Orleans Saints, where we're going to play the Super Bowl this year -- and have this dominate the headlines? But this came to us, and we have a responsibility to address it."

How about really address it in '09 before it got out of hand.

How about address it in '09 if you REALLY cared about player safety.

Pash can go blow smoke up someone else's butt. I'm sick of this crap. It was a pay for performance. We hurt virtually no one. Coaches and players have said kill the QB for years upon years. Doesn't mean go get your gun and shoot the QB. The problem here is everyone (NFL, Players, Media, etc) are looking at this in black and white. No common sense.

Were they wrong? Technically yes. Pay for performance. Wrong. Guilty. Done.

Talk of bounty? Maybe. Were the words there? Possibly. Most likely just a lot of hoorah speech trying to pump up a team. There is no evidence of a team acting upon it. Punishments were hands down too severe.
