Does any part of you think the bounty program is kind of bad arse?

it will truly be bad arse if we lose draft picks and the franchise tag option

Pussification of America.

You should do everything within the rules to knock out the other team's best players.

People need to get a grip. The whole sport is about violence. How people think it is "crazy" that this kind of stuff would happen boggles my mind...

defensive players get paid to hurt offensive players. Regardless of if it is an official bounty.


i cant believe the negative backlash from this from the media. I am glad some opposing players understand that this is fairly normal and just comes with the sport.


In a sport that has cracked down on after whistle penalties and "hard hits", its hard to sit here and say that the Saints were doing anything so bad that the referees wouldnt catch on. You know how much they are cracking down.

All of me thinks its bad arse. Players paying each other to play well instills comradery among them. I bet they played twice as hard for bragging rights for getting the bounty more than the bounty itself.

My thoughts exactly. I fail to see the big deal. Its not like league rules were abandoned.

It's a new defensive tactic. It has the potential to revolutionize the game.

the problem i have is that...naturally when one says bounty, you think that the players are out to hurt someone on purpose for money.


but i think it is more along the lines of "go out, play fast, play physical, play fair. If you hurt someone in the process, you'll be rewarded. But keep it within the game."



ie the Kurt Warner hit by Bobby McCray. Well within the rules of the game.


Its just hard for me to think they were trying to hurt people outside the rules of the game and no referee saw it.


id be curious to know the amount of after the whistle/personal foul penalties by the Saints the last 3 years compared to other teams
