This is exactly what Payton did. While apologizing and doing the dance for Goodell, he has slyly sent messages that he does not agree. I have to believe he is not alone. Amid all moralizing about how Payton endangered players and kids and all that is good and holy, the truth is what he endangered was the games being played on Sundays to exorbitantly big crowds and for insane amounts of money. And that was really dangerous.

In all likelihood an 18-game schedule is way more dangerous to overall player health than any bounties by Saints players. So when Goodell flexed his power, it was more about whatever the legal terminology is for making sure the ugly behavior on the lower levels never touches corporate.


This may be posted somewhere, but I didn't find it when I searched.

He blew on his thumb and up came his middle finger, and he did so in a way that is not punishable.

I can't get the link to pull up on my phone for some reason, what quotes of Payton's does he show that does that?

Sounds like good stuff.

You are correct. A few threads down. But it's all good

Yep one of the better articles to come out in this mess. No direct quotes just observations from the media.

Imagine Parcells with an actual quarterback. The last time Parcells had one of those, it was Drew Bledsoe in New England.
