Question about Bounty Gate

If I were a player on the team and I had the chance of receiving a $10 grand bonus to take an opposing player out, why would I do it?
If it were an illegal hit I would get fined a whole lot more than 10 grand fr Goodell and the NFL.

What if...
quote:
A Saints source who testified during the league's investigation told ESPN's Ed Werder on Wednesday that he believed the league's findings are exaggerated. The source said that while the report said the program existed for three seasons, it was limited to playoff games in the Superdome against Arizona and Minnesota in 2009.
The source told Werder that the program began when Williams was concerned about creating a higher level of motivation for his defensive players as they prepared for the postseason. Before a team meeting, Williams told Vilma that he had a plan, and that the coach provided Vilma with the 10,000 dollars he offered to any teammate who knocked out Warner. The source said Vilma returned the money to Williams following the meeting.
According to the source, Williams believed the financial reward created the proper defensive mindset. So Williams and Vilma repeated the scenario the next week before playing the Vikings and Favre, who was the victim of several illegal hits, had to be helped from the field, but finished the game.

So, when Warner was destroyed by McCray did he pop up in the next meeting asking for the 10 grand? Since it was just a motivational tool did Gregg say, "How about double or nothing for Favre?" Seems a bit far-fetched.

Good point. If anyone got a "remember me" hit on someone, it was McCray on Warner. To my knowledge, McCray never got a thing for this.

I think the lesson here (sadly) is that the players signed a shitty CBA in terms of appealing discipline, and now they're stuck with it for 9 years unless the owners move to get rid of him, or some damning info about Goodell comes out. I'm starting a rumor now: Goodell and Shanle...affair.
