re: The Vikings had a bounty program as well during Favre years

The last 5 paragraphs of your link sum it up. This was a non event that happened everywhere else and Goodell jumped on it and used our franchise as a scapegoat for the league. When I was a young lad many moons ago I had the privilege of meeting Alden Roche. He was an all-American from Southern who played several seasons for Green Bay. In short he said nasty and sneaky was the norm and eye gouging , biting anything was acceptable as long as you got away with it. Teams will use any edge they can get in order to win. That is the culture in the pros.

and he has a deep vendetta against Sean Payton.

Bounty blew up, headlines, suspended (attempted) players, two 2nd rounders, fines, suspended HC, suspended DC, suspended assistant coach, suspended GM, etc

If it wasn't a vendetta, the so called 2013 2nd rounder that could be returned would have been returned since everyone didn't raise hell over it.
