Sean Payton Suspended 1 Year, Saints Lose Pair of 2nd Round Picks

[FirstTimer]

I still dont believe the bounty made the Saints players wanna injure opponents any more than any other team.

.

Odd, if that's the case.....THEN THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR THE BOUNTY PROGRAM TO BEGIN WITH.


You honestly think that Jonathan Vilma standing in the locker room ad offering 10k to take out a QB has no effect on the way a player would go out and play the game?

Srsly?

If it doesn't then why offer the 10k? Why make the announcement?

[FirstTimer]

i never stated any of the hits were legal....you seriously have a reading disorder

Apparently in Maynard warped view legal =/= not being against the rules.

Just STFU.

With each post you make yourself look increasingly dumber.

[Maynard]

i cant help it your too stupid to understand FT. if i look stupid too you then its only because your too dumb to get it.

see i get what your saying. as stupid as you may be, i still can think down a few notches to get your point. i am sorry if my remedial sentences are too much for you to handle.

just stick with those posts and you will be ok....keep it on your level their buddy...and dont hurt yourself...btw, those groans only show how angry you get...lol

Incorrect. Just because they had a bounty program doesnt mean there was a need for it.

If i started a bounty program on VSN for flaming, and a few members contributed to the pot, does that mean there is a NEED for it and everyone participates?

You honestly think that Jonathan Vilma standing in the locker room ad offering 10k to take out a QB has no effect on the way a player would go out and play the game?

If they have a brain, no it shouldnt have any effect whatsoever.

150,000 fine + 15 yard penalty >>>>> 10,000 bounty

apparently you have not sensor. they teach this type of behavior in HS. shit i remember as far back as 12 years old playing for the city leagues being told to clean his clock....kill the QB....destroy him

Wow, thats some strong evidence. They teach this by saying "destroy him". Got it. Your coaches must have been awesome. Did you also have a defense called "kill the QB" or "clean his clock"?

it got more intense as the years went on. i never played anything beyond college, but i know dam well the pros are even more intense about this.

HA HA HA HA HAHA! What college did you play at? Who was your coach?

most players are not studs....that means they need to do everything in their power to make it. if that means creaming the oppositions star player so he is carted off the field, then so be it.

Really? Thats how teams determine who to keep, by who can cream the oppositions star player? So are the Bears going to cut Matt Forte to keep a roster spot open for Corey Wooten, because he's the guy that hurt Favre?

So now, not only does every player in the league headhunt...the front office makes decisions on which players to keep and which players to cut based on who can injure the other team's players more often?????

its sad that you guys are the ones with a rep for being so knowledgeable about sports, but the fact is you are really just a bunch of arm chair QB's who dont know shit....wow

Yeah, its sad. Sorry to disappoint.

[FirstTimer]

see i get what your saying.

No you don't.


At all.

Above ya kid.

Above ya.

maynard: I don't care about the bounties as long as the hits that were made were not against the rules

VSD: The hits made on Warner on the block and some of the hits against Favre were legal hit(ie "not against the rules") but could be/were obviously dealt out as a result of the bounty program yet you seemingly have no moral or ethical qualms with that...which is both sad and scary

maynard: Herpa derpa derpa.

ZB: Bounties have no effect. HERPA DERP!

maynard and ZB in unison. DERPA DERPA HERP!

Teams/players have a way of policing themselves. You also have a small group of guys who have played football together their entire lives. They might have played together in college, many of them went to the same summer camps. Then these same guys play with and against each other in the NFL for a number of years. You have a certain level of respect for your fellow NFL player, and if you make a dirty play against someone, odds are there is going to be retribution.

The idiots in this thread make it seem as if every game is a bloodbath, and every player is trying to injure every other player on every single play. Have any of you played football before? Seriously.

I guess I just have a problem with the statement that most NFL players are not out to intentionally injure each other.

But of course I am an Eagles fan.............

and maybe watched too many episodes of 1st and Ten............

and possibly watched Any Given Sunday one too many times.........

sprinkle in a couple viewings of the Longest Yard..the old one, not the stupid Sandler one......

and viola, instant gullible NFL Fan......

I'm actually a little burned out from the argument, but I'll say this. It's not that I can't understand your view point and where it's coming from. I respect it.

The problem is I always thought this went on, and was a little taken aback by the reactions in the media and in here. I understand that bounties are wrong. But I just assumed it was an accepted part of the game.

[FirstTimer]

Incorrect. Just because they had a bounty program doesnt mean there was a need for it.

Nice work not understanding what the hell is going on.

Jesus Christ.

If i started a bounty program on VSN for flaming, and a few members contributed to the pot, does that mean there is a NEED for it and everyone participates?

I would venture a guess that flaming would increase and in cases where it wasn't needed.

Hmm.

Sound familiar?

If they have a brain, no it shouldnt have any effect whatsoever.

150,000 fine + 15 yard penalty >>>>> 10,000 bounty

Where was the fine on the Warner block?

[Maynard]

Yeah, its sad. Sorry to disappoint.

is there a point in here somewhere? your just spouting off and saying nothing that counters my point. i guess that means you have no point

good i win

No you don't.

i like how you changed the comment you made into the collective comment of VSD....lol

btw, nice try to save face

[ZoneBlitz]

Where was the fine on the Warner block?

Where is the proof that hit was a result of the bounty?

[Maynard]

oh, i almost forgot

 

gotta keep it on your level

[FirstTimer]

ZB: I don't think bounties influence the way players play.

VSD: Then why have them if they aren't going to influence play? As some sort of asinine "lucky injury hit" lottery?

ZB: Just because they had a bounty program doesnt mean there was a need for it

VSD: Odd. Not the discussion. You are saying bounties don't influence the way players play. When in almost every case of a bounty program taking place in NFL history it pretty obviously has, yet in this case it somehow didn't despite the fact that we can go watch tape of those games and see some huge killshot hits that likely weren't needed...but no..the bounties didn't have an effect.

Jesus H Christ.

[Houston]

apparently you have not sensor.

*Senser 81, though "Senser" is also acceptable.

[FirstTimer]

i like how you changed the comment you made into the collective comment of VSD

Actually I didn't.

It's a combination of two posts.

Nice work being brain dead.

Where is the proof that hit was a result of the bounty?

Where is the proof that it wasn't?

How often do you see QB's getting decleated on ear hole hits on INT returns?

Seriously? You can't see the issue here? If EVERY single hit during the course of a game is in question because of a bounty program the entire integrity of the league is in question.

You're fucking terrible

what play are you talking about FT?
