Wow that was harsh considering you know it is happening on a lot of teams.

Right and I'm sure Goodell knows it, but the league has to step up and remove any doubt that it's accepted.  I think he made his point.

I know everyone keeps saying that all the teams do it and its been around forever, but is that really true?  is there any proof?  It seems like if this HAS been going on, this punishment is the NFL's way of saying its stops now.

Honestly, I think these are appropriate punishments.  As a fan, I get that its a player's job to physically break down their opponent, but this act of targeted attacks, with full intent of causing injuring, is sadistic and really disgusts me - especially since there was a financial reward.

If I were a player injured by a team that is known to practice this incentive program, I would press for criminal assault charges.

The only proof of it would be hearsay and there have been quite a few players coming out and saying that it happened.  In my mind, it's the same as PED use in sports.  There's not going to be a lot of hard proof, but that doesn't mean it's not happening

I don't think the money incentives are that widespread, and if they are it's at much lower dollar amounts. Being happy to knock important players out of the game is probably widespread, but that's not the reason for these penalties.

I wonder if Williams will ever coach again.  The amount of scrutiny he'll bring to whatever team signs him after his suspension will be huge

It's a sport where guys hit each other. From the first time you join a team if you are a defensive player it is drilled into you to hit hard, as hard as you can, every time between every whistle.

So instead of just saying that, they said he hit hard like your supposed to and make an extra effort to hit that guy as often as you can as hard as you can. Is it that big of a deal to go the 3/4 of an inch further and tell them you will reward them if certain players can't play? NO.

This isn't golf. If Tiger Woods paid his caddy to break his opponents knee caps I would take issue with it. This is fucking football. The NFL is a bunch of pussy shit these days anyway.

But when your stars are out injured because you encourage that type of stuff, then where are you?

Would you rather have a league with lots of big hits but not a lot of big time star skill position athletes, or the other way around? I'd rather have the skill position stars playing and it's not even close.

That's enough right there to be against injury bounties without even addressing the fact that there's a big difference between hitting a player hard to injure him, hitting him hard to intimidate him, and hitting him hard to gain an advantage on the play. The last one if perfectly fine, the middle one is a tough question and your arguments would be good for that discussion. The first one is easily wrong.

It's up to the coaches to plan for injuries, period.
