    Correction: "Never said they WEREN'T, but thanks."

    Note that you should have used a comma in place of the period. That avoids the incomplete sentence.

    By the way, I'm not an english teacher, but I did take the class in school.

    How many good tacklers are there In the NFL today compared to years ago? Not near as many. Players seem to try and take the easy way out and try and spear someone Instead of wrapping them up like they were taught In HS and college.

    The saints were warned by the NFL, they were asked if it was happening and they lied about it. I'm going to liken this to punishing my child. If my kid does something they shouldn't and I ask them about it and they tell me the truth, I will give them a much less severe punishment. However, if they deny it and lie about it. I'm going to give them a very strong punishment. #1 rule, don't lie to me. Period. In my opinion, this is why they are being punished so much for this. It's a simple rule to follow, if you are caught, tell the truth.

    Football is a collision sport that is celebrated for big hits and sacks, but if you believe that it is OK to intentionally harm another player, then you have a twisted sense of morality.

    I see my Southron brethren set everything straight in my absense.

    Nothing else need be said.

    All joking aside, it's my take that Payton didn't get suspended so much because of the bounty program; he got suspended because he repeatedly lied to the NFL and Commissioners Office that he didn't know of it's existence, had team meetings to try and get everyone's story straight when they spoke with the NFL so they could better cover it up and didn't stop the program (for nearly 2 years) even after the NFL told them they were being investigated and were told to stop the program on multiple occasions...

    Punishment seems a little bit harsh to me, but apparently the NFL wanted to send a message and the Saints were on the receiving end...

    I have not said anything about this mess, so here goes. I am a football purist I guess. Some of you guys might understand me when I say this, I am a defensive minded balls to wall guy who played football for a long time and I think of the football field as a battleground with minimal rules. I could care less what goes on during the game as long as it is legal. Take someones head off, don't care. If someone wants to run across the middle and gets decapitated, who cares. If the QB has the ball he is fair game and if he gets hurt, who cares. And the list goes on and on, well because it is football.

    That being said, setting a friggin bounty to injure an opposing player is absolutely ridiculous. I am not sure if Peyton had knowledge of the practice but given the penalty set by the NFL, I guess he did. If he had knowledge of the bounty thing, then I think ALL of the punishments are warranted.

    The way I understand it, they were told to stop and they didn't. Then when they were being looked at the coaches said to keep it "quiet" but still didn't stop. The NFL looked into this for three years and have a, get this, 50,000 page report on what the team was doing. The first one caught is always the hardest hit.

    Statements like this crack me up. How many different ways can you type out the concept of a bounty on hitting players in football to reach 50,000 pages? That is over 25 times the pages in the average bible. They must have had a LOT to say.
