[QUOTE="Brandon, post: 438761, member: 6054"] [I]The Saints blatantly broke the rules in place on bounty programs which directly coincides with the League's strong policies on play safety in which this is blatant disregard for that.[/I] Player safety policy is not the issue here, the issue is one coach paying another player to hit another player. If there was no money on the line and the coach told a player "Hey, go put that QB's face in the dirt and don't be nice about it" there would be NO punishment, because so long as the hit is legitimate there is no penalty for playing hard. The only reason this is a problem is because there is money being involved, it isn't about the hits themselves. Paying one player to hit another player also gives you NO advantage during game time, none whatsoever. On the other hand, STEALING signals that coordinate with how an entire defensive or offensive side of the ball gives you what you need to win games, and that is far more egregious in my opinion. Again I'm not defending the Saints actions, but there is no sense whining about the actual hits.. this is football. [/QUOTE]
