[QUOTE="Southpaw, post: 438791, member: 5186"] Sorry. No it wasn't directed straight towards him but more generally. Whether it's been going on around the league or has been done in decades past is irrelevant, IMO. There are rules in place, the Saints knew them and blatantly disregarded them and then were dishonest about it. To be surprised that the hammer was dropped to this degree is silly. Especially when everyone has seen how fast and hard players are being disciplined for violations of rules in place for player safety. I also fail to see how taping some hand signals is worse than the livelihood of players being risked because some guy wants whats in the pot. Taping Hand Signal isn't going to guarantee you win a single down of football let alone a game or 3 superbowls or become a team that makes the playoffs every year. I really don't see how it's worse than this incident. This was 3 straight seasons of disregard for the well being of opposing players. Not hitting guys with the intent to make a play but hitting them with the pure intent of causing physical harm. Contact is part of football, but the act of hitting other players is not the basis of this sport. [/QUOTE]
