Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 469922">Goodell is skating on thin ice and splitting hairs, among other metaphors. The fact he contended as a secondary argument that such "bonuses" are violations of the salary cap indicates how skimpy the case happens to be. I agree with you that the difference between "big hits" and "cart offs" is a distinction without a difference. If your object is to drill a guy, even legally, wouldn't you think his being carted off might be a possible outcome? And what if no money changed hands? How a about a symbolic "game hammer" for the biggest hit? Would that be OK? I happen to believe side bonuses for big hits are bad for the game; I also believe Goodell goofed in not getting rules laid out in the last CBA negotiation if he thought such activities were bad for the game.</blockquote>
