Wow, Joe Vitt, the assistant head coach and LB coach also suspended for 6 games.

Well, I guess the Saints won't be playing in the Super Bowl in the Super Dome.

Yeah, its like football and stuff. Why should players try to hit each other? When I played ball I tried to do that shat for free. That was like the whole point of playing defense was to jack the other team up. If you hit them hard enough they were afraid to play.

did you win a prize for intentionally hurting an opposing player?

Not trying to be a smart ass, but someone please give me the list of players that were hurt and carted off the field.

Not counting Pierre Thomas when he was hit by the 49'ers.

Will the NFL be looking at the other teams now, since so many players have come out and said this exists in a lot of locker rooms?


Guess I will be doing a lot of fishing this fall.

Did you win a price for asking stupid questions? We were always pushed to give 100%. To hit as hard as we could. To rattle the other team. To make them not want to play any more. Is there really any difference between coaches telling a player to go out there and jack someone up or giving them a tiny 1,000 - 1,500 bonus for jacking someone up? That money to a pro football player is NOTHING. Not even to a rookie making league minimum.

If they are going to suspend for this then they should suspend any coach anywhere that encourages their players to go out and eff the other team up with hard hits.

Or maybe we should just change the NFL to two-hand-touch.

EDIT: Isn't it funny that the PLAYERS have no responsibility in this? Of course the NFLPA stepped in for them.
