I don't nkow anything about football so I don't know who is who but the coach who knew about the scheme should have been banned for life, not just for a year or 6 games or whatever. That's minor.

Gregg Williams (the coach that did it) IS basically banned for life or at least until the commish deems. Peyton (Saint's head coach) said he knew nothing about it from what I've heard.

The Rams really are screwed. They did nothing wrong and will lose Gregg Williams as a defense coordinator.

Weird, I could have sworn I read that as a 6 game ban, but now it says indeifnitely. Better start wearing tin foil hats, the aliens are getting to me!

Actually I was on the service squad at USC. The 1988-89 team. Seau, Peete, Carrier. We sent 15 guys to the NFL. Where did you play?

You're the one with the reading disorder. Hard hits is not the same as playing to injure. But a meltdown is a meltdown. Having fun?

No thats another coach. Gregg Williams is basically banned for life. Peyton is banned for a season and the third coach for 6 games. The Saints lose two second round picks and a fine of $500

I always have fun on here. You should do more reading on the whole "scandal" though. They where paid for big hits. They were paid MORE for knockouts and injuries. They weren't only paid for injuries. It should also be noted, this money was paid out of a pool of PLAYER money.

They do the same thing for big plays, picks, forced fumbles. The Redskins did the same thing in 2008 and prior with the same coach, yet there is no punishment for them. This is not new. It has been around for decades.

Football is a violent sport and fans go hysterical over the huge hits. It is a part of football DNA. Any football fan who is upset about players paying each other for big hits is a hypocrite. No where in any article I've read was it ever mentioned that they were issuing illegal hits with the sole purpose of injuring someone for 1,000 bucks. This was all to do with anything resulting from a legal hit.

Like I said earlier, players get fined for and maybe eventually suspended for dishing out seriously dangerous hits, but the NFL goes all eye-for-an-eye for exchanging a few bucks among players over LEGAL hits.

Maybe Ndamukong Suh should have been permanently banned from football last season? Nah, can't get rid of the leagues "dirtiest player", you have to go after dudes dishing out legal hits!

It wasn't just player money.

The main issue is wanting to injure. THAT is why these people were punished. Dislocated jaws, broken bones, cheap shots. I'm sorry you're in so much of a meltdown that you have lost the ability to think critically and common sense. I know you were the hard hitting badass whereever you played but maybe you got your own brains scrambled.

Nobody is complaining about good solid clean hits. It's wanting to take someone out of the game that is an issue.

You really should see a doctor about that reading disorder. Suh WAS suspended. Why? Because it wasn't a legal hit. THAT is what this is about.





Thanks for the newsflash Sherlock. Now feel free to catch up to the rest of the class.

Ok, what Saint players were paid a bonus for illegal hits?

I'll let an NFL player say it better than I can.

So, should Spielman have been kicked out of the NFL?

Again, I've seen nothing to say that any Saint was compensated for an illegal hit. I'll sit here and wait while you provide an example.
