pathetic

New Orleans Saints face NFL sanctions for offering bounty payments for injuring opponents - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN

I'm ashamed.

It seems that Atlanta's very own Matt Ryan was quite high on their list as well...tsk tsk.

Brett Favre didn't care... and he was high on that list.

The hits were legal, but they got extra for injuries... maybe I'm in the minority, but the only thing I see that was really wrong was having to place bets on it vs. doing their jobs and having those things happen w/o needing money as a motivator to do it.

It is no different than people paying non-victims to claim that they were victimized in an attempt to character assassinate a political candidate. The same can apply to a political party wrongfully paying volunteers to go out an actually fill out voter registration forms for unregistered voters under the guise of a voter registration drive. Cheating & cheap shots for pay are common, but if we are going to have disdain for one shouldn't we have disdain for all?

Hey, if Ronnie Lott was a betting man, he would have cleaned up. All his hits were legal, and plenty of TE & WR's had the bruises to prove it. I wish that he had played for the Raiders. He had the Raider mentality!

Trying to injure a player in order to leave them unable to play football is inexcusable...im sorry, as much as i moan and groan about bringing the physicality back to football and quit softening it up with all these rules, there's also a line that has to be drawn in the sand when it comes to putting bounties on players in order to eliminate them from play or end their career...it is all too easy to wrap a QB up and tear their knees to pieces, or a WR, or even the TE's these days. Play hard, play tough, play physically...but don't try to injure another player to the extent these bounties were leveled on, that's just too much.

it's Official: Manning to Broncos

i would not want to be the Chiefs, Raiders or San Diego right now

I hope that whatever team Tebow lands with gets to face Denver in the playoffs and that team kicks Denver's ARSE.

Yep. Still, from a business standpoint, Broncos management was wise to go after Manning. His talent, knowledge of the game is incalculable. Is it a risk, especially if he gets re-injured and they've gotten rid of Tebow? Of course, it is. Still, as much as I like Tebow and want him to succeed in the NFL (and he will), there is no way I would've passed on a chance to get Peyton Manning. On the other hand, the 49ers has enough talent to where they didn't "need" to go after Manning and Alex Smith has every right to feel betrayed and disrespected and the 49ers may very well pay for it in the upcoming season depending on Smith's mentality when the season begins, in my opinion.

Well, if Manning gets hurt, maybe i'll get to see Brady Quinn play some football.

I'm a Bronco fan so believe me when I tell you that Brady Quinn was traded a day or two ago to Kansas City. So yes you'll be able to watch Quinn in a Broncos game twice a year...

I wish the Broncos could keep Tebow and let him develop for 2 years. Then I think we would see something - besides magic.

what a day in the NFL; Saints got b!tch slapped with suspensions and Tebow to the Jets

Duvi, this trade has me a bit confused..

i thought Sanchez was "THE Guy". are the Jets starting to lean another direction already? or is this a "well see how training camp goes/QB duel/safety net" scenario?

It's more like "another option" rather than "who's gonna be the guy".

They gave mark an extension already and he's locked up for five years. The real issue is what happens when mark's first pass in the season is an interception. The fans will be booing Sanchez and asking for Tebow.

The trade makes sense in the "we can do more things, like ground and pound" aspect, but it's gonna really have Gang Green nation wondering wtf they're doing. I say that because we had a chance to keep Brad Smith a few years back who did the same that Tebow does, maybe w/o as good of a throwing arm, but also ran punts back for us.

I'm just so depressed I can't think straight. I really think the punishment was way beyond the crime.
