There is an exemption clause that makes it legal to put bounties on Cowboys players.

It's actually 4 players from the Bills alone saying there was payment for intentionally injuring guys.

That's what I'm saying. This place has some hypocrites.

I agree with you but what about this example? Michael Jordan admittedly putting 100k on one hole of golf?

That was a joke.

Good point. When it comes to taxes, they usually do send in Seal Team 6. :P

I know. These guys work for them. This is what they do on the weekends.

On the other hand, Gibbs had to have some idea of Williams' way since he was essentially a Buddy Ryan clone, one of the few people Gibbs legitimately could not stand

The 10 man defense for instance.

If that is true then he should be punished. Most of the guys I've heard talk don't think it's a big deal and neither do I.

Whether or not he was going to allow it in his locker room is a different story. But yeah, it's strange that the NFL wouldn't have informed the Rams about the investigation and the potential severity of the situation.

As far as the HOF game, do the Saints have some important former players up for selection or something? It's a shame because instead of celebration the history of the game, that entire week is going to be bounty-gate ad nausem.

Add up all the money from all those pools and that 10k is like comparing a penny to Bill Gates fortune.

I'm not disagreeing the IRS doesn't want a slice, because they want to rob you blind whenever they can. I just said this point was petty to argue the case (even if it is true).

I would certainly classify someone as being hypocritical if they root for injury while watching a game and then turn around have a big issue with this bounty thing.

I don't think there are too many regular posters around here who sincerely cheer for the Redskins opponents to get injured.

My point on the IRS was really just a side point to the bigger issue, but regardless, anytime the IRS looks in your direction, I wouldn't call the issue petty.
