Greg Williams and "Bounty-Gate"

You have most likely heard about "Bounty-gate" - the charge levied against the former Saints defensive coordinator Greg Williams. To sum it up, Greg Williams was caught on tape offering rewards for the injury of specific players on the opposing team. What has come out from "players" defending Williams details why they are paid to play a child's game. They simply don't understand the real world. It is one thing to offer $1500 to a guy for sacking a quarterback, or legally laying someone out; it is entirely different to say "hit number 25 in the ankle" that 25 previously had ACL surgery on. That is intent to injure, not win.

NFL players need to realize the reality of the situation, starting with the fact that they aren't paid for their minds. The vast majority of NFL players have no business in front of a microphone and need to realize they are paid to play a game that children, 6 year old children, play. Last I checked, children weren't spending their Saturday mornings pretending to be Lawyers or Historians, no, they play games, games like Football.

Williams encouraged and paid for the isolated INJURY of specific athletes. That is the key, injury, he wanted people carted off the field. The ironic part here is the same athletes defending this notion, would be on camera crying a river if big bad Harrison of the Steelers ever touched them slightly illegally.

Now people have argued that the hits were never flagged, however, anyone who watched the Saints vs Vikings playoff game knows flat out, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the Saints were attempting to injure Brett Favre. Fact is, the coach was dirty, the team was dirty for following him as was the head coach and general manager. The NFL Commissioner was correct in his ruling. Players, PLAYERS, need to remember, they play a game for the fans enjoyment and in the Commissioners world, stop listening to the hype that you are more than you are.

Fox News or CNN?

Ah, Fox and CNN. Where to start. Each one has its own bias. I was, for a very very long time an avid CNN viewer, literally the TV would be on CNN when I got home from work and stay there. Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate. Maybe my lack of line loyalty allows me to have an open mind where others seen inherently sheltered. I have very strict guidelines for leaders; 1) be hon...
