@"Kentis" said:Of course you do. :) I agree with you as well. I think part of the motivation is so that video can't be used for or against the league and the player in regard to concussion issues.@"Vikergirl" said:Oh I agree w/ you, I just don’t see it as much of a deterent.@"Kentis" said: What a joke, that’s like fining you or me 1 buck! :s I know it's a joke but they had to do something.

If the league was serious about player health that would have been a fine against the player and the team and it would have been an real fine. 100 G + against the player and 750g against the team.
The thing that really get team's attention is not only lighting them up for cash, and suspensions, but taking away draft picks.
Monetary fine and the loss of a third rounder...teams have lost picks for far less serious offenses...another complete bull shit move from the NFL... Zero consistency of message and punishment... JFC, an absolute joke...fuck Goodell...

Zero consistency of message and punishment... JFC, an absolute joke...fuck Goodell...One of my biggest problems with the Goddell years. It shows a complete lack of respect for the o'ahers, the fans and the game. It tells everyone “We arent answerable to anyone, we dont care what you think and we will do whatever we want to anyone we care.” Number two on my list next to kneelers.
Rog couldn't take Wilson out when they are hanging on by a thread for their playoff lives. What would "the 12s" say if he did that???? *eye roll*
