February 8, 201313 yr My examples are about knowingly breaking rules. In your post you suggested that knowingly breaking rules is uncommon and I am pointing out that it is not uncommon. That is how I am viewing it but to each his own. I will say that if he would have went thru with it or one of his teammates did it would have been reason to permanently ban that player for life. That's my line of thinking as well. I have no reason to believe he was serious and that he would have gone through with tackling Ginn. Had he actually done so then I'd definitely be on board with banning him for life.
February 8, 201313 yr Author I will say that if he would have went thru with it or one of his teammates did it would have been reason to permanently ban that player for life. This we agree on! Additionally, I think the NFL should investigate this.
February 8, 201313 yr The NFL has bigger things to worry about than this... Namely, the mounting medical and scientific evidence that professional football is so hazardous to those who play it that eventually the government will ban it or change it so fundamentally that it will no longer be recognizable as football.
February 8, 201313 yr What is the NFL going to investigate? Yes, he said something. No, he did not do anything wrong. Will they try and determine intent by the tone of his voice? C'mon...this is people looking for something bad about the guy. Let it go. It will be forgotten soon enough.
February 8, 201313 yr Additionally, I think the NFL should investigate this. What exactly would they investigate?
February 8, 201313 yr Author What exactly would they investigate? Was it harmless talk or an actual conspiracy to break the rules and change the outcome of the super bowl.
February 8, 201313 yr We all act like Flacco would have been able to catch Ginn anyway. The best outcome would have been Ginn breaking lose, Flacco racing on to the field to tackle him and then get abused by Ginn on a juke move. "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't trying."
February 8, 201313 yr I'm just glad he's not the quarterback of my team. My team's quarterback cheats in entirely different form.
February 8, 201313 yr Was it harmless talk or an actual conspiracy to break the rules and change the outcome of the super bowl. But how would you determine if there was conspiracy?
February 8, 201313 yr What does intentionally walking a batter say about character? It's a legal strategy to win a game.
February 8, 201313 yr Was it harmless talk or an actual conspiracy to break the rules and change the outcome of the super bowl. Doesn't conspiracy mean plotting to do something in secret? Is making an out loud statement infront of NFL films on the sideline of the most watched event in this country really a secret plot? He would of been a moron to follow through but its not a big deal. No way he would of risked his 8-9 figurge pay day.
February 8, 201313 yr Was it harmless talk or an actual conspiracy to break the rules and change the outcome of the super bowl. What would it accomplish? Sounds like a waste of time, effort & money...
February 8, 201313 yr Author What would it accomplish? Sounds like a waste of time, effort & money... I agree there are probably too many negatives for the NFL to go down this road however I think the NFL taking this serious helps protect the integrity of the game. Think of it in these terms everyone, if the NFL has proof (like NFL films audio and video) of players discussing how to cheat/break the rules to change the outcome of a game should they do nothing? Please answer the question in general terms.

No way he would of risked his 8-9 figurge pay day. It means you conspire with others but like a lot of football players Flacco has to be dumber than two bags of hammers. Remember, some audio/video is what really added fuel to the Saints bounty case.
