Plenty of other bad guys. National Felon League??
Before the NFL became the “National Feminine League” this stuff used to go on all of the time.
For those of you that don’t remember or aren’t old like me, Oilers & Bears DC and eventual Eagles HC Buddy Ryan was putting “Bounties” on opposing players 25 years ago and the Networks were even building games up as “The Bounty Bowl” when Dallas played Philadelphia, and “Bounty Bowl 2” when they played again.
This kind of thing has been going on for a long time and will continue to do so.
It will be more low key, but it won’t end.
Ex: The starting front 4 Defensive Line might put up $250.00 each and the D Lineman with the most sacks, or hurries, or hits on the QB or combination of some/all gets $1,000.00
What’s to stop the NFL, the team, or anyone from 4 players doing this among themselves? Nothing and no one.
Google “The Bounty Bowl” & “Bounty Bowl 2” for those that don’t remember or are too young.
Eagle’s fans would also throw snowballs loaded with batteries at opposing players and coaches as the Grounds crew at the Vet in Philly would purposely leave snow in the stands for that very reason.
The only time Tom Landry didn’t shake an opposing coaches hand after a game was that of Buddy Ryan’s for the reasons above.
