Penalties for this one should be serious.

I see nothing wrong with this at all. It’s a physical game.
In the ‘old days’ of the NFL, teams used to do this with good effect. Think of it as an employee incentive bonus.

A year’s suspension from the league would be about reasonable.

Penalties for this one should be serious.
Willfully trying to injure an opposing player (especially for bonuses) that could possibly end their career should result in a permanent ban from the sport.

I know NOTHING about sports. However, wasn’t there a problem w/ Pete Rose (I think that was him, the one not allowed into the baseball HOF) betting on games he was playing in?
Perhaps not the same thing here, but to have “bounties” to purposefully injure a player out of a game seems ungamely to me.....as to injuring a player on purpose.
They both seem to play along the lines of “throwing” a game.

It was apparent that they were out to hurt Brett Favre in the playoffs a couple of years ago. As bad as this is, the NFL officials are the ones that should be the most severely punished, because they consistently looked the other way!

NFL penalties and fines aside, this looks like a felonious criminal conspiracy to assault.

It's the officials that stood there and watched as Favre was hit late and viciously time after time, without doing a thing to stop it, that are more to blame than any coach or player.
If the first one resulted in 15 yards, and the second one in an ejection, it would have ended it.

One day story. If that. Compare it to the years of garment rending over steroids in baseball. Gonna’ be Congressional hearings and a SOTU mention about this barbarity?
The NFL is a TV show, not a sport.

Dang, now the (icky) lawyers and (ugh) congress will get involved, and we will not recognize the game.
Dang.
