Its a B-O-U-N-T-Y

It’s like getting paid to ruin someone’s life. A bounty in football is getting paid besides your regular paycheck to injure someone and get them out of the game. Edward Suggs is a Ravens Linebacker. Coach told him to hit them hard but he can’t spell the word bounty let alone know what it means. So when asked in an interview did you have a bounty on that young man (Rashard Mendenhall) Terrell replies "definetly we just didnt get him between the whistles" (the hit was on Hines Ward too). See in football the point is to hit someone hard so they think twice about running that route again. Yes coach told them to hit them "hard" but the word bounty was used loosely in the brain of Terrell Suggs. Yes Rashard was hit hard and is out for the season with a shoulder injury. Later Suggs speaks of the fact that his team don’t pay each other to get a player out and the coaches sure don’t but yes they do want to hit the big players hard. The point is Bounties are illegal in the NFL, and are a serious matter hopefully Terrell will think twice before he says something he doesn’t quite understand.

Injuries

Injuries are just something you accept when you play football but exactley what kind of injuries are you accepting? Willie Parker is injured with a strained left knee and will not return until week 7. After an injury Rashard Mendenhall the second string Half Back was put into the game. Only halfway into the Game He was struck HARD and that hit put him on the bench with a fractured left shoulder putting him on injured reserve. Brian Westbrook, Westbrook started with a normal ankle injurie due to a hit by the steelers rough and tough defense. But later in the season against the Redskins, Westbrook was hit so hard that he fractured two ribs and with the Eagles Week 7 bye they'll probably leave him out for two weeks and possibly a gametime desicion on week 8. Carson Palmer QB for the Cincinnati Bengals is hurting with a right elbow injury but played on sundays game against the cowboys and suprisingly made out with 23 out of 39 passes with a total of 217 reception yards. Anquan Boldin Wide Reciever for the cardinals is out with a head injury or *Fractured Sinus Membrane* And is getting a couple stiches on his lips the amazing part though is how he was knocked UNCONSCIOUS on the feild and undergoed a small surgery. Last but not least Gus Frerotte got two stiches on his non throwing hand and simply said himself "I think one of those hard-plastic things cut open a blood vessel in my hand,"
But he's back to his normal self once again saying himself "its good, its fine" and throwing 19 passes for 222 yards. Thats whats up in the sports world
