Regardless of the public statements saying that Anthony Barr is sorry that he injured GB QB Aaron Rodgers , I guarantee that he was high-fiving all of his fellow Vikings for "taking out Rodgers" . In fact he has probably landed a sweet bonus for it as well . Barr is feeling on top of the world .

Would Mr.Barr still be feeling like Superman with a $50,000.00 Bounty on his head . The Packers would not have to get involved , the fans would donate for it so quick that it would make your head spin . A broken leg, shattered hip, a blown out knee , etc. would have to take place on the football field . Any player from any team would be eligible to collect on the Bounty .

As poor as I am, I'd send in a ten dollar check ! [angry]

That's admirable, but as I said at the time, what message does that send? It tells teams like the Vikings, which has a rivalry with us that, unlike thhe traditional rivalry with Chicago, was always more about hate than respect, that they can GET AWAY with these types of cheap shots, and we don't have a guy who's gonna make them pay.

I knew it when the guy head butted Davante. It was just a matter of time before someone took a shot at Aaron.

Clay Matthews delivers cheaper shots than that about 15-20 times a year. IMO it was a borderline late hit but it wasn't particularly egregious. Nobody would be talking about this if Rodgers wouldn't have broken his collarbone.

The NFL [Not For Long] has inoperable cancer, its dead! But, if it can get behavior with the expressed purpose to harm and maim out of the game it might last 10 or 20 years longer.

If Barr was playing tackle football with family on T'giving, he would make the tackle without the pile driving [assuming he not an animal at his core]. The league can do something about it; but the biggest obstacle is the Union.

Though "management" I'm profoundly pro-union. You can bet my competitors would stick10 YOs in the coalmine if it meant they make an extra $10 per, so the unions are important. But, unions do the same thing management does. Instead of maximizing profit without morality, they try to maximize their popularity among the rank and file at all cost. So they fight for guys, for example, that get drunk on the job instead of rooting them out and taking pride in a real American work force that one can be proud of. It is the behavior of unions that is causing their own extinction.

The NLFPA are morons and are expediting their own extinction too. For example, the way players had to practice was probably abuse, so curbing this was a very worthy endeavor; but they took it too far and actually are harming their rank and file. The Owners school them every time. The current limits on practice increases injury and kills the ability of back-ups to shine when they get a chance. Owners don't care because each team is equally affected and they save money. Take Lane Taylor, based on his few snaps, they were able to extend him for $1.25M x 2, some complained 😂. Had Taylor been allowed to get hundreds of reps each week, when he got a chance to play in a few games, he'd wow us and the other team's scouts and GB wouldnt have been able to extend him for 2 x 1.25.

Here' how my NFLPA would work. We'd have our own disciplinary procedures. Zekey boy you want to grab some breast, we have a hearing and boot yer ass out [He can apply for reinstatement in a year]. Now Zeke is on his own to bargain against the NFL. If Zeke is exonerated, then the union fights for him.

Trevathen should have been disciplined by the Union for his illegal behavior that brought harm to another union member [There'd be a demerit system resulting in suspensions, fines and ultimately in expulsion]. Barr purposefully pile drove and hurt another union member. How does the Union not do something about this?

At the end of the day if the Union and NFL are on the same page about player conduct on and off the field; and reinforce it with the help of the union more than the owners and it will extend the life of the doomed NFL. The NLFPA talks of brotherhood; but somehow 100% disconnects this the idea of causing harm to one another tackling on the field. There'd be no need for GB to retaliate if 5 or 6 Bears/Vikings got it Trevathen/Barr's face, telling then they better stop trying to hurt their brother.

As it is right now the union fights for their guy no matter. Barr could have tackled Rodgers, took off Rodgers' helmut, grasped it by the facemask and whipped it around over and over caving in Rodgers' skull and the NFLPA will fight to limit Barr's suspension. The Union's view toward excessive hitting ratifies and encourages further excessive hitting and their expedited extinction.

Can't help think there's a family that could use that $10 much more.

Very few Packers fans would call such a shot dirty. Again, I think it was potentially illegal (he took two steps and then tackled him, but he didn't blow him up and it was borderline late) but definitely not dirty.

Two step rule does not apply to a QB or any ball carrier outside the pocket. I agree with you if that's Matthews 3/4 of the people bitching about this wouldn't say a word.

It's pro football ladies and gents not two hand touch and not powder puff. Considering all the hits Aaron's been taking it's a bloody miracle he's stayed healthy as is.

A majority of a season without Rodgers is going to make people appreciate more how many times he's saved our ass in the past.[twocents]

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
