Whitlock: Thursday NFL far worse than bounties
I know some of you here are not exactly huge Whitlock fans, but read it anyway. 
http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/sports-nfl/20120914/Whitlock-Thursday-NFL-Worse-Than-Bounties/
What is more dangerous — a symbolic, thousand-dollar bounty system or the Baltimore Ravens opening the season playing four NFL games in 17 days?...
It’s going to take death, a serious injury or a lawsuit to stop the NFL’s desire to televise live games seven days a week, six months a year. If a team can play four games in 17 days, why can’t teams play an 18-game regular season?
But Gregg Williams is evil because he instructed his defensive players to attack the head. Really? What’s more dangerous, deeds or tough talk, a brutal schedule or a bounty system that rewards you for what you were going to do anyway?
The vilification of the Saints and Goodell’s hypocrisy infuriate me. Thursday night football endangers the health of far more NFL players than some flimsy bounty system Vilma participated in.

Does he have an enormous Adam's apple? Has he committed voter fraud?
