Is it just a coincidence, or is this threat from the NFL Commisioner Rodger Goodell a coordinated attack warning against the Redskins taking further legal action against cap penalties?
When articles about the Redskins former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams started coming out weeks ago. It was widely reported that the Redskins had been cleared. However after the Redskins joined the Cowboys in arbitration against the league suddenly Goodell is investigating the Redskins again. Goodell should start his investigation by calling up his former boss Paul Tagliabue who was in attendance for the infamous Bounty Bowl II Dec 10 1989. This was the second meeting between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles in 1989. In the first Bounty Bowl the Eagles put a 200 dollar bounty on Cowboys kicker former Eagle Luis Zendejas. In that game which Zendejas left with a concussion Cowboys lost 27-0. The Eagles head coach who implemented this bounty system hired Gregg Williams as his defensive coordinator in 1990. So why stop at punishing the Redskins? Why not punish the Eagles and the NFL Commissioner should punish itself as well since the NFL has been aware of this for over twenty years. CBS Sports hyped the game even televising wanted posters for players with
bounties listed.
