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.
