That said, if you expect me to accept Steelers getting fined and suspended for such things, yet turn a blind eye to other teams rewarding players for trying to injure, you're a fool.

There is a difference between hard-hitting, and trying to injure. While every player may be happy to hurt the opposing quarterback, it is the job of the league not to promote such activity. You cannot justify bounties no matter how you try.

The league cannot bang the drum (even if it's just for show and to curtail future lawsuits) about player safety and also ignore this.

Is this the biggest story in the history of the league? No. Is it surprising? No. Does it need to be dealt with? Absolutely.
