    Griese: Bounties weren't necessary in '70s

    INDIANAPOLIS -- Former Miami Dolphins quarterback Bob Griese said there weren't bounties on quarterbacks in his day because back in the 1970s, knockout attempts were so routine they didn't merit extra payment.

    And back in the day those players could use the extra money. I remember one player near my home used to sell mobile homes off a lot in the off-season.

    how ironic. the game lacks so much physicality today that some need to be motivated by money just to lay a lick that's beyond the rules.
