League investigating reports of Packers bounty offers
Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- NFL officials are investigating whether Green Bay Packers players offered payments to teammates for achieving specific defensive goals.
League rules prohibit teams and players "from offering or accepting bonuses to a player for his or his team's performance against a particular team, a particular opposing player or players, or a particular group of an opposing team."
League spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed the investigation Monday.
ESPN reported that Packers defensive backs offered to pay the team's defensive linemen $500 each if they were able to hold Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson under 100 yards rushing two weeks ago, and another $500 for holding Carolina to under 60 yards rushing as a team on Sunday.

Is it just me or is this a ridiculous story? I understand that the league has a rule about not offering performance bonuses to players from other players, but maybe that's the problem. Players are often offered performance incentives when they sign their contracts, be it a yardage number or pro bowl selection or whatever. So why should it be illegal for teammates to provide financial incentive to other teammates?
In the business world, especially on the high end of the corporate level, performance bonuses are incredibly commonplace. And last time I checked, the NFL, for all its fanfare and sport, is still a business, and a pretty darn successful one at that. If you took the money out of the equation, and replaced it with a cheese sandwich, according to the NFL's rule it would still be against league policy.
Maybe someday I'll get a cheese sandwich...
