Take me back in time: What was the NFL's policy on fines/suspensions in Superbowl I?

[ReMeDy]

I'm a young buck, so I need you guy's time machines. Take me back to Superbowl I. Would the Commissioner (whoever that was, I have no clue) say "yes," "no," or "maybe" to the following fines or suspensions:

1.) Player drops the f*** bomb.

 

2.) Player simply taunts another player.
 

3.) Players perform a group celebration after a TD.

 

4.) Player uses a "prop" after scoring a TD.

5.) Player dunks over the goal post.

 

6.) Player dunks over the goal post and knocks it over or off-balance.

7.) Player deliberately touches (albeit softly) an official.

 

8.) Player is caught disciplining a child.

 

9.) Player is caught disciplining a woman.

 

10.) Player is caught using performance enhancing drugs.

11.) An owner is caught simply doing drugs.

 

12.) Player is caught wearing an "unapproved" NFL shirt, hat, or other apparel  in a post-game interview or on Super Bowl media day.

You forgot helmet to helmet contact and blindside hits, among others I'm sure.

Probably the most famous NFL scandal of the 60's is the Paul Hornung, Alex Karras gambling scandal where they were both betting up to $500 on NFL games.  Both were suspended for a season.

As far as the original post, most of the the things involving celebration didn't happen especially on the Packers.

Lombardi would even fine guys for spiking the ball so they just did not do it.  His mantra was "Act like you've been there before" referring to the end zone.

Believe it or not OP, at the time you speak of there were 2 openly gay players in the NFL. 1 was admittedly gay and the other not so much, but it was about as big a secret as Rob Halford was.

Then there was Joe Namath, Thomas Henderson, and the list just goes on and * on. They said and did things that would make people's blood curdle. Players today are way less sleazy. They just don't get away with it when they screw up because of the media and the shameful need everybody has to call them out about every little thing.

Wow. Times change. Imagine that

 

Going through this list, you make it seem like They're all no big deal. There's plenty of reason to discipline someone for doing each one of these actions.

 

1. If you're referring to Kaepernick, I'm pretty sure we don't even know what was said, if there was anything said. Cussing at someone could constitute as taunting, or if it's a racially of sexually charged statement, then it would be a fine.

2. It's not usually "simply" taunting. Taunting is against the rules.

3. Players do this all of the time. No fines here?

4. Again, against the rules

5-6. Number five was made to prevent number six from happening.

7. Refer to number four

8. If you're referring to AP, then it's not just discipline, that would be abuse.

9. "disciplining" a woman? Really? 

10. PED's are banned throughout sports today. But even before this past week's new drug agreement, probably at least 75%(wild guess here) of the players took HGH.

11. Drugs are against the law, it reflects poorly on the league

12. It's all about the revenue. You don't want your sponsors mad.

 

And if this is referring to the NFL getting "soft", then there are plenty of other threads you can talk about it in. I guess I just don't understand the point of this.

At first I was going to make a dumb joke about taking her credit card away...then when I actually read the post I realized how insensative that comment was ment to be...just wow!

[BloodyChamp]

I actually think this was a more clever than usual spoof post...

[bap1331]

youd actually be surprised, there were penalties with alot of things that happen today. I was watching the documentary on NFL Network on Joe Greene and he got penalties like the ones of today but probably not as strict with the types of hits...
