NFL Network analyst that called for bounty on Ezekiel Elliott snaps back at perceived unnecessary punishment

He's lashing right back out.

NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger was suspended six months without pay for saying the Philadelphia Eagles should have intentionally injured Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott. Needless to say, Baldinger was not pleased with the suspension.

"The punishment doesn't fit the crime," Baldinger told NJ.com.

Baldinger's comments weren't exactly a good idea, but a six-month suspension is severe, and there's a chance Baldinger won't even have a job when he returns.
