Where is your evidence??? Are you speculating? I haven't heard an audio or seen a video yet with money offered up or cart off comments made. In the United States of America, you are innocent until PROVEN guilty.......unless Obama changed that too.

AGAIN, GOODELL has OFFICIALLY stated they have HARD evidence. That is MY evidence, I don't work in the industry, so how can I present you with those?

Why would GOODELL risk his career/reputation for some personal vendetta for something w/ NO evidence?

Goodell has hard evidence that the system was in place. Once again, you can't seem to distinguish between an idea and the action actually taking place. You've made statements in this thread that GW PAID players for intentionally injuring opposing players. I've watched every single Saints game with GW as our DC and so please tell me who was carted off or knocked out of the game by an illegal hit. You can't because there isn't one.

No, Gregg Williams was offering to pay to injure. There is no proof that any player fell for the idiot's demands and actually followed through. Nobody would justify that. What we are defending is that we refuse to believe that our players actually did what Williams wanted. And how are the players guilty? There has been no proof that any of them actually tried to injure, not simply hurt, an opponent for pay.

I agree that Williams is scum, but just because players were sitting in the room listening to the moron doesn't mean they bought int ohis delusions.

He has NEVER stated he had any HARD evidence on players. In fact, after he gave the expanded reports to the NFLPA De Smith said that there was nothing in the reports that would justify any punishment upon players.

It it because he suggested to the players to hurt someone, or is it because there was money involved?

If I punch you dead in your face because your ex-best friend told me to do it, does it really matter whether or not I got paid?

The whole effing idea behind football - real football, not the kind the league is morphing into before our very eyes - is to knock the holy ever loving crap out of the other guy. This is how your guy knocked our guy out last season. Should it matter that a coach did or didn't tell your guy to do it?

It's not cheating. All anybody here wants is fair play. Plenty of players have stated this is common place. Hell man (it is man isn't it), we've been saying all along this has nothing to do with safety or even morality as you are thinking. It's about money. That's it. People are staring to see that now. Why don't you join the team and come on in for the big win?

Dumbass...

not once did i hear money for hits.

i heard a coach losing it old school style. no place for that in today's nfl.

now to the game tape. sorry i did find players doing as ordered.

looks like in a court of law williams is guilty of trying to in site a riot. he failed.

no i want to here the niners tape

I understand that some of what Wiilams said was metaphoric in content & not meant to be taken literally. I'm just glad he is gone. Let's keep looking forward.

THANK YOU! That's the point I've been trying to make lately. If I tell my buddy "Hey, go beat that guy up and I'll give you $100" and he doesn't do it... Then by the NFL's logic my buddy is guilty because I offered money for him to do it. This is completely absurd and I'm really hoping we'll see some common sense from der Fuhrer when it comes to player punishment.

My god, this is how i feel right now
