Did anyone else hear
 

I apologize if this has already come up. But the other day I was talking with someone who said that at the end of the tape Sean Pamphilon released, Greg Williams was quoted as saying something to the effect of playing within the confines of the rules. In other words, test the injuries, test their will, knock the **** out of them, but don't break the rules.

If this is true, it just further reiterates how media sensationalism is absolutely out of control. Why on earth wouldn't they play all of the tape, unless they wanted to CREATE chaos and circus-like activity around the entire bounty gate thing.

I know, I know. I am sick of talking about it too. Just thought I'd throw this in the mix, because if it's true, it pisses me off even more than I already am!

I heard about this a couple days ago and from everything I can gather, it is absolutely true. And your suspicion is correct, it is all about creating a mess out of nothing by the media. They seem to work hand in hand with Roger.

But we'll keep hearing people say we're delusional, no matter how much evidence comes out against the NFL's claims. People can call us conspiracy theorists all they want, but isn't it strange how more information has come out in FAVOR of the Saints, then there has been against us?

It never was as serious at the Media wanted you to believe, and I believe Goodell was swayed in his decisions listening to all the "media".

It all ties in with Goodell being the judge, jury, executioner... The NFL needs a "board" to hear cases and appeals, instead of one man making a rash decision and then having to stick with it to save embarrassment

Yes, the released tape was edited, or more specifically, cut off. It's easier to tell half the story and scream oh my god than it is to tell the whole truth.
Of course, it never should have been released anyway...

Hmmm, I'm starting to think Rodger the dodger Goodell is part of the Illuminati.

Bountygate looks like manmade global warming. It's an unproven theory based on assumptions driven by an agenda. The more that time goes on and all the facts get out, the more it resembles a sham. This too, will be covered up for a while, until the progression of the pussification of the NFL backfires, or the league destroys itself. Another league will start up with the original rules in place, thereby pleasing most football fans, who will watch it, and abandon the NFL, when it transforms into a more intense version of flag football.

Yes it was edited. So it begs to question why this idiot released an edited version. Of course the obvious answer is he's looking to make bank on it. And all at the expense of Gleason. There is a special place in hell for somebody who would do that.

We lost the appeal. End of story.

An appeal that was probably already lost before it was even heard? Yeah FF....
Goodell would never come out, and admit he made a mistake. EVER. It wouldn't matter if something came out, to disprove everything in this case, Goodell wouldn't hear it, nor acknowledge it. I'm a firm believer that this was a set up, all along. For what reason, I'm not sure.

The appeals are over, so even IF new evidence came out it wouldn't matter. The NFL & Saints have moved on to the draft, we as fans need to do the same.

The story is not over. As soon as one of the Saints players is suspended, this whole mess will wind up in court. Then all the facts will come out. And when Sir Roger is forced by the courts to turn all the documents over to NFLPA lawyers, allot of people in the media and allot of players that have been trashing the Saints will be cleaning egg off their faces for the next 10 years. And it will be their reputations that's tarnished for ever. WHO DAT!!!

New WHO DAT motto - Your screams are our bounty, your blood is our reward. Be afraid, very,very afraid, because the New Orleans Saints and the WHO DAT Nation is coming to your town, your stadium. You and your team are our SCAPEGOATS and we are thirsty for your blood and screams!!!

The prosecution never released that which would help the defense .
For example the NFL would have looked at & graded every tackle in the last 3 years. But did they release the results. No. Why show that which would help the Saints cause?

Yeah, I agree. I understand that some people want to move on and that's fine, but this isn't over. There are several holes, some huge, in the NFL's case against us. We wouldn't be doing our job as fans if we didn't continue to demand the truth and justice. Regardless of what the Saints might have done, it has become more than clear to me that much of the accusations have been sensationalism. Until Goodell is forced to acknowledge this, I'm going to have a hard time forgetting about it, even though I wish I could. This WILL go to court, I just don't see how it couldn't. So I don't think the initial appeal meant anything.
