This could all be for show just to throw us fans off of his scent and keep after Godell. A billion dollar lawsuit or 1 players reputation? Benson is in a crappy spot but we all know they are not millionaires for nothing. The dollar bill will win over 1 of his players reputation.

Yeah, I figured that you were spitballing, man... Freeh is definitely doing the investigation. It is for real, it's not for show. And like NuNu said, I think the REAL question that Benson really wants Freeh to answer for him is not only "what happened," but how did the negative story happen, how did we (Benson, the Saints organization) let it happen, and how did they let themselves get blindsided and railroaded by all this. Not just the bounty thing but all of it -- all the scandals, the ludicrous wiretapping allegations against Loomis, the lawsuits from ex employees, the disgruntled and fired ex employees running around with vendettas against the organization, the "reporting" on ESPN using a a web of anonymous sources which the team then had to scramble to refute...all this stuff really kinda blindsided the Saints organization, I think, during a period of great success for the team....with success comes new enemies, and new challenges of people trying to bring you down, or get a "piece" of the action....and if I was Benson I would be extremely pissed and want to figure out how to make sure it will NEVER happen again. |
