Scott Fujita “disappointed with the NFL” over suspension

WhoDat!656 · 05-07-2012, 05:52 PM

In his first statement since he was suspended for three games in the NFL’s investigation of the Saints’ bounty program, Browns linebacker Scott Fujita denied contributing money for bounties and insisted that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was wrong to suspend him.

“I disagree wholeheartedly with the discipline imposed,” Fujita wrote in a comment posted on his website. “I’ve yet to hear the specifics of any allegation against me, nor have I seen any evidence that supports what the NFL alleges in its press release. I look forward to the opportunity to confront what evidence they claim to have in the appropriate forum. Until then, I stand by my previous comments. I have never contributed money to any so-called ‘bounty’ pool, and any statements to the contrary are false. To say I’m disappointed with the League would be a huge understatement. Any further questions can be directed to my union.”

... that's what it all boils down to, evidence ... can't suspend guys on rumour & speculation.

I was hoping he'd get more.

He mad! I also love the ballsy "Any further questions can be directed to my union" comment. That is totally a gloves-are-off statement there. Like he's telling Goodell, you picked the wrong time and place to mess with an executive committee member of the NFLPA.
