Trust me, if the Falcons were doing this for money, I would want whoever started it to be gone, I would want the people who knew about it but didn't do anything to stop it to be gone, and I would want whoever was involved to be gone. I don't condone stuff like that.

BTW, what William Moore meant by blowing him up was putting hits on him to get him distracted mentally. Nothing more. If you were playing a game of football and the other team was knocking the hell out of you every play, would they not be in your head for the rest of the game?

I don't care what William Moore said. It doesn't bother me. My point is your defense of him is the same that we use for our players and coaches. It's just locker room rhetoric. It's all about firing each other up, and is not meant literally. I mean, really, did the Saints actually "kill the head"? Of course not.

But no money is mentioned during that speech. It was a lame attempt to demonize the Saints. No evidence exists of a bounty program, that anyone has seen. We have loads of hearsay, but incredibly few injuries considering how specific this so called "ledger" was about who the saints supposedly targeted. This ledger has never been made public.

I respectfully disagree with the post above me saying that we deserved at least some punishment. I agree that the penalties were too severe, but I would take it a step further and say there has been no just cause for any kind of punishment. Not when they can't present anything they're purporting as evidence. I just will never understand what is so hard about showing us what they have, if they really have it.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
