He made it pretty clear that the Saints did that too. Olin Kruetz could have done it too... But I only say that because he's Mr. "Oh so you're going to bench me because I suck?! Well then I quit!"

The only problem with these people is, it said someone brought this up in 2010 and then backed out. Then came back in 2011 with actual proof. So if this is true, it is somebody still on this team or atleast was on the team last year.

I am going to take Bush out of it because he has money.
Add Charles Grant as a possibility because his big gig was going out a date or two with NeNe Leakes-Big mouth and break out celeb from Real Houswives of Atlanta. Then CG got on the show a few times. He dated the criminal girl Marolowe Hapmton who is on the show. She really is a criminal with a rap sheet longer then your arm. She cut somebody too. You know ,cut, like with a sharpe edged piece.
CG doesn't have any looks. I doubt he has money, big money left.

Whoever the person is, he needs to be brought forward

. This is the NFL and not the FBI.

Don't. Remember he had no problem throwing us under the bus when they had that faking injury for a timeout investigation going. Money has nothing to do with this... it's not like they're getting paid to snitch.

I'm really torn about this.

Obviously, I think the idea of paying players to hurt other players is absolutely reprehensible.

That said, where were the illegal hits? MAYBE the hit on Favre. One illegal hit is going to cost our team a million dollars, draft picks, and possibly losses next season if we have to, effectively, suspend our entire defense and head coach for multiple games?!?

How many players have been injured playing against us? How many fines have been levied against our defense for illegal hits? Does the league honestly think we're the only team that has such a "program?" (Not saying that makes it right, just calling b.s. on throwing us to the wolves.)

I mean, I get why the league has to do SOMETHING, it just seems like they're out to freaking destroy us for something that doesn't even seem to have resulted in dirty play on the field.

Let's see what the investigation shows. However since Gregg Williams is already falling on his sword by way an apology, leads me to think it is very possible the bounties took place. If all of this is true, then we deserve whatever punishment we get. If I were Drew Brees I would not want to re-sign with the Saints. I am extremely disapointed and disgusted by it all. This places a stigma on the superbowl win.

Bulls t. That was one of the greastest Super Bowl wins of all time.

If it is illegal....whay aren't the refs paying attention to the infraction. If a complaint is made to the league and the refs do not follow up and call the penalties and PAY ATTENTION.....then this bounty crap argument is MOOT

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! MUCHO GRACIAS!! MERCI BON AMI!!!!

There are so many holes in this 50,000+ page 'novel' that the No Fun League has cooked up. If any of those hit were ILLEGAL, how come the "Striped Storm Troopers" did not call it right on the spot? Like SaintsFan1976 said earlier, SHOW US THE PROOF!!! If it's true, who was responsible for putting it out there? If the Saints really want to put out a bounty, they would have taken out the entire team, including the cheerleaders, the owner, the GM, the cat, the dog and the goldfish.

Mr. Goodell, if it's true like you say it is, show us the unadulterated proof. If not, please sit down and ESTEEFFYOO!!!

This whole thing is gonna blow over. Just like "spygate" or whatever the hell it was did for the patriots, and it WAS actually proven.

This is just ammo for the SAINTS to go out this year and win it all out right. This way there would be no doubts that the SAINTS are champions. !!!WHO DAT!!!! The NFL is turning into a bunch of sissy's if you ask me. If a player is afraid to make a hit it completely hinders them from giving it there all. Each player has the fine they are going to get in the back of there minds when they are on the field now. I wonder if the fans can protest the league rules on this? This mine as well be two hand touch football. Go out there, take your hits, and be a man about it. Isn't that what footbal was all about?
