Thank you! I made that point in another thread. It doesn't matter whether players were successful or not in knocking players out of the game... all that matters is that the people in charge are admitting that it was in place.

SHOW ME where it was documented that player were incentivized to hurt other players.

I sure as heck didn't see it on video...

Otherwise, it's a motivating tactic made by the DC to get his players in the game.

i mean, My God - it's not like we had the defensive stats to back it up..

EXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXACTLY!!

I'd target the QB everygame without a Bounty. Difference between a legal hard hit and illegal dirty hit. I'd pay a "bounty" for a legal hard hit everytime.

This is a witch hunt in an otherwise boring offseason.

Why else do you think this is the first we've heard of it...?

Nice and shiny... not tainted at all.

I'm thinking charles grant is the rat. But even Warner said none of the hits on him were illegal.

I'm thinking Gregg Williams is one of the rats. Another is probably Bobby McCray... one of the offenders in question for his questionable hit on Favre. I remember it was weird that we didn't resign him after that season. Bitter perhaps?

I'd say the rat is one of the following: Shockey, Alex Brown, Bobby McCray, Anthony Hargrove, Reggie Bush, Jonathan Goodwin, Olin Kruetz.

I like the way you think. I've been talking about McCray as one of the snitches. Reggie is absolutely a possibility. Do you guys remember when he threw us under the bus earlier last season about the Giants faking injuries to slow down the other team's no-huddle offense? 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!"
