did Brees know about the bounties?

The Dude · 03-04-2012, 01:36 PM

Just wondering. I can't see that flying with him.

Yes, being the team leader he'd have to.

Rugby Saint II · 03-04-2012, 02:10 PM

Apparently everyone knew.

The question is who contributed and how much. That would be a story if one guy contributed a whole lot more than most...and wasn't even eligible to collect. I'm not saying that is the case.

Well, at least GW apparently did contribute money into the pool, and naturally he couldn't collect any rewards from it.

As I have understood it, that is why the whole thing violates the salary laws of the NFL - i.e. money being put into the pool by a party outside of the players and on the payroll of the Saints.

Way too many people think Brees is a perfect angel.

And a few here are demonizing him.

I sure many players knew about it. This is football, and I'm sure this isn't the only "illegal" thing that has happened... I believe a lot of things happen at every franchise.

Why is noone talking about Gregg Williams punishment in all this. Imo he should have to take the brunt of the backlash. Hopefully one reason we didnt try to retain him was because of this
