Ok. Then the NFL, no wait. The Government needs to step in and outlaw gambling on all sporting. All NFL players need to under-go mandatory lie detectors and if they ever KNEW of any kind of "Bounty, Money Pool, Player insentive program", they should all be suspended and fined.

This type of action that the Saints have infected the NFL with is so gross and morbid that the NFL should disolve the New Orleans Saints and remove any and all history of this team or it's players from the history books. Only the War Crimes commited by the Nazi Party are historically worst than what the Saints have done.

Come on Euph, you are starting to sound like Skip Blayless.

WTF are you talking about???

Nazi's really?

You do know that most if not all corporations have some kind of policy banning office pools right? Its to prevent employees from having issues or problems if and when things go bad. It protects the corporation. NFL is no different and they have the rule on the books.

You don't cover up a crime... that in itself is a crime. So Penn State should have kept raping boys "in the locker room". Oh wait they did... lol.

From Google on down, I've never worked for a company that banned office pools. Never. I'm sure some do, but I'm not sure the "Most is not all" is even close to accurate. I'm nearly 43 and have worked for 6 different corporations from small broadcast entities all the way to Google. If it were common to ban office pools I'm pretty sure I'd have seen it somewhere along the way. I haven't.

Check the employee hand book.

I am willing to be there is a clause in their. Everyone I worked for had them in their. But we also had Football pools, NCAA bracket pools.

And yes even the NFL has the policy.

Seriously? Dude Google required us to have mandatory sessions with lawyers about everything you can imagine. I can say I never searched through the documentation specifically for office pools. What I CAN say is that Google was (and still is) SO concerned about such things I doubt VERY SERIOUSLY they would allow management to promote office pools the way they do.

The deal was always this: You can't make a profit, meaning the person or group running the pool can't make any money off it. That's pretty much it.

Google Engineers have created tools to help people set up brackets and have promoted them on the 'official' Google blog.

I can only say that, based on what I know, this sort of thing would absolutely not be allowed if there were a specific policy against it. In other words, I think I'm willing to take your bet.

It's interesting because, technically, office pools aren't legal in California.

C'mon Man...

I'm not arguing with you Euph..... I got nothing but love for you brother.

It just seems as if this is a heart attack of an issue that this happened/happening and that the Saints invented it. Don't get me wrong, I do not give a stamp of approval on it. I think this started out as some "In House" fun and turned into a pile of steaming poo.

After this came out in the open, it explains why our defense wasn't "Tackling" anybody. They were too busy worrying about getting the "Hit of the Game" money. This whole thing got out of hand. From beginning to the end of it. SP should have said, "Hey, enough is enough. This is affecting you guys' performance to the point that you are hitting, trying to strip the ball instead of tackling and that men, is Bull Hockey in my book. CUT IT OUT OR YOU'RE OUT".

This couldn't have come out at a more wrong time. It's almost as if a soap opera writer wrote what is going on with this team right now.

I see your points don't get me wrong but when it comes to breaking morale issues and NFL rules things like that shouldn't be sweep under the rug and kept in the locker room. But things like having an argument because you took my parking spot... yeah that stays in the locker room.

FYI: You know sports betting is illegal in most states right?

True that... you just don't want to be the one who is holding the books when they come busting down your door though.
