Says "he paid money into the bounty system".

Euphoria · 03-07-2012, 08:34 AM

I find it very hard to believe Darren Sharper saying he knew NOTHING about it.

I think the reason Sharper denies it is because the money he collected for all those INT"s. Hello IRS.

Of course he does but the code is to not say anything. That's a true man right there your not suppose to talk about it outside the locker room.

Well sharper did say now, that a couple of 100 here and there for ints. Fumbles etc. Not just to put someone out of a game.

True, so what the NFL should do now iis go after all the players who are coming out and say "They have done the same thing, put money up for ints, etc". Because it is illegal right they have broken rules. So how do you fix this? It's not right to throw a hammer at them cause it's the past. Well this BS about the play off games is the past too. Then the whole NFL system is illegal.

Well they start by hammering the ones that took it to far... Seems to be Greg Williams and the teams he was involved with.

Then anyone who took part in it and didn't say they have a morale issue with it.

Once the smoke clears you start enforcing the policy and point out that all pools are illegal by the NFL rule and simply sweep what everyone was doing under the rug. Punish people for going forward for there so called innocent incentive programs form ints and fumbles.

The tough and sad part is that it happens to be the Saints and how it got way out of hand.

Darren Sharper -

"I don't like the term "bounty" being used about the program that we had," Sharper said."Was it overseen and controlled by the coaching staff? Yes, it was.
But this is something that the players came up with. We wanted to give guys an extra motivation, an extra reward of making big plays in big games. And those big plays included sacks, interceptions, scoring touchdowns on defense...things we did throughout my time there that allowed us to win in the fashion that we won."

Theformer Saints star pointedly said that there was never a "cash for injuries" system that is being described in the media.

"In no way...did we come into the room before the game, and say, 'if a guy hurts this player, their best player...we're going to reward that guy for doing that.'

At no time was that said during any of the meetings that I was a part of in the New Orleans Saints organization."

The thing you have got to hand to Sharper is that he wasn't throwing the team under the bus.

That earns him a little respect in my book. What happens in the locker room, stays in the locker room.

Not when its illegal or wrong.

You have a responsibility to the game and to everyone who plays the game. They were even warned to stop it and they did not.
