Sapp wouldn't have called out another Miami the U boy unless he knew what was up. Shockey's the snitch, I believe it.

I thought it was Shockey when the news first broke

Thats how he repays the team he won a Super Bowl with. Dam

The NFL does have the Whistle Blower Protection Act of 1989 to consider before identifying it's sources ... all along I assumed it was Greg Williams feeling the heat from the investigation, so he rolled ... being suspended "indefinitely" instead of more appropriately "for life" leads me to believe he is still at the bottom of this.

Does it really matter? They had the chance to stop this with the first warning and didn't. That's the nail, no matter who leaked it.

Who cares who the snitch was, they had a chance to stop it and didn't, then they lied to the commish, from Duncan he thought there were multiple snitches so we might never know who fessed up

Well I care, and so do probably all the players around the league, who might potentially have to share a locker room with the guy - if he/they in fact are players.

Shockey hits back at Sapp over accusation in Saints bounty case | ProFootballTalk

Former Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey has come forward publicly to defend himself after former Buccaneers defensive tackle Warren Sapp said that Shockey was a “snitch” who informed the league office about the Saints bounty case.

Sapp first said on Twitter, and then repeated on NFL Network, that he had been told that Shockey was the person who blew the whistle on Gregg Williams’ bounty program. When we first mentioned the issue we didn’t include Shockey’s name because it seemed unfair to Shockey to name him based on what appeared to be a flimsy accusation from Sapp. But now Shockey has decided he wants to counter Sapp’s accusation publicly.

On Twitter today, Shockey posted what appeared to be text messages between himself and Saints coach Sean Payton, including one from Payton that said, “I know you had nothing to do with that.”

Shockey also told Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports that Sapp’s accusation was false and totally inexcusable.

“It’s reckless, it’s careless, it’s hurtful to me and the great time I had with the Saints,” Shockey said. “Sean Payton is a father figure to me. I would never do that to him or to the Saints.”

One surprising aspect of Sapp’s accusation is that NFL Network aired it even though Sapp didn’t name his source and acknowledged that he hadn’t asked the league office if his source was correct. There’s also the reality — apparently lost on both Sapp and Shockey — that bounties are against NFL rules, and therefore the person who reported the Saints’ bounties to the league office is a whistleblower, not a snitch.

If Shockey had refused to dignify Sapp’s comments with a response, he would have been well within his rights. But Shockey decided to respond strongly to Sapp. NFL Network should let its viewers know whether it stands by the information Sapp put on the air.

I'm no one.
Who are you?
