Sean Payton and the Saints traded their souls to bring New Orleans a Super Bowl title

"traded their souls?" ... whatever ... the media was all over New Orleans' jocks when they won the SuperBowl post-Katrina, now they want to taint it? There will be no asterick.

More crap from the peanut gallery. All the more better when this team whips there buts this year. For now they can laugh.

Super double face palm Batman. They need to stop giving 20 year olds story assignments. I hope this knucklehead falls in some Cayenne pepper.

No deals were made with devil here. In the history of the NFL they are not the only team who has paid for performance. Yes I said performance because the commish & the media are the only ones claiming it was for hurting players thus the term "bounty". Hence forth why didn't the refes call penalties on flagrant hits & why didn't the commish fine more players during the seasons that this happened? I know the coaches acted improperly but I son't know if it was an attemp to "take out" players. I guess we will never know till someone close to the organization i.e. coaches or players admit to it at some point in the future.

For now our future is surviving the 2012 season and it can be done. It will be done!

As a fan I am royally pissed, but not pissed at Goodell. In politics its the cover up that makes things far worse than the crime, same thing in this case. It wasn't the bounty system itself that brought the hammer down but the fact that they lied about and continued to do it.

After the NFL has been taking hit after hit recently over concussions and their effects post career, you had a team that was essentially paying players to give other players concussions.

This is not good PR for the NFL and the simple fact they lied to the NFL about it and tried to cover it up made it even worse, Goodell had no choice but to make the Saints an example.

Generally I stay away from message boards but this whole thing has made me want to lick my wounds with fellow fans but seeing the vitriol and hatred that has been shown towards, in my opinion, the wrong individuals made me make this post.
