NFLPA: League must release Saints information

NFL must release information on New Orleans Saints investigation, NFLPA's DeMaurice Smith says - ESPN

A lot of good quotes coming from D. Smith in this article. Nice to see him not rolling over for Goodell and letting him do whatever he wants.

"It's very hard to have a productive discussion about punishment when one side has kept, to itself, all the information,"

Something doesn't seem right about this. C'mon Goodell; let's see those 50,000 pages of evidence

Exactly ... enquiring minds want to know.

BEEN wanting to know...and Smith better get the 'evidence' soon. Roger has a history of destroying the evidence - see Sypgate...

Be careful what you wish for. Might not want some info to be released.

As of yet, they haven't turned over anything that we would consider to be direct evidence of player involvement in a 'pay-to-injure' scheme that we could consider for discipline.

They're looking for a pay to injure program, looks like Goodell is going to have a hard time showing "that" evidence

Looks like the player punishments may not be as harsh as we first thought

Nope. If they did it I want to know it. Honestly I think some unclear lines have been drawn. If I'm wrong then show me I'm wrong is what I'm saying. I can take it.

If what has been said so far is true, it's going to be interesting to see how they can PROVE any one player got paid anything in specific. What has been said is that they gave players envelopes with cash in it. This should be interesting to see how it plays out.

I love how all the fans of the other teams are saying Goodell doesnt have to show Smith, or anyone else ANYTHING. By that logic, "God"ell, can make up anything he wants and declare it the truth, without any type of retribution. If its all in there, then i want to see it. As a Saints fan, i can handle it good or bad. Why is the rest of the NFL nervous?

Fox8 just said that Payton, Vitt, Loomis, and the Saints organization are all appealing their seperate penalties
