The NFL asked Payton back in 2010 if he knew anything about the bounties when they first told the Saints to stop it. Payton said he didn't know anything about them and supposedly tried to cover it all up. As did Loomis, Vitt, and Williams

All I ever got from reading the stuff was that Goodell wasn't satisfied that Sean did enough to stop the program.

C'mon man... enough. Sean lied his ass off for a long time and denied the bounty program. Then he admitted that he lied.

I don't think so. I think he admitted to being ultimately responsible.

I don't think that Payton ever admitted to lying; Goodell supposedly found evidence in all the paperwork that linked Payton to the bounties.

Payton taking responsibility as the head coach is not the same thing as admitting to lying

I've got to admit that Chris makes what could be a valid point and most likely is. It was probably an escalation of one little white lie to cover another little white lie. Now, has it been blown out of proportion? Heck yes. Did Sean Payton flat out lie to the commissioner? I don't doubt it. After reading his book it's apparent that he has an ego and pushes the envelop......some would even consider him arrogant.
Personally, I love him and have some of the same tendencies.
He was aware without a doubt. This belongs squarely on Gregg Williams shoulders. Payton didn't throw his players and coaches under the bus when this came back up. The facts will come out.

You're splitting hairs here guys. He said they would end the bounty program and they didn't. Then he admitted that to Goodell. Hasn't it already been made pretty clear that Payton and Loomis lied to Benson. Let it go.
