To all the selfrighteous other teams and their fans, I quote," THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS" all you testifiers and persecutors you will have to account for the things you do.

The way I read that statement, is that the ex-players are trying to minimize and/or discredit the NFL's show of force against the Saints, since the NFL has taken the "I am SHOCKED!" stance on the entire Saints situation, trying to portray the Saints as rogues in the league, rather than standard fare since the beginning of football.

Enjoy the last of the NFL. You re watching it's demise. We don't know it yet, but this game is finished.

There's serious talk of eliminating the kickoff from games now.

Next: The forward pass!

I like that statement.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said any allegation that the league intentionally sought to mislead players is meritless.

''It stands in contrast to the league's actions to better protect players since Congress came down on our butts in 2009 and advance the science and medical understanding of the management and treatment of concussions,'' he said.
Fixed that one for you, NFL spokesblowhard.

Yep......that about sums it up. I can't get over how much money these guys make, but are broke 2-5 years after they retire & filing for bankruptcy. Look at Brunell, T.O., & Warren Sapp!
