This in itself is great misunderstanding in the press. There never was 50,000 pages of actual evidence. The league requested and was given access to the Saints' emails which are hosted on the league's server. There were 18,000 emails (documents) that consisted of 50,000 printed pages. The vast majority had absolutely no relevance to any subject under investigation. This is where they found the single email from Ornstein which referred to a bounty in the postscript. For the record, Payton has stated that he had never read the email and Ornstein has "claimed he was kidding about the monetary pledge".
