Well with the exception of Scott Fujita, EVERY person punished in this whole bounty thing had a "past" of some kind or other...Suddenly we go down from Goodell's initial "24-27 Saints players extensively participated" to JUST the particular players and coaches who had past issues or had caused past PR problems for the league with lawsuits or off-field issues...if you want to buy into that, without any proof being shown, then it's okay with me, but we were led to believe the bounty scandal was this MASSIVE team-wide thing and now it turns out it's maybe not so MASSIVE and it's almost completely limited to guys the league already had PR or legal headaches from, and probably wants to be rid of...it's all very convenient.

PS Fujita also said that virtually "every team he'd ever been on" had pay-for-performance of some kind, and he had paid out "a lot of money over the years" (which means on teams other than the Saints). So make of that what you will.
