I find it hard to believe Mike Freeman wrote this!

It's time to take a close look at all of the evidence in the Saints bounty case. An extremely close look.

I took all of the exhibits turned over to the union – 16 in all – and gave them grades, Pete Prisco style.

My belief has long been that the league has the goods on players but is keeping the best stuff under wraps to protect the identities of informants. I still believe this.

And remember: the league got a great deal of its information from Gregg Williams and Williams has yet to refute anything the NFL has said about him.

But I also cannot argue with the Saints who believe the league hasn't just failed to make its case, it exaggerated it.

The grades are based solely on proof of a bounty system in which Saints players were paid to injure with ‘A' being explicit proof and ‘F' being no proof at all.

There were no A's.

There were lots of F's.
