The Stolen Season

Wilde18 · 01-01-2013, 12:26 PM

I felt about like the season was stolen too. But as far as I heard Payton admitted that there had been bounty payments? If so, it was annoying that we got cought. But I never saw an article stating SP's commitment. And if he did, what was the reason?

I am positive that after this stolen season our black and gold comes back stronger, like the coach will do too. No one can stop us in 2013!!!

No, he never said ANY such thing... He took full responsibility for the WHOLE THING, the scandal, as head coach, and he apologized for "what happened on his watch".... and he apologized to Goodell, Benson and the fans...but in a very careful statement that not a lot of people read, he NEVER once admitted to any bounty payments, to any bounty program, to Vilma's $50,000 on the table, or anything even close to admitting anything of what allegations Goodell was describing....just that he was guilty of "disrespecting the shield" of Goodell and the NFL....in truth there wasn't anything else he could really admit to with a clean conscience. But being the one in charge, the top person, he took responsibility for that, and owned up to it, that it was "on him." And a lot of media don't pay attention to what he said, and even some people in Saints-land don't give him any credit for that.
