Also concussions and injuries are even more in the forefront than before..

im not sure what the exact penalty will be, and im sure there are other teams doing it, but in my mind it should cost some management/coaches their jobs.. does the nfl have a due clause rule or whatever the rule is that they slapped tressel with? like a team has to jump through a ton of hoops before signing a coach/management position.. i think that should be applied to williams definitely and possibly peyton/saints gm if indeed they did know about it and ignored it..

agree

it's absolutely indefensible for coaches and front office to be involved in these type of things. it's actually disgusting.

So I guess we are in the market for a new DC.

The only saving grace for the saints organisation in this is that the owner told them to get rid of this bounty system when he found out about it. In that it makes it look like atleast the whole organisation isnt full of thugs

This is about coaches and a front office that was complicit in scheme whose intent was to deliberately injure players

nothing about the superbowl run was fraudulent, and anyone who suggests so is out of their mind.

suspend payton for a few games, suspend vilma, take a few picks away. seems fair to me.

it's a shame because Brees is not 28 anymore.

I agree with you here. The Saints need to be punished in some sort of way. And it's sickening to me to think Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis reportedly did nothing to stop the situation while reportedly knowing about it.

This. I'm sorry, but that hit was clean. Any QB in the league will get lit up a lot if he goes to make a tackle after throwing an INT. It's the defense's free shot at the QB, given all of the rules in place when rushing the QB. Any defender in the league would have taken that shot on Warner. Maybe it contributed to ending his career, but honestly, if he wants his long-term health, he should have retired before this, given his history of concussions. Concussions are srs biz.

This. Thankfully, Benson attempted to do the right thing. You can only lead a horse to water.

Also, everyone hoping this causes Brees to not re-sign with the Saints or wishing injury upon him are just haters. Haters gonna hate.

Sigh. We just need to cut Vilma already. He was already in a decline imo.

Would love to know what the support from his true fans was like. "Yo Vilma way to put a bounty on favre's head, That **** is legit!!"

Lol, it was obviously support for the Saints rather than that.

Some of the things people are saying to him on twitter are definitely uncalled for. It's pretty sad and ridiculous. Half are probably from Minnesota anyways :P

But still, I would rather have seen him just stay quiet about the situation for right now, as I'm sure he was instructed to do.

lolvilma, what a tool.

Apparently there's an email trail between payton and reggie bush's felon ex-marketer detailing the system and that felon also put up money

The NFL memo also states there was a bounty paper trail. Ornstein put details of the bounty system in an e-mail to Payton, according to the NFL memo. In that e-mail, Ornstein committed $5,000 towards yet another bounty.

who dat?!?!

iamreo · 03-02-2012, 11:42 PM

I absolutely love it, unless the play results in a penalty(roughing the passer).

JayA · 03-02-2012, 11:48 PM

May very well be true, but I still would like to see the story broken somewhere else as well.

The NFL should seriously do an investigation into all other 31 teams imo.
