You realise that he wasn't in anyway justifying or saying the bounties weren't a bad thing right? That post was solely about whether they had any significant effect on the outcome of that game and was not at all immaterial in that sense.
The only really malicious hit in the whole game was (I think) on the first interception when he was hit high/low and he was hit after the ball was thrown there anyway. The injury it caused might have made a slight effect on Favre's thoughts about running on the last int but it's not as though Favre was known for playing it safe and never taking risks.
I think everyone gets that it was a bad thing and Saints are going to get the book thrown at them. I'm sure everyone also understands that the intentions behind any marginal hit made by any player under Williams over the period is going to be questioned and justifiably so. It doesn't mean it's not pretty lol to say that the bounties won the Saints the super bowl.
