That's gonna tarnish Sean Payton's reputation.

@BobGlauber Saints bounty system: players paid $1,500 for "knockout," $1,000 for a “cart-off,” per NFL investigation. Payments increased in playoffs

Quote:

@judybattista NFL says neither Sean Payton nor Mickey Loomis did anything to stop the bounties when they became aware of them.

Quote:

According to the NFL, the bounty pool totaled upwards of $50K at times w/ payments for "knock-out hits" w/ players and coaches contributing

this is gonna get ugly for them imo

I wonder how the NFL uncovered this info? Did some ex-player blab about it? Snitches get stitches.

Also, lol Saints

Not unprecedented. Seahawks did it a few years ago, and I think another team did too recently

wonder if this will cause brees to actually think about leaving since he'll be targetted for retribution

Luckily for the guys that hurt themselves going after the bounties, Payton handed them some Vicodin when they came back to the sideline. Consolation Candy.

i'd much rather have cutler throwing those 25 yard ropes to wallace, bennett and random rookie stud instead of to knox and hester.

If the bears can pull down a big name like Wallace then I don't mind them not bringing in a 1/2nd round draft pick.

Maybe we can blame it on Gregg Williams or something. Christ, this is indefensible.

LOL Saints. I wonder if the offense had to pay any money when they got knocked out, hurt, carted off or had a turnover. If so, the Niners costed Brees a lot.

No wonder he wants $23M next year. /trolling

but seriously..

Real ugly. I heard on the radio they have 50k pages worth of documentation on this. This is probably a league wide problem, but the saints are gonna take the hit.
