Why didn't the Falcons leaders stop the pool they had in 2007? These type of pools have always been commonplace in NFL locker rooms. The players saw nothing wrong with it.

If you say so, y'all are not totally innocent in this. Whatever pool, if any, the Falcons may have had in 2007 wasn't stopped because we weren't told to by the commish. The big, bad wolf....the egotistical commish gave y'all a chance to stop whatever it is y'all were doing and y'all didn't. Plain and simple. Everybody in the NFL knows that a performance pool is against the rules. And you know that, so no other teams situation is the same as the saints. The reason why is because although everybody may have had a performance pool, nobody had the luxury of being told to stop before being punished. That is why y'all should have stopped. Don't be so naive to think they didn't know there was something wrong with it.

Also if the Falcons had a performance pool in 2007, it for damn sure didn't work.
