He wouldn't mention any other players that he knows participated (except for Bill Romanowski) in pay for injury bounties, but he said there were a ton.

He said it was rampant in his day and he is absolutely positive it was just as rampant up until the recent crackdown.

So this pretty much shoots down Guido's contention that pay for injury bounties simply don't exist and that he doesn't at all believe any player anywhere would ever pay for someone else to be injured.

Not to worry. It will be easy for Guido to switch to the "everyone does it and the commish is only picking on the Saints" bandwagon.

As for me, I have no respect for Chris Carter as a commentator or reporter and I certainly don't believe anything he says without independent corroboration. An obvious follow up which no one has asked him yet to my knowledge is what bounty payouts, if any, he actually made.
