Mike Ornstein's association with New Orleans Saints and bounty scandal a perplexing situation

Among the 18,000 documents league investigators examined is an email from Ornstein to Saints' coaches last season in which he pledged money for a knockout blow to Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers before the NFL kickoff game, according to a source familiar with the situation.

That same source insists Ornstein sent the message in jest. Payton reportedly told NFL investigators last week he did not read the email.

Whether the NFL buys either claim remains to be seen. This isn't a court of law. The league can and will rule on its own volition.

I have put up with a lot of shit here but I am making nothing up. This was reported two frickin' months ago!!!

Two months ago before any of you even knew about the email it was already identified as "in jest"! This isn't anything new or anything I made up.

Two months ago Sean Payton TOLD the league when he first talked to them that he had never read the email ... just as I said!!

Some of you claim to know so much about what is going on but are so misinformed about the facts.

Published by whom? And who supposedly knows this alleged source close to the situation? And who is this "source"?

Sounds like some made up BS by another biased NO media lemming. Funny there's not been one mention on ESPN or anywhere else of some source who has this info.

For all we know, it could have just been one of the attorneys rep'ing Payton who is "the source". And if it's just some lackey of that sort, then it has no credibility because they will say anything for their client or friend.

Nobody has actually heard Payton say he never read the email and that it was an ongoing joke. All you've quote is 3rd or 4th hand grapevine conjecture.
