RE: Saints Bounty Thread

You realize Yahoo's story is pieced together from leaked reports, and yet still claim its inconsistencies somehow tarnish Goodell. You really do like having it both ways. Sorry, but you are completely wrong. The supposed "ledger" does not have anything to do with bounties being placed. It supposedly lists actions that that occurred in specific games and a dollar amount associated with those actions. It is said to include three instances of "cartoffs" in one game. It was originally leaked that it was the 2009 game against Buffalo, but when Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk wrote that the Bills game that year had four injuries to opposing players and only one was an offensive player, a lineman, Yahoo quickly pulled the story and changed the game to the October 2009 game against Carolina. But, that game had only one injury to an opposing player, linebacker Thomas Davis, and also would make no sense as applied to the supposed ledger. And are wrong on another count, the players were suspended for participating in and running a bounty system that targeted specific players for injury and those players included Warner, Favre, Rodgers and Newton. THAT is why they were suspended. Had it been the simple pay for performance deal alone they would have received a slap on the wrist. Every player and coach has denied that bounties were ever placed on or collected for injuries to specified players as they are accused. Saints Fan Since 1967
