His true essence has been revealed and he knows it. Any credibility he thought he had is gone, he's reduced to the only thing he really knows, troll and snipe. In other words, typical Saints troll, albeit a cowardly one.

Dave Archer was also saying on 790 this week that even if/when the Brees deal gets done, they will be way over the cap. Mike Bell of course made a big deal about it too. Laughning that they'll have to cut people because of Brees greediness. And that this wouldn't go over well in the locker room. Mike Bell is a clown, but he's sorta right. Archer actually agreed with him too.

Quote:But the Saints’ cap situation has changed dramatically. They were only $2.1 million under the cap before signing Brees and Toon, but Brees is the key figure here. Although he got a five-year, $100 million contract, Brees actually helped the 2012 cap situation. Instead of counting for more than $16 million as the franchise player, Brees now counts $10.4 million against this year’s cap.

That puts the Saints right at $8 million under the cap. The Saints also would free up an additional $4.95 million for this year if the season-long suspension for linebacker Jonathan Vilma is upheld.

Saints' Drew Brees files affidavit in support of Jonathan Vilma
The affidavit is entered as evidence for Vilma's motion to dismiss the linebacker's 2012 suspension for alleged involvement in a program offering bonuses to players who injure opponents.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees defended teammate Jonathan Vilma in a court document filed Saturday to support Vilma's fight against the NFL over his season-long suspension.

The affidavit was entered in federal court in New Orleans as evidence for Vilma's motion to dismiss the 2012 suspension imposed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, for the linebacker's alleged involvement in a program offering bonuses to players who injure opponents. Vilma has sued Goodell, claiming defamation.

Brees, who signed a five-year, $100-million contract this month to stay with the Saints, also swears that he wasn't aware of any bounty program.

"I have no knowledge of a pay to injure program existing, and yet to personally see any evidence that would substantiate these allegations," Brees says in the affidavit. "In my four years as a teammate with Jonathan, I have found that he is a man of integrity who passionately plays the game of football within the frameworks of the rules and has respect for his opponents."

Brees also praises Vilma's leadership role on the team and his importance to the community. Brees says Vilma has been dedicated to helping the city recover from Hurricane Katrina and has started a foundation to build schools in Haiti.

Vilma and Saints coach Sean Payton have been suspended for the 2012 season for their roles in the bounty program the NFL says went on for three seasons.

Vilma was scheduled to have a hearing on his motion Thursday. The league wants the case dismissed because the collective bargaining agreement reached last August to end the lockout gives the commissioner the authority to punish players for "conduct detrimental" to the NFL. TheNFL Players Assn.has sued the league, claiming Goodell violated the league's labor agreement by showing he had predetermined the guilt of players punished in the bounty probe before serving as the arbitrator for their June 18 appeal hearing.

So congress and the DOJ are going to waste millions of tax payer dollars in four years by unsuccessfully prosecuting Brees for perjury pretty much.

Well, if Brees say he knew nothing about a bounty system i'm sure he is telling the truth. He plays offense so he probably doesn't know most of the defensive players' names.

Wait, he didn't mention a "bounty" or a "pay for performance" program. He called it " I have no knowledge of a pay to injure program existing". Hmmmm.

My thoughts exactly... Brees drafted this language or his attorney? Wink

Thanks, Rad. I have been scarce because we are undergoing a huge upgrade at one of my two positions. I'll try to drop by more often, but until August is over I will remain somewhat scarce.
