Like some people say "Let's be a realist." so let the best lawyers win. The truth has nothing to do with this adversarial contest. Whoever loses is guilty.

" In the ledger, payments of $1,000 for cart-offs (a hit that resulted in a player being helped off the field), $400 for whacks (hard hits) and $100 deductions for mental errors were kept track of for each player.
Two specific entries for the 2009 season were shown during one meeting. In a game at Buffalo on Sept. 27, 2009, there were three $1,000 awards. In a game against the New York Giants on Oct. 18, there was a $1,000 bounty awarded for one cart-off. [Ed note: In that Giants game, tackle Kareem McKenzie was taken off on a cart with a strained groin, which hardly seems like it should qualify.]
There was also a notation that after one game an opposing player who had been carted off was placed on injured reserve. The notation of the player on IR included an exclamation mark."
There you go Guido, proof.

Not only that, but the players (including Brees) and NFLPA were actually wanting Sean Pamphilon to release the tape so they could shift the blame onto Williams and away from them, hoping to avoid suspensions.
Pretty skeezy, claiming it didn't happen while also claiming that someone made them do it. I wouldn't trust the whole bunch of swamp dwellers.
"Implicit within Pamphilon's 10,000-word description of the circumstances is that players such as Fujita and New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees and the NFL Players Association were attempting to push more of the blame for the bounty scandal onto Williams and the coaching staff. "

I have no idea what it will be, but be certain that he will be bringing something. I highly doubt it will be something like "Well gosh durn fellers looks like you were right and I was wrong"

Brees knew all about the bounty program and eventually he will be tainted with this association. He did not play defense but he was aware and said nothing. He had his "ducks in a row".

Isn't Brees a rep for player safety for the NFLPA?
