The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Saints defender after Favre injury: “Pay me my money!”Posted by Mike Florio on March 6, 2012, 4:29 PM EST Getty ImagesIn a must-read account of the Saints’ three-season bounty system, Peter King of Sports Illustrated shares plenty of intriguing and compelling details. MDS already has highlighted portions of the article relating to Roger Goodell’s reaction to the situation and linebacker Scott Fujita’s position on the subject. But there’s even more good stuff.During the 2009 NFC title game, which both sparked the league’s investigation and served as the most obvious example of assault and battery of an opposing quarterback, King writes that, after an unflagged high-low hit on Brett Favre resulted in a sprained ankle, an unnamed Saints defender was heard saying on an on-field microphone, “Pay me my money!”(We know what you’re thinking: The league killed Monday’s re-air of the game on NFL Network because the comment could be heard during the broadcast. Apparently, however, it was a different microphone.)King also explains that defensive end Anthony Hargrove can be heard saying, “Favre is out of the game! Favre is done! Favre is done!”Both statements would be strong circumstantial proof of the existence of a bounty program, if the NFL hadn’t already found that the bounty program existed. And King spells out the weekly routine that unfolded during the 2009 season, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams’ first in New Orleans.On Saturday night, Williams handed out in a defensive meeting envelopes containing payments for big plays and inflicted injuries from the prior Sunday. And the defenders would then chant, “Give it back! Give it back! Give it back!” Many did, which caused the pile of available cash to keep growing.The bounty system continued even after, as King explains in the Tuesday edition of his MMQB column, former Vikings coach Brad Childress sent to the league video of eight different hits on Favre from that game, the Vikings officially alleged that the Saints had put a bounty on Favre, and Williams, linebackers coach Joe Vitt, and Hargrove denied (i.e., lied about) its existence to investigators. For Williams, the denials (i.e., lies) continued through the middle of February 2012, when Williams was confronted with evidence implicating him as the “ringleader.” Williams, per King, once again tried to deny it, but Williams then met with Goodell to confess.Williams was back in New York on Monday, possibly to confess yet again (after possibly denying/lying yet again) his involvement in bounty systems in other cities.King thinks the punishment issued to the Saints and various individuals will “likely dwarf” the penalties meted out for Spygate. The more we learn about the situation, the less surprising that will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quizztorris Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah this story is crazy. Check out the link below. It says Goodell's iinitial reaction to the news that the Saints could have a bounty system is that he was "devastated." In Goodell's own words he said that, if true, it would be "earth shattering." The saints are so F'ed. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8276d243/article/evasiveness-of-sain… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saints are so F'ed. http://www.nfl.com/n...iveness-of-sain…The thing with this quote from Goodell, is that him being "devastated" shows how much the Saints are loved by the powers that be. I expect if the Falcons were found guilty of a similar thing, rather than Goodell being "devastated", he'd be "angry". It'd be like discovering the teacher's pet is also the school bully.Imagine how Vikings fans are feeling... they were already convinced the Saints were getting preferential treatment from the officials in that game, and now this!It bugs me that no matter what the punishment is, the Saints still won a Super Bowl under false pretences, and nothing is going to change that. Even if (which I know won't happen) they had their title scrubbed from the history books, they still experienced and enjoyed the ride and the result, whilst other teams (and their fans) playing within the rules had to watch from the sidelines.

paulitik Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I think Goodell is so devastated because he was stabbed in the back by the team he and the NFL did everything possible to give a super bowl to. If a player gets caught with drugs,, he's disciplined. The NFL looked the other way from the stolen Vicodin, the super bowl ticket fraud involving a previously convicted felon, working for team helping with logistics. The simple fact is the Saints are a corrupt team from top to bottom. From Benson down to Brees. It would not surprise me one bit if Brees was the snitch because he needed more leverage on the organization for contract talks and that allowing this to continue hurts his standing as a leader in the NFLPA. I think we are going to see a lot more come out of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a reporter, I'd be on the first flight out to New Orleans and I'd be interviewing...wait for it...The NUNS!!! I really would like to hear what the nuns have to say about this scandal. I also wonder if they will be coming out in support of the team ever again. If so, we should all write letters to the church requesting that they be excommunicated for publicly supporting a team that abuses drugs and rewards assault. Ok, that might be going a little too far, but I still would like to hear what they have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Discharged him wrongfully in his opinion tried to get them on that issue and got screwed out of the deal. So now he's taking it more personal and a bit further and bringing up the deep dirty stuff they did. He can and will get his final revenge.

Tracy Porter intercepting Peyton Manning's pass to celebrating with millions of Saints fans at the Superbowl parade in New Orleans and seeing Sean Payton raise the Lombardi trophy are memories that are etched in my mind for eternity, so IF, they would strip us of the Superbowl they could never take away my memories.
