turnerdburner Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Current and former Atlanta Falcons have denied the team had a bounty system like the one the New Orleans Saints were busted for. But what about former Falcons who were also former Saints? If only we had ... hey, here's Joe Horn:Lee Zurik@LeeZurikLee Zurik@LeeZurikFormer Saint Joe Horn says EVERY NFL team has a program like the Saints bounty program. Says in KC and ATL players were paid for cart offs.21 Mar 12ReplyRetweetFavoriteHorn played for Atlanta in 2007, meaning if the Birds did have any of this business going on at the time, we can blame Bobby Petrino. Thus, everything solves itself.The receiver played two stints for New Orleans, both before and after his single season in Atlanta. He's a member of the Saints Hall of Fame, and made the comment while on Nola radio. He was born and raised in Saints country as well. Take it for what it's worth. Also, decide what you think it's worth, and then take it for that.The NFL appears to be making an example of the Saints, then having every other team swear nothing like this will ever happen again. If other teams were doing the same thing, it's not exactly fair that only the Saints would be punished, but that's the team the NFL had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clownorg Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 that's funny Coy Wire outright said we didn't but said under williams there was in buffalo and Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That would mean the Bengals have one now probably, since it was Zimmer coaching the defense. I honestly just think he's saying it to lessen peoples outrage toward "his team". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way Mike Smith would EVER allow that to happen, Petrino on the other hand, well, he's a snake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) It's Joe Horn. He was a Falcon for a bit and did everyone a favor by bringing up Roddy but he still bleeds gold. Edited March 21, 2012 by Serge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharma Initiative Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Joe Horne was the worst free agent signing the Falcons have had in 7 years. I hated him before the Falcons, during the Falcons (he had what like 15 catches and we paid him millions), and since the Falcons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_ATL Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 If it was coming from anyone other than Joe Horn it might carry some merit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu 7 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I don't think the NFL needs to worry about Petrino being a head coach in the NFL anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerosmith67 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Fine, ban Bobby P from the NFL. That will work out for all 32 teams any expansion teams in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
