NFL investigation reveals Saints players maintained a bounty for vicious hits and injuries inflicted
|
From CBS Sports:
NEW YORK -- The NFL says that New Orleans Saints players maintained a bounty program over the last three seasons that targeted opponents with the intent to injure them.
The league disclosed the findings of an investigation Friday, saying between 22 and 27 defensive players and at least one assistant coach were involved. No punishments have been handed out yet, but they could include suspensions and fines.
Commissioner Roger Goodell says he is troubled because the system "involved not just payments for 'performance,' but also for injuring opposing players. The bounty rule promotes two key elements of NFL football: player safety and competitive integrity."
The league's investigation shows the pool for the bounty program may have surpassed $50,000 at its height during the 2009 playoffs. New Orleans won the Super Bowl that season.

If that's true, they should be stripped of their Superbowl win.

They should but they won't. They ignored their dirty play back then when it was obvious and they will basically ignore it now.

The players they injured should bring charges and sue them then. Then the injured should sue the NFL for failing to protect them.
Did any of these guys end a career?

taking away the title would be stupid. its not like they cheated
i would suspend all involved players for an entire season though. that is unacceptable behavior

Really disturbing. 
Now, last year, there should have been a surplus of money, they could not tackle, much less knock someone out.

This doesn't make sense to me. If the players should be suspended, then they shouldn't have been playing in the Superbowl in the first place. They wouldn't have won had they been punished for their tactics because they wouldn't have been playing. So they shouldn't have the victory.
Take away the Superbowl victory and you'll never see this behavior again.

Well it was pretty obvious when before the NFC champ game against Minnesota they said they were looking to hurt Favre and take him out of the game. This is why I don't like them. That is just bad form. Don't like James Harrison either because he finds nothing wrong with intentionally trying to injure someone with hits to the head. he took 3 players out of games last year alone by intentional head shots. then goes on to say that is what they are taught to do. Then he says that the game is getting to soft and he should just retire if this keeps up. Then he turns around and says they were accidental after admitting he did them intentionally.
Dude is dumb as fuck.

I'm surprised only by the fact that it is the Saints. Suprised and disappointed, I like the Saints.
I know that douchebag that coaches the Detroit Lions coaches his players to do that. I guess the thinking is that if you are not really very good at Football you can try to make the game even by taking out players that are going to beat you because they are better than you are.
That is not what the game is about. Any coach who is found guilty of this should be terminated permanently. Send a few asspipes like that skidmark coach from Detroit to the unemployment line and the rest of the douche crew will take notice. No excuses no second chances, banned from the NFL enirely. Do that once and it will stop.
After the game where Suh was such a ridiculous POS the Packers were interviewed and it was clear that they were taught just the opposite. Hit clean play clean and stay clean, no matter what. The radio talk dolts were saying Green Bay should have retaliated and attacked that big crybaby Suh...
Yes. Good thinking. After 9/11 we should have bombed Mecca. That makes perfect sense.
If you're a moron.
