Saints hammered by NFL

Quote from investigation of ALL NFL teams for this from PFT:
In fact, league counsel Jeff Pash told Peter King of SI.com that the NFL has no evidence of other teams violating the rules against bounties.
“If we found evidence of the same clarity that we found in the New Orleans case, we would take action,” Pash said. “We have looked into some allegations. But as you know, allegations and accusations are not proof.”
Technically, the Saints aren’t the first team to violate the bounty rules: The 2007 Packers were found to be violating the rules when some players gave $500 to defensive linemen after holding Adrian Peterson under 100 yards in a win over the Vikings. But what makes the Saints’ case exceptional isn’t the mere existence of a technical violation of the pay-for-performance rules. What makes the Saints’ case exceptional is that the team flagrantly violated the rules for years, that there were specific opponents targeted for “knockouts” and “cart-offs,” and that when the league office approached the Saints, not only did team officials not put a stop to it, but they lied to league investigators and kept the bounties going.

they were singled out in the end. Do I know this for sure, of course not, we don't know one way or the other about the other 31 teams. They could have all been warned and stopped or none of them could have been warned.

Were other teams warned? Don't know. thanks phi


gee, sounds familiar

I haven't read the whole thread so if this has already been said sorry for the repeat.

But its my understanding why New Orleans is in trouble is one the lying and then because yes all teams do bounty but its players paying players but with New Orleans its the organzation actually paying players.

If this type of "program" ISN'T going on throughout the NFL, I bet Saints opponents will adopt it next season.

...but I don't think any other team's D would flinch over a pep talk like this.

I think it's pretty standard rhetoric.

well then enlighten those doubters with facts, not hearsay. Post links of audio, video, eyewitness testimony of where else this is happening in the NFL at this level.:popcorn:
