"Ignorance is not a suitable defense" - Roger Goodell

AP is reporting that a law enforcement officer confirms with a voicemail that he send the video to the NFL offices on April 9th.

The plot thickens.

Isn't great how his own words are coming back to haunt him

In all seriousness, and just to beat a dead horse, what proof was there on bounty gate?

1) The powerpoint- I spent several times reading that and laughing my arse off.

2) Hargrove, possible him, saying "give me my money" at a random time in an NFL game

3) Hitting Favre really hard

4) GW saying mean things to pump his team up. Although the achilles talk was over the line.

Anything else?

I know, just drop it, doesn't matter. I just think this shows what alot of us Saints fans have felt for a couple years, that the league will lie and cover shite up.

And those are the rules, right? Because how is this substantially different than the charge Goodell—with righteous indignation—levied against Saints head coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis two years ago in the team’s bounty scandal? As you recall, ignorance wasn’t accepted as a defense when Payton and Loomis claimed they weren’t aware of what renegade defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was up to in his meeting room, with his bounty pool nonsense.

Goodell’s tough-guy stance was, If you didn’t know exactly what was going on in your program, that’s no excuse. You should have known. Case closed. Punishment dispensed.
