On Saturday nights during the 2009 NFL season, Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, the lightning-rod leader of a feisty unit, would stand in front of his men holding white envelopes filled with cash—bonuses for their performances the previous week. As Williams called up player after player, handing them envelopes with amounts ranging from $100 for a special teams tackle inside the opponents' 20-yard line to $1,500 for knocking a foe out of the game, a chant would rise up from the fired-up defenders:
"Give it back! Give it back! Give it back!"
Many players would do just that, to beef up the pot and make the stakes bigger as the season went on. The NFL alleges that by the time New Orleans reached the NFC Championship Game against the Vikings on Jan. 24, 2010, the stakes had risen to the point that middle linebacker and defensive captain Jonathan Vilma personally offered a $10,000 bounty to any player who knocked Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre out of the game. (SI's attempts to reach Vilma were unsuccessful.)

I cant read anymore details about this shite. The fact that the NFC Championship bounty was like 50,000 was stupid enough. Now we find out it was an accumulation of the whole season's money. That is chump change for these guys. This whole situation is blown so stupidly out of proportion and the media and the NFL are trying to scapegoat the Saints.
Like Joe Horn said - The Saints shouldnt be penalized until every team in the NFL is investigated. The way to fix the big hit problem is already in place with refs and guys on the sidelines who look for big hits and helmet to helmet hits and fine the players responsible.

This is some funny shite!
It was probably Drew talking to Loomis.

Wow. So the Saint's knew they couldn't just play the game to win, they had to take out the leader of the better team. Shameful way to win a game, but I guess when you are a desperate franchise like the Saints you have to do whatever you can to win.

What about the abuse I took in SF, why don't I get some $$$ from the 49ers and NFL?

Really??? $100??? That's like your average guy getting $1. Pretty big incentive.
Earth to Peter King ... every defensive player in the league tries to make his opponent quit, either mentally or physically, on every play. That's why they play defense. If they didn't have that mentality, they wouldn't be in the NFL.

Now I just love Vilma even more.

I fricking hate Greg Williams, this is one of many reasons why.
