re: Goodell's Letters to the Suspended Players-Same Ol' Shite

This all boils down to the Saints not stopping the "bounty" program when the league told them to; that's it.

For whatever reason the Saints brass decided to basically tell the league to 'frick off and mind your own business'

No, it doesn't. Cerullo went to the league and sold them a story about Vilma laying down cash to take players out. They start asking questions. If they were asked if they had a bounty program, of course they're gonna say no, because pay for performance isn't a bounty program.

This is all about the league taking the word of a ex-employee and running with it. Now he looks like an idiot when the two sworn testimonies backing up his case against the players contradict each other. This is gonna get ugly in court, and I hope he loses his damn job and pays out the nose either in a ruling or a settlement.

Have you followed this story at all, or has ESPN been your only news source?

If all that it boils down to is us not stopping when the league told us to stop in 2009 then why did fujita get suspended.

And nobody said the Saints are completely innocent, everyone has agreed there was a pay for performance system in place, but that's not under goodell's jurisdiction.
