I said this a while back on this board and got killed lol. The things you quoted there are true. People assumed because Tagliabue dropped the player punishments, this meant they were innocent. That's just not what happened at all.

He's also right that the punishment had more to do with lying and covering things up than the bounties themselves. This has all been known from the beginning.

Bring the heat y'all, I can take it.

Then why did they punish Fujita, who was here for one GW season before leaving for the Browns?

Tagliabue vacated the punishments because he saw it for what it was -- a blatant attempt to make the Saints scapegoats for what was common practice in the NFL.

what evidence do you have that the saints lied and covered up things after the fact? The NFL stopped the allegations against the players and focuses on just the 2009 season

while true, Tags was a completely biased source on this matter. It wasn't like he was a neutral arbitrator

Pretty sure just the act of paying players under the table is in itself illegal. That's another thing some people don't get. And I know it wasn't pay for injury


not sure what we are arguing about then. While pay for performance may be illegal, that is not why the Saints go bent over. Many teams have ran pay for performance systems, and Tags actually defended pay for performances not too long ago
