Was that the defensive linemen? I had always remembered it being Joe Horn for some reason

Wasn’t there a baby involved in this one?

If the story is true, why didn’t the Saints just trade away Horn or Johnson instead of the HOF Offensive Tackle?

Bountygate was Roger Goodell's plan to get Sean Payton out of football, and revenge for Super Bowl week, Mike Ornstein, and vicodin.

Also, he waited to announce it until the day Tim Tebow was traded to the Jets because didn't want the media to scrutinize it and Tebow was the perfect distraction.

the rumor it was about JJ (Nola guys) v. J Lee (everyone else). i've heard it was at halftime and before the game


Some former players have said there was infighting but not over the QBs. Its because Miles scrapped the game plan they had been working on for the whole month a week before the game

I don't remember the timing, but Joe Johnson signed a huge contract with the Packers soon afterward and did nothing.

I'm sure Roaf just wanted to get the Hell out of Dodge after all of that.

i'm not speaking to the veracity of the reports, but taking pics with cell phones in casinos pointing at tables or machines is a big no no

you can't even have your phone at tables at most places (not sure what the rules are for craps)

This is true. Joe Horn was a diva and Joe Johnson was quiet, so it had to be Horn.

Why would I still have a random picture from 2011 of someone I don’t give two shits about?

I can’t speak to specific players and when but I was staying at the Lowe’s across the street. There were absolutely players in and out of Harris all weekend.

This is what I was told by a former player, albeit a defensive one. Also said he didn't speak to Miles for some time after because post game he said he was proud of them and "my dad didn't raise me to take pride in getting my arse whipped".
