May 2, 201214 yr Hey New Orleans, now would be a good time to sign Brees to that extension and get some positive news going.
May 2, 201214 yr Andrew Brandt @adbrandt On April 20, Vilma restructured contract to convert $1M of $2.6M salary into bonus . Salary that is lost is now $1.6M. Saw it coming.
May 2, 201214 yr Had to send a very firm message to the league that this garbage behavior will NOT be tolerated.
May 2, 201214 yr It's a total crock. How does a player get the same amount punishment as a head coach who aloud it to go on? Another thing, are you telling me there were only 4 players involved in the bounty program? IMO the NFL needs a committee to handle discipline situations.
May 2, 201214 yr Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't ESPN or someone break down the playoff game with the Niners that showed him hitting Gore in the head just like Williams told them to in the tape?

I don't remember that but it wouldn't surprise me. Worst part is the Saints were told to stop it before that game.

Simple really, as much as the coach pushes it and tells the player to do it.....ultimately the player is the one in the game, creating the hits. Therefore, players is just if not more responsible.
May 2, 201214 yr Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't ESPN or someone break down the playoff game with the Niners that showed him hitting Gore in the head just like Williams told them to in the tape?Maybe. But I still believe a lot of it is ingrained in to every persons head that any tackle you see highlights of you assume it was something dirty the Saints were doing on every snap or related to a bounty. The NFL is loaded with bountyless cheap shots or dirty moves.... about 100 of them every game. This whole thing was about setting an example of someone to show the NFL means business in their upcoming class action lawsuit. I am not defending the actions of the Saints, btw. They need a fall guy/team and the Saints were perfect for it (through their own faults and actions obviously).
