It was probably Olin Kruetz.

Don’t forget, he abruptly left the team mid-season saying he “lost the passion” to play or whatever.

Olin was always a stand up guy and I’m sure something like that would have rubbed him the wrong way.

Bullying mentality in this article on what Sharper should not do.

Nothing wrong with what Sharper said. Blowing guys up is part of football. Thats one of the main reasons I watch. Who cares if its hurting them? The guys get compensated for the risk. I can work 10 years combined and not make the minimum salary. I don’t feel sorry for any player that gets hurt out there making a lot of money playing a game.

More power to ya Sharper. Its just football

How does the NFL penalize liars?

Sharper is throwing his hat in the ring.

Didn’t Williams already admit to this “mistake”, even though they “knew it was wrong”? In fact, he’s done the opposite of denying it — first, apologizing profusely and then promising never to do it again.

This, along with the resounding silence from the Saints coaches and players, rather than vehemently denying these allegations (with the exception of delusional Sharper), tells me the NFL probably has a fairly strong case.

I’m not sure why there’s confusion on this issue.

———————————————

The Saints are 100% guilty…of having a bounty system, which simply means they were paid for performance. That DOES NOT mean they were paid to injure. That is not what a bounty means. IIRC Williams to the pay-for-performance end.

They very well could be guilty of being paid to injure, but I’ve yet to see actual evidence. If they were doing that, wouldn’t there be an inordinate amount of injured players coming out of their games?

“Someone that was formerly hired and that was formerly working for the Saints and that was relieved of his duties has a vendetta,” Sharper told WWL. “And they’re trying to get back and is upset about the fact he was let go ….”

Darren Sharper’s two most famous plays:

1. Being a step late on 4th and 26 vs. the Eagles.
2. Being a step late on “The Catch 2″ vs. the 49ers

Honorable mention:
a. Blowing out his knee late in 2002 foolishly trying to run an INT out of the end zone. He did almost make it all the way to the 10 yard line, but it cost him his season.

b. Trying to run a meaningless end of game pick back versus the Vikings in 2002. I guess karma bit back in “a”.

Why wait 2 years later if the league thought bout this before we Saints are relevant now they want to crucify us for something every player try to do hurt the other team its footbal now us fans who wore paperbags for 40 years r the ones sufferin

Yeah because the NFL and their “investigations” are the picture perfect example of integrity. Goodell burned the spygate tapes and tried sweeping it under the rug, only to have Matt Walsh throw egg on their face with his own secret stash. The biggest systematic cheating scandal since the Black Sox and all they hit the Pats with was a 1st round pick and a pocket change fine for a guy like Belichick making millions.

And all you have to do is watch the 2007 HBO Real Sports segment on concussions and the NFL to see how hard the league fought medical findings on the long term effects of concussions. They alienated any reputable medical institution during the course of their own “research” and their doctor went on record saying there was no medical evidence of any kind linking football hits to long term player health. It’s on youtube. The NFL is organized crime in drag.

Darren Sharper speaks to y0u in love and peace from an alternate plane of reality not shared by the fondly entitled Commish.

Oh no. No no no. This is not good for Sharper.

Hey good people, check out this view……

When a bad person hurts a good person and a good person even merely asks them to stop harming good people, what does a bad person do? They amp up their threats, their bad actions, their harm, they threaten the good people just trying to get by without bad people harmin them.

Darren Sharper, you are a bad person. A good person didnt threaten you, but you are so bad you threatened that good person because it merely displeases you or involves other bad people you know.

This is bad, this is very bad. Textbook definition of actions repeated hndreds of times over every day by bad people on good people that merely want them to stop being bad.

Darren Sharper, you have some explaining to do. You will have to say it to my back.

The players know the risk and take a chance each time they go on that football field. Some players cross the line and and take cheap shoots, and that’s what gets them fined on Monday morning. Most players will play hard, and yes, try and knock another player out of the game. That’s is the game. Violent collisions and fear. Is it a wonder players pony up a few bucks to teammates who score big hits?

@dpinchot exactly. Now, the 49ers should’ve know that was gonna happen and had someone else do the returns. Like, someone who had actually done them before. Barring that, they should’ve let the punts land where they may and stay out of the way.

Sharper also contradicts the league’s findings regarding the question of whether head coach Sean Payton knew about the bounty system. “I don’t think Coach Peyton had anything or didn’t know anything about that. Coach Peyton didn’t have any idea what we were doing,” Sharper said. And then Sharper contradicted himself on this point in a subsequent interview with WWL in Louisiana. “Was it overseen and controlled by the coaching staff?” Sharper said. “Yes it was.”

—————————————–

That’s not a contradiction; “the coaching staff” consists of more than a dozen people. And it’s widely-known that Sean Payton gave Gregg Williams free reign over the defense.

And until we actually SEE THE EVIDENCE the NFL has, it’s irresponsible of you to say Sharper is contradicting their findings. What if their findings aren’t completely accurate? What if the Saints *did* have a bounty system that *didn’t* include intent to injure?

As a lawyer, I’m sure you know judges and juries aren’t always correct in their verdicts and rulings. So shouldn’t you wait to see the evidence before you hop on your soapbox?

Think back six weeks to the days after the Giants beat the 49ers in the NFC championship game, in part because San Francisco return man Kyle Williams bungled one punt that yielded a touchdown and fumbled a second that set up New York’s game-winning field goal in overtime. In the locker room afterward, two Giants special teams players boasted they knew chances were especially good they could separate Williams from the football – and maybe his senses, too.

“The thing is, we knew he had four concussions, so that was our biggest thing, was to take him outta the game,” said Jacquian Williams, who forced the second fumble.

“He’s had a lot of concussions,” echoed Devin Thomas, who recovered both fumbles. “We were just like, ‘We gotta put a hit on that guy.’

“I may be wrong, and very well could be with all of the stories out there, but I thought I read the league had as many as four people confirm this took place. And why do people assume it was a player? Could very well be other team employees who witnessed this in the locker room or at the teams training facilities. They wouldn’t have the same motivation to keep it in-house that a player would.”

I think it was Mike McQueary.
