Well maybe as many of you seem to think, the Pope is to blame for all the sexual abuse in the Catholic church, but every man is the master of his fate and every many speaks for himself.
Gregg Williams takes his place next to Bernie Madoff as 2 of the sorriest excuses for humanity I have ever seen.

Telling the league about Williams behavior makes you a snitch.

Throwing Williams under the bus after the fact makes you a shrewd lawyer.

So much for “honor.”

I will tell you what after hearing the tape I wish the Raiders would Hire Greg Williams… This is a coach I want on my team… I feel the same way the football field is a war, You need to try and take out your enemy..
I hope Seymoure Breaks mannings neck…
I want Manning taken out on a stretcher…..

I hope after further review Goodell increases their suspensions based on their lack of oversight failure to prevent a coach from going rogue.

Sean Payton was 100% responsible and should pay the price for allowing it to continue after being warned. If your employee goes rogue, fire him, otherwise you are condoning it by turning a blind eye.

After hearing the stuff that came out today, Payton is lucky he only got a year.

Louisiana legislature, now how do you feel about passing your resolution asking Goodell to lighten up on the punishment? Dorks.

On a different note, I would favor a resolution if you required all episodes of “Swamp People” to have subtitles.

I said it during the game, and say it again. I have never seen a QB hit so many times, so deliberately late as they hit Farve. The refs should have been punished for allowing it to continue as well. It was blatant and obvious and any untrained eye could see. The Commish should have shown that tape in the Appeal today. Film doesn’t lie, like the Cheaters.

I don’t care what the Saints think or feel. I believe the penalties thus far were right in line with every other one handed down by the Commish. I don’t think they should be reduced in any way, and some should be increased now that the door has been reopened. Sean Payton was 100% responsible and should pay the price for allowing it to continue after being warned. If your employee goes rogue, fire him, otherwise you are condoning it by turning a blind eye. If the penalties are reduced significantly, I believe 31 other teams will do serious head hunting against the Saints every time they play. Might as well put a bulls eye on their uniforms and helmets. The Vikings should be first in line.

@ezmoover, it’s one thing to say the city was corrupt before Katrina (A few were) but to wish that Katrina had killed everyone, that shameful.

Williams suspension is “indefinite”.

That being the case, he should just walk away , stay away, and not even think hes going to come back. I would not give Godell any information at all. Just leave. Let Godell fend for himself. If keeping Williams around with and “indefinite” is supposed to buy some name dropping from Williams I say let Goodell do his own research.

Just leave Williams. Leave for good. He will write a book someday and Hollywood is already getting a script ready…..I think both will have a better title than “Bountygate”

I hope “ezmoover” reads this…

the only scumbag is you…period….only a truly miserable, spineless human being wishes tragedy on a city…pray that a katrina-like event does not happen to you….you’re unbelievably classless..this is just football….like the citizens of New Orleans planned and orchestrated a “bounty”…what a bunch of idiots and bottom feeders that post on this site….

oh yeah, we have a Lombardi and i’m sure your pathetic team does not….who dat, we dat, you loser….

Goodell should use the tape as evidence that these guys lied to the Comish again. They should all be banned for life not!

The fact that he was in the room for that brief and heard the targeting of players means he condoned it. “Your either with me or against me” in that situation. If Vitt had been heard to interrupt Williams on the tape to stop the rant, then I would say he has a case. He didn’t so he doesn’t.

Sorry excuse they were told about it and didn’t stop it simple as that. Sean , Joe , and everyone else got the memo saying stop doing this. They could have monitored him anything but they didn’t that’s where the punishment comes into play. To everyone saying all the teams do it . If you can remember Buddy Ryan was caught for the same thing years ago ,but he stood up for his decisions . Told the league yeah he did it . These guys are playing the I didn’t know this was going on bit. Which makes me loose a lot of respect for these guys be men own up . You got a championship can’t nobody take that from you . Let it be known you were wrong and end this soap opera.

Were Payton and Vitt not in the room when the audio was taken? Did he only say things like this when other coaches weren’t around? Did any player ever go to one of the other coaches and say, “Hey, I think Williams has gone off the deep end”?

Sorry, but saying Williams went rogue is a pathetic excuse. Man up and take some responsibility.

ok….i just googled. it was Vitt in 2010 who got busted for stealing Vicodin out of the locker room. Ya, this guy is credible and high character.

Wasn’t it Vitt and Loomis that were implicated in a DEA case about missing vicodin a few years back? Character guys.

Hey Saints fans…

liars and cheats never prosper!
==========================
They have a Lombardi Trophy, I think the cheaters did prosper. Although last year they also had the bounty system for the 49ers and they were the ones who left the game hurt. LOL

There are a lot of major issues in the NFL. Gregg Williams screwed up but he is also being used to cover a “multitude on league Sins”? Gregg is not the only one who should be thrown under the bus?

So how much money did Williams put up for the bounties ????

Anyone got a number on this ??

Just wondering if it was Williams fault Vitt broke in and stole those pain pills too?

At ezmoover watch your mouth this is football its good to talk behind the fact nobody know who you are posting, and most them guys were not here during Katrina they came after chump.

Williams hasn’t done anything that every other DC has done since the beginning of football.

if Goodell is so concerned about players safety; why doesn’t he help the vererans with health issues due to concussions?

By: paulitik74

paulitik74 — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 19:41:41 +0000

Then why didn’t they fire him? Sorry, Coordinators don’t just go rogue, it’s not like the offense was playing in a separate stadium. Payton took a paycut to get Williams hired. This was encouraged by Payton, and his correspondence with Ornstein via email over the bounty on Aaron Rodgers during the season opener confirms it.

Take responsibility and take your punishment, Saints, now shut up.

Kinda easy to blame the guy whose no longer your employee and working for a competitor no less.

Actually, it’s sort of slimy. I guess we shouldn’t expect anything less from these guys. The arguments then say that the Vitt, Patron and Loomis must be very incompetent dispite 3 years of warnings and investigations by the league office. What a pathetic argument.

Then the lawyer should have known the term ‘Accessory’ as well, which is exactly what the other coaches are.
