Seems to me that Scott Fujita is talking out both sides of his mouth. I’ve thought for a long time that he is the “rat,” and the more I hear conflicting reports about him the more I believe it.

The denials of Brees etc etc are laughable!

People would respect Brees a lot more if he told the truth! Saints fans are about as classy as the classless Brees.
Terminate this disgrace of a feanchise!

“I’m going to report a ton of news for clicks and comments from this guy who did basically nothing wrong but disagree with him despite him being much much closer to the situation than I ever was!”

The funny thing is that you’re against this but the amount of articles EVER involving this man are topped on a weekly basis here by sensationalism and misquotes turned into entire stories like “I MIGHT have traded for Orton IF…” somehow being revisionist history and deserving an article BASED around criticism of the invalid point. Also this WILL be deleted since it makes a point you don’t want made, despite it being obvious you intentionally influence the readers here often with BS news and analysis as well as silencing dissenters consistently.

Everytime I see or hear Brees, Fujita, or Vilma in denial, it reminds me of Rafael Palmeiro at the Senate hearings on steroids.

I’m trying to be objective here because I haven’t seen all the evidence, etc. like the rest of us.

Either guys like Fujita and Vilma should come clean and salvage some integrity, and self-respect. I would respect them if they came clean and admitted what they did….and from what we’ve seen the league obviously thinks they did a lot.

The constant denials and NFL bashing by those two is making them look far worse.

If all the evidence comes out, and there is concrete evidence against Vilma and Fujita, after all their denials and Vilma’s lawsuit, they’re names are mud. They’re finished.

While Jerruh isn’t willing to ‘go all Al Davis’ on the NFL…I do believe that the NFL is preparing to ‘go all Al Davis’ on Fujita, Vilma, et al.

F-Off Mike Florio.

“My job is so hard, I have to read 10,000 words. All of which only incriminate the players I have been defending for 1,000+ articles since I’ve heard about it”

STOP DEFENDING THEM. They got caught, it doesn’t matter how many other teams did it, it was wrong. Its like when one person gets pulled over for speeding, yes, everyone is guilty, but someone has got to pay the ticket.

“There was no bounty system” – Darren Sharper

“I need more evidence” – Drew Brees

I am glad that the tape got out, but I don’t think very highly of the Pamphilon fellow. If he was really that upset about it he would have done something with the tape before the issue had been exposed. Instead he waited until the situation had already become a raging inferno, threw gas on it and wrote his name in the ashes. His name is out there now, everybody knows who he is now. He will probably write a book about the whole thing and rake in the cash.

Showing the tape the NFL, and NFL PA was the right thing do to, but I don’t think that he did it for the right reasons. It’s like if a guy witnessed a crime, and didn’t say anything. Weeks later with the suspect behind bars, the witness comes forward and wants to get his name in all of the papers and go on the Today Show to tell his story. He knew the whole time, and didn’t think to share the info until it could benefit him. Not a hero, probably not a good human being.

Sean Pamphilon just discovered he had a diary pertaining to Bountygate ?

Watch it, the ink is not completely dry on the last 5,000 words of Pamphilon’s newly discovered diary.

Of course, pay-for-performance bonus payments is itself illegal, just correcting the long held misconception that any staff admitted to pay-for-injury bounties. They did not.

How soon before Fujita blames his comments and behavior on the concussions he suffered while playing the game and then promptly sues the NFL?

______

Would you rather people people jump to conclusions based on comments from grown men who cannot own up to doing anything wrong?

Not saying they were trying to injure players, but they clearly participated in something frowned upon/illegal, and all we hear from them is denial.

While their coaches and GM have admitted to having something illegal in place.

You people deliberately misrepresenting the content of the GW speech with “evidence” of a pay-for-injury bounty system are being absurd. Nowhere in that speech is there “hey guys, $10K on Frank Gore!” Nowhere in that speech is “hey guys, $25K to take out Crabtree!” It’s an idiot saying that if players are hurt, the Saints have a better shot of winning. Even Pamphilon says that – for now, at least, until he doesn’t get a hero’s welcome from ESPN again. That’s different, as much as you want to click the thumbs down symbol when someone lets a little air in the echo chamber. As much as you don’t like to acknowledge that fact, clearly you don’t like to acknowledge another fact, that the Saints’ ACTIONS against the Niners were blatantly in contrast to GW’s WORDS.

Soooo…. Drew Brees does NOT need an explanation?….

Wow. I love the spin by fans on here blaming Pamphilon…like he doctored the evidence…. I hope he has proof. Lol

Fujita is a classic example of how an NFL player’s public persona put on for NFL fans often differs from the player’s real persona.

Goodell to Pamphilon: Quick, quick I need something else to get to the media. My once seemingly strong case has dwindled down to heresay. Make it interesting too. Include Drew Brees name so that all the google searches on Drew will pull it up. I got to go to court and right now the public opinion is not favored as much for me now as it was when the tape was leaked. I’m afraid the people will figure out I have no real evidence so c’mon make everybody go back to hating the Saints, not me. Please………… And as a bonus, you get your name in the papers and media’s mouth again.

Brees is now 100% guilty of knowing about the Bounty system in the court of public opinion

By: northeastkiller

northeastkiller — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 19:45:32 +0000

Yeah, “Drew Knew”…about a tape showing a coach going over the top in trying to rev up his players, NOT a pay-for-injury bounty system. In the words of this guy himself, “In the interest of full disclosure: The only reason why I beeped out the audio for the names of the Saints players is because they were getting paid for performance bonuses, $200 for turnovers was the biggest haul I heard. This is a LONG-held league wide practice and in the mind of any reasonable person without an ax to grind, in no way should it be mentioned in the same sentence as a ‘Bounty.’ PERIOD. End of Story.” – 4/4/2012

Wait until this story blows over and his career goes further in the toilet because of his clearly being someone who will stab you in the back. Suddenly “whack hits” will become targeted bounties and Brees will know everything.

This guy is just a fameseeking gloryhound with delusions of grandeur and pissed he hasn’t been treated like some sort of whistleblowing hero. GW being a blowhard and issuing ridiculous edicts that weren’t carried out on the field – repeat, WEREN’T CARRIED OUT ON THE FIELD – looks like a jerk, and Pamphilon with his changing stories and motives behind releasing the tape also looks like a jerk.

I’m not surprised at all that Brees knew about the evidence before it was made public. But I’m sure he still wants an explanation.

Fujita told Pamphilon. “Her second thought: People who say things like that to a group of impressionable men, shouldn’t be able to lead a group of impressionable men

If true, quite the insight into what happened regarding the release of the video.

Quite contrary to the initial impression that was portrayed that Pamphilon decided (with a mystery advisor) to release the video, the NFLPA and Drew Brees knew about and were involved in the decision to release the video.

One would think that Drew Brees, who claimed total ignorance on the bounty situation, would not have gotten involved in managing Pamphilon and the video tape to the point of trying to control what got released and when.
