“….There seems to be no reason in the world why the NFL should suddenly decide to gut one of it’s most popular franchises for no reason, but I’m sure the lawyers will manufacture something compelling…..”

To strengthen their position for future lawsuits. This is blatantly obvious to the most casual observer.

“No one has ever directly accused me of throwing a rock through the schoolhouse window back in 1993, therefore I must not have done it.”

Your statement contains an admission of guilt. Vitt has offered no such thing. Furthermore, if among the ‘no one’s” of which you speak exist those who have accused other of throwing rocks and have stated the importance of doing so when discovered and it turns out that they release evidence of you throwing rocks but never accused you of doing so then the evidence must be questioned further by anyone who does not have independent evidence of their own.

No evidence vilma should get his suspension put down to 6 games a season is too long when there is no hard evidence of him exchanging money

Dont worry folks. When training camps start to open, we wont hear a word of this anymore, even if its going on. Everyone knows what the saints did, even the saints fans who wont admit it. Once mike has something else to write about, this will go away.

Everything about the Saints organization just reeks.
It’s a corrupt corporation and players like Brees are putting their reputation, integrity and popularity ($$$) on the line for what?
———————————————-
Brees reputation and integrity went out the door with his continuous denials of knowledge of the program! Does he have his own private locker room? I think not! Brees is the biggest scumbag of them all!

– Exhibit 10: Transcription of notes from the Vikings game with these ominous line items: “$$ — QB out. QB out pool. $10,000 Vilma. $10,000 Grant. $10,000. Ornstein. Vitt $5,000.”

Someone please explain to me why Charles Grant’s name was on a QB out pool when he was on injured reserve. That sounds like an oversight by a fabricator to me

Cart-off. $1,000 due Roman Harper. This is directly from a power-point slide presentation from a defensive team meeting.

When did Roman Harper cause an opposing player to be carted off? Why is there no on the field evidence of it? Why was he not even mentioned in the suspensions up to no? I sure don’t remember it. Information from NFLPA regarding NFL’s “evidence”_

“Cart-off’ A “cart-off’ is simply a hard hit. It does not literally mean that a player was carted off the field. Coaches and players may use the terms “Knockout,” “Tapout,” “Blowups,” or “Hit Parade” to describe the same type of play.

Clearly a conspiracy exists against the Saints……

….There seems to be no reason in the world why the NFL should suddenly decide to gut one of it’s most popular franchises for no reason, but I’m sure the lawyers will manufacture something compelling…..

Funniest thing about this whole sickening scenario is these big tough football players hiding behind their tiny mouthpiece lawyers……but after Ryan Braun skated on a technicality, it’s clear to all professional athletes that if you toss some bucks to a high priced lawyer, it will all go away…..it’s the new American way…

I disliked the Saints for the bountygate scandal and I am really beginning to hate them even more for not just admitting what 99 % of the country believes they did. Admit, apologize and move on and it will be forgotten in a few years…

I feel like I’ve read the exact same article 3 times in a row, at least, in the last 30 minutes. It’s like when a kid double spaces his paper in school to make it appear like it’s 4 articles, er, pages long.

This is beginning to remind me of Watergate, but honestly, I’m not quite sure who Nixon is.

I haven’t ruled out Goodell yet.

Interesting that this ‘should’ have been a HUGE part of the NFL’s case. Or maybe, WOULD have been had they manufactured this bit of paper before they made up the punishments…..

AH-HA!! He said “the program”! Thank you Mr. Cornwall for testifying to the existance of the program. You may step down. (I don’t care you’re a lawyer not a witness, step down anyway.)

The NFL is not putting on evidence in a court. Please stop holding them to that standard. I could be accused of stealing from my Co_workers and fired for cause, then beat the criminal case. Still not getting my job back.

Difference being, they did directly accuse the players. On written evidence from a disgruntled employee. Btw, I just found a letter from a anonymous witness stating you did throw the rock. You are suspended a whole year without pay. Bazzinga!

Wait vitt didn’t contribute money to the pool. Wait yes he did. Whatever makes the saints look worse and the nfl look less credible. Amazing. Here come the goodell fans

Please, like any of those hand picked puppets for Goodell were going to question him on anything.

That’s because they are protecting him for testifying against the players. Pretty obvious.

Everything about the Saints organization just reeks.

Makes Al Davis’ theater 0f the absurd seem lame in comparison. I don’t believe anything anyone in Saints franchise says and am skeptical of what I see. Has nothing to do with fan affiliation or football at all. It’s a corrupt corporation and players like Brees are putting their reputation, integrity and popularity ($$$) on the line for what? Certainly not the truth.
