what's the problem?

Rules violation.

You know, the same thing as video taping a team practicing.

Bounties have been around forever. They just got caught.

Yep...that's what I said in the thread title.

dumb rule.

[gnusnich]

dumb rule.

Yep, because in a league rocked by concussions, you want to have a team give bonuses for injuring players.

[GlarlraTpople]

And now any player who was injured while playing the Saints will get his lawyer all spun up. Yeah, this will be a mess.

No doubt.

Not only the Saints, but Washington too. Looking into Williams when he was with the Skins too.

I see nothing wrong. I support what the Saints were doing.

This does nothing to taint the Saints' Superbowl win.

Let every team break the rules.

[CuittisIL]

Take away a draft pick.

Suspend Payton since he knew.

Allow Rams to back out of their contract with Williams.

Give the Vikings the Super Bowl trophy from that year.

Unpossible. Brent Faver would have thrown multiple picks and the Colts would have been champs. Everyone knows that.

[GetsTan]

Let every team break the rules.

Big hits are part of the game. I like seeing big hits. It's part of why I watch football.

because players aren't knocking the living shit out of each other without bounties. dumb rule.

[ReginaPerss]

the real problem is the owner told them to cut it out and they ignored the man who writes the checks.

[ceagstuntee]

Saints are royally fucked.

An NFL memo to all of its clubs details yet more of what is becoming one of the biggest sports scandals in recent NFL history. Details of the memo were obtained by me from a team official. Here is a summary of what parts of the memo states.

Funds for the Saints bounty system, the memo states, weren't solely contributed by players. People close to the Saints team contributed as well. One was a felon: Michael Ornstein.

Ornstein was once Reggie Bush's marketing agent and is close friends with Saints coach Sean Payton. Ornstein spent time in prison for fraud and the Saints -- somewhat -- have cut ties with Ornstein.

But in 2009 Ornstein was a fixture around the Saints site. The NFL memo to teams state that then Ornstein pledged $10,000 towards the quarterback bounty in 2009.

Then, on at least two occasions in 2011, Ornstein again contributed to a bounty fund on an opposing quarterback.

The NFL memo also states there was a bounty paper trail. Ornstein put details of the bounty system in an e-mail to Payton, according to the NFL memo. In that e-mail, Ornstein committed $5,000 towards yet another bounty.
