Nothing about the punishments as they stand on their own. I just don't believe that their efforts to increase saftey are as they're made out to be. The rules cater to offenses, they want to decrease injuries but what to increase the amount of games played.
Then you have the NFL burning the spygate tapes.
And recently you have the NFL agree to contracts by the Skins/Cowboys but then turn around and take cap money. Teams that didn't respect the cap floor weren't penalized at all.
There's really no rhyme or reason to any of their actions, they do what they want. I respect it, cus they can lol. Doens't mean I like it.
Brees is the union mouthpiece and spoke out vehemently in defense of the players on his team who purposefully tried to injure other members of the union. The same union that screamed bloody murder that adding games was a safety risk and that the NFL doesn't do enough to protect safety.
The NFLPA is a fucking joke. Fujita is perfect for a board role.
Vilma always seemed like a nice enought dude in interviews.
Also, he's using a SI cover story about the NO "Bounty Culture" as his Twitter profile picture right now. WTH :jnc

Good damn that is great news. Glad to see the NFL come down hard on this.
That doesn't affect the validity of these punishments.
Of course the league doesn't actually care about the safety of its players. It's more concerned about exposing itself to lawsuits down the line from these broken bodies that used to play in the league.
You still crying bout getting GODdelled? At least you got RG3 to lead you to a 8-8 record.
What a jackass.

I wonder what the national announcers will say about the Saints this year. They have talked so much about Katrina and Graham playing basketball while having things tough, I cant wait to see if the narrative changes this year.
I think that is a better stance than the NFLPA's poster boy, who believes in more (and more serious) injuries but wants fewer games.
Brees has the benefit of at least being a naive, hopeful idiot. Which is ten times better than what Fujita did.
It's what he gets for pushing down Jerome Simpson, the jerk.
love the acting job
Brees is covering his team's ass, hoping to spin the story for the fools that don't actually read the facts.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you think Brees didn't know about this? Oh man, I have a levee to sell you.

Fun!
Oh he definetely was aware that the Saint's were guilty, but I do not think he not knew the degree (because let's face it, shit like this happened in other teams, it's the degree that killed them).
He was being naive in that the punishment wouldn't be as hard as they were, which alot of people thought were harsher than they would be.

I am really interested to hear what defense the players could make if this goes to court.

Hargrove you damn dumby
Brees just wants justice. If they actually participated in the bounty, Brees would be okay with punishing those who participated, but WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE?
Really great move by Schiano and Tampa.
It won't go to court. Schefter is full of shit. Remember when the Cowboys and Redskins were going to blow up the NFL over the salary cap penalties according to Schefter?

Wait why is Hargrove suspended?
I'm sad now. We needed that DE power.
But if he's a dirty cheater, good riddance.
8 games though? Ted should shoulder that. He shouldered Neal and he was pointless.

He's been suspended before, He's already a dirty cheater
That's rich, SMU never recovered and Saints will be in the playoffs this year or next. How is that even remotely the same.

Roger goodell you are ridiculous
Gannon's certainly old enough to remember the results of the SMU death penalty.
Clearly not.
I will now be rooting for the Bucs to win their division.
I think he's going to have the best season out of all rookie WR.
They filed a grievance (which is nothing like the hyperbole spouted by Schefter) but still something.
