As much as I've hated Goodell all offseason for all the crap he brought to the Saints, us, Saints fans, need to understand and admit that in the eyes of the NFL or whatever court or judge that we could bring this case to, a pay for performance that rewarded "hits" and a pay to injure will always going to be viewed the same way. Yes we're a scapegoat but we were stupid to do it so obviously with so many evidences that were available for investigators. Keeping a ledger? That is just dumb! Allowing some dude we barelly know to film the pre-game speech of a playoff game? Stupid!
It's like speeding on the highway, everybody is doing it but everyone knows that if you're only 5mph over the limit, and if you have guys around you going faster, you won't get caught. It's always the idiot who drive just a bit faster than everyone else that get arrested.
