That is exactly what I'm referring too when I say Saints fans pushing thing too far to the innocent side.
The Saints coaches had a performance rewards system that paid incentives for things such as fumbles, interceptions, "cart-offs" and "knockouts". This is a violation of the bounty rule.
Now if you believe they didn't have this systems that is one thing, but if you acknowledge they had the system, and justify that they didn't break any rules somehow, that is just simply wrong.
