Bountygate CliffsNotes (Long)
Let's not forget the NFL lap dogs who perpetuated the lie.
For example - Warren Sapp:
“Not for one second would I sit in a room and listen to someone say, ‘We’re going to take out someone’s ACL,’ without standing up and saying, ‘What the hell are you talking about?’ ” Sapp said in an hour-long phone call, most of it discussing the recent revelations about the New Orleans Saints instituting a bounty program. “The way you play defense isn’t about malice. It’s about putting you in fourth-and-more than you can handle.”

I doubt Chad Clifton agrees with that statement.

In the Chiefs’ defensive line meeting room, “Kill the head & the body will die” was the first thing every player saw, every time he walked in.

13. Vikings Bounty Program:
It was all fun and games when Favre was injuring players with cheapshots
But the play might have put to rest any talk of a schism in the locker room, given that Favre’s decision to get his hands dirty (albeit with a dirty block) apparently won him some credibility among his teammates.
“I liked it,” tight end Visanthe Shiancoe said. “Hey, it’s man eat man
out here. [Editor’s note: You know, that one is way too easy, especially since Shiancoe said it. I’ll just leave it alone.] You better keep your eyes on a swivel. He saw Brett out there
and said, ‘Ah, Brett ain’t going to do anything.'”
