I could be wrong but I think bounty gate is bigger than painkillers

So supposedly the drug problem with Payton was so bad that the FBI was running an undercover operation to see how bad it was, got the evidence they needed, then just did nothing because Goodell said he’d suspend Payton for paying players minor cash bonuses in violation of league cap rules?

I think it’s more likely the low level nobody from Washington was down bad and was trying to impress his date with how connected he is. The equivalent of some random government employee saying they saw the aliens in Area 51.

You know it's actually not him on these dates, it's a random girl..

Sometimes he does put on a pair of glasses and pull a Clark Kent...



I wouldn't call it hardcore journalism but it is what it is: people desperate for love sharing the tea from work. It's more informative than an unsourced rumor, but not enough to convict anyone of anything by itself.

This is mostly uninteresting for NFL regulars because we already had the info..

Love Payton for what he did while he was here but I don't care either way at this point. He's gone, bounty gate was 12 years ago and nothing is going to change what transpired in that season that was bountygate. It is a completely different team, situation, etc, these days. Hell, we have a whole new owner and leadership structure after Mr.Benson passed.

This is like an ex girlfriend making a video on youtube with and dropping some tea about something that happened 12 years ago.

What O'Keefe needs to look into is what Goodell had cookin' with the "No Call"..what deal did the refs have with Goodell??

Never forget. "Came to the sideline, looked at the football gods and was like, `Thank you," Robey-Coleman said. "I got away with one tonight."

Never forget.

The thing with Bountygate is that it was not just SP being suspended, also loss of 2nd round draft pick ( would have been a first if we had had one ) and other people suspended, if there is any truth to this , which l doubt then l want our second round pick back

Whatever you think about DA, i’d be really surprised if something scandalous happened under him. He seems like a solid person.

So solid that people are still upset he apologized to the Falcons because he didn’t agree with “how” we did something so he stood up for his personal morals. Imagine people being upset at someone for being a stand-up guy.

Crazy right?

Allen annoys a lot of the Saints fans because he’s “corny” and kind of “aw, shucks”. Fans got accustomed to Payton and his fiery demeanor and propensity to trash talk.

But what we learn is that sometimes those people who have fiery demeanors have some other unpleasant things going on, like drug addictions.

Allen is corny as hell - but maybe that’s exactly what was needed in the upper tier of the franchise.

What if the culture change that was needed was Payton. For all the good he brought -
It’s not out of the realm of possibility that he’s got some serious personal issues. Not saying any of it’s true - but it’s not impossible.

Ok good so this is pretty much all to do with Payton. Distraction can be his not ours.

A tell for me was when Payton coached a Super Bowl win...in which arguable the crucial factor was the defensive performance and game plan led by Gregg Williams....he went on to write his book, start hanging out with Kenny Chesney, took up with Miss W. Virginia and divorced his wife. Classic story not unlike Ed Orgeron. Reveals true character. Flawed character.

 

[Holy Avenger]

Hahaha some clickbait human garbage come running to Twitter breathlessly because SEAN HAD PILLS, GUYS!!! The least these dreck publishers could do is give us something we didn't know, like "Bat Boy took Vaughan Johnson's neck."

What a bunch of losers. Nice work O'Queef

Eric Asher had said this for years btw. "Vicodin gate put a target on Payton because the NFL(Goodell) wanted Payton fired but Mr.Benson refused to fire him." Then also claimed Bounty Gate was a retaliation after-the-fact.

Very possible, what I know is this.

-It's always tough following someone successful. Generally it behooves you to be the exact opposite of your predecessor and Allen is very much the opposite of Payton. People will accept him once he starts winning, and this is the year I think he gets the monkey of his back.

You have to give them credit for going undercover to find out about a secret scandal that was widely reported on years ago. That's real journalism. That takes a lot of courage.

While I agree that the O'Keefe Group is sleezy, I wonder if we would have the same energy if they were undercover digging up dirt on Roger Goodell? What if they duped some NFL stooge into admitting they railroaded the Saints? What if they had someone on tape talking about the no call or how the refs targeted the Saints because Roger hated Sean?
