TACOGATE IN NEW ORLEANSStill sloppy writing.
Says we have the same bounty program as the Vikes, who paid to injure specific players, and then one line later quotes Hargrove who says we SPECIFICALLY DIDNT target players, and it was just for good plays, not injuries.
People are still buying Goodell's bull 4 years later that they will claim we were paying to injure people and as proof use a quote that says the exact opposite, and not even realize it. Because in their mind, any Saints player saying "we were paid for good hits, big plays, etc" is admitting to paying for injuries. They just stop listening at "we were paid..." and fill in the rest with "to injure brett favre" because thats the only narrative they know.
guys, read the rest of the article. it's not flattering. sure, it says the Vikings had a bounty system, but the entire article is about how the Saints were a disgusting band of mercenaries, and only through unmatched willpower and titanium rocks was the hero Brett freakin' Favre able to make it through the game alive.
and once again, facts are misstated to vilify the Saints.

Pffftt...who cares.
Super Bowl 44 champions - Your New Orleans Saints!
Williams was on the way out with or without bounty gate.Never forget that it was Jimmy Kennedy and Brad Childress who got the ball rolling on Bountygate. Kennedy told Childress at halftime that ''It was like they had a bounty on Favre'' or words to that effect. Then, it turned into a game of Gossip, where Kennedy's opinion morphed into an allegation. The Saints continue to suffer from the loss of draft picks and the only defensive coordinator who built a strong defense in the Sean Payton era. Of course, Gregg Williams had to be fired. But the subsequent seasons have produced a precipitous decline on the defensive side ever since.
Furthermore, it is difficult to believe that the Saints do not continue to be under extra scrutiny. Were all of Browner's penalties accurately assessed, for example? Do the Saints seem to get the short end of controversial penalty calls? Some--but not all-- of the paranoia and whining about penalties we see on the Gameday Board and the Super forum is justifiable in my view and is a residue of the Bounty nonsense.
The Vikings were right—they were the better team. Faster, stronger, significantly more athletic. The Vikings won the possession and yardage battles—Peterson rushed for 122 yards and Minnesota gained 475 overall.
I went on a few Vikings' talk forums, and of course they all say it's just a money-grab to sell some books. Not surprised. I know these fans around the league can't be this stupid. All teams have prize pools. It's not even about the $, it's more or less entertainment. Like playing FF.Looks like PFT has now picked up on the story. I hope it gets traction, even if it doesn't matter in the end.
