I don't know how this is so difficult to understand. You can call it a bounty program, pay for performance program, or whatever you want to call it. Bottom line, it was illegal. Where the Saints really fucked themselves is when the NFL got wind of it, and the Saints said nothing was going on. I mean, come on man. If this sort of thing were about Alabama football and this type of evidence was released, you would be all over it like a rat on a Cheet-O. You would be beside yourself that Alabama football should cease to exist, circumstantial evidence be damned. Everything is based on what perspective you look at it from.
I couldn't give two shits less if this happened to the Saints, Packers, Patriots, or any other NFL team. I hardly watch NFL ball, so I don't pull for one over the other. But if this shit came out about a team I cared about? I would shit my pants.
