No that won't happen. Then the players and everyone else would have to take an oath in federal court. Perjury can get you put away.

why did Tag specifically say what he said?

To protect his client/friend/job? I'm sure you don't know, because you seem to know nothing regarding this issue, but Tags works for the law firm whose biggest client is the NFL and they are personal friends.

Still not a single answer to any question I have asked in any post regarding this topic. Your closest reponse is a question to a question.

You must be self employed.

What say all those defenders and lovers of Goodell?

So many were singing the praises of Goodell in his handling of this issue.

They have been quiet for a while now.

I wouldnt imagine any of them would post about how wrong they were.

As a matter of fact they most likely would deny their loyal praise for Pope Goodell.

Nothing.. its football. Hard tackles are a part of the game.

So no complaints if Brees gets a late, hard tackle.

ha! Yellow flags will rain down. Certain QBs are untouchable.

Of course Tagliabue, the appointed arbitrar of Goodell, the former Commish, is going to 'affirm' Goodell's 'evidence' but revoke the suspensions. That's another way for the NFL to get out of being laughed at, because the league had no evidence.

Bounty transcripts: Gregg Williams says Joe Vitt kept program going

Former New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams testified that he tried to shut down the team's bounty system when the NFL began investigating but was overruled by interim Saints head coach Joe Vitt, according to transcripts from appeals hearings obtained by The Associated Press.

At last someone with a real clue.

The Saints' season was destroyed for no reason. The NFL had no evidence of a "bounty". That's totally BS.

Sure they had an incentive program like all teams do for clean, legal, hits.

Not a "bounty" program to intentionally "hurt" opposing players. Pay for performance is not the same as pay for injure.

This whole fiasco was manufactured and blown way out of proportion by the *** wipe teet suckling media. Now the Saints have a reputation as being dirty and that's just not true. In fact their little incentive program didn't pay off if the hits were flagged or fined or were illegal.

But in the end the NFL still got what they wanted.

They created an "illusion" of false concern for player safety.

They prevented a Super Bowl contender from the potential of hosting their own Super Bowl.

Goodell can go to hell.

I think a defense that can't stop anyone is what has prevented the Saints from hosting their own Superbowl.
