commentary...

New Orleans Saints' quarterback Drew Brees,and Cleveland Browns' linebacker Scott Fujita ripped NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell over the re-imposition of the Saints' "bounty" scandal suspensions,yet again... well,Drew and Scott,you have every right to rip Commissioner Goodell,but let me have a shot at ripping both of you,and remind both of you of one fact that you two never have brought up at any time,at least,in public,and that is there is a signed affidavit,by suspended former Saints',and Rams' defensive coordinator Gregg Williams,saying that there was a "bounty" program,for the Saints' team,from 2009-2011,saying that players(Jonathan Vilma-$10,000 "bounty",on Favre)put bounties on then-Minnesota Vikings' quarterback Brett Favre,and then-Arizona Cardinals' quarterback Kurt Warner,during the 2009 NFL playoffs(the Saints beat Arizona 45-14,and Minnesota 31-28,in overtime,that year)... you can rip Commissioner Goodell all you want,but to say that there was a pay for performance,and not a pay to injure program,after knowing that Williams said that there was one,along with other evidence,strains overall credibility... to back up your former,and current teammates is expected,but outside of WHO DAT Nation,very few people believe that your position holds any water,because of the mounting evidence,against the players,and the Saints' organization,because Drew,and Scott,two more questions:why did head coach Sean Payton,general manager Mickey Loomis,defensive coordinator Gregg Williams just meekly accept their suspensions,and why did the Saints lose draft picks,and get fined,if there was not a "bounty" program,during 2009-2011... by the way,you ripped Commissioner Goodell over his power to discipline players,given to him by the current collective bargaining agreement(CBA),which is understandable,but you forget the simple fact that the NFLPA caved into giving the Commissioner vast power to discipline players,under Article 46,"Commissioner discipline",and the "conduct detrimental" clause,of the CBA,and now,the NFLPA,and the players involved,in the "bounty" scandal,are trying to take away much of that power,through the players' appeals processes,and federal lawsuits,which is expected,but honestly,Drew and Scott,you may want the evidence out in a public forum(Vilma's attorney,Peter Ginsburg,has implied that many times),but honestly,Drew and Scott,maybe that smelly can of worms,if opened,is not what you players wished for,because there is much more evidence in that can than you can really stomach,in public... finally,one more question,can you stomach the results of that smelly can of worms,if opened???
