Paying For Hits

The New Orleans Saints will replace the Pats as the poster boy for bad behavior with revelation of a bounty pool for the defensive players making big hits. This will far exceed Spygate.Head Coach Sean Peyton allegedly knew of the program, but did nothing to stop it.

It has been going on since 2009 under the direction of Defensive Coordinator
Gregg Williams. The NFL said 22-27 players were involved in the unsanctioned "Pay For Performance Program". Brett Favre and Kurt Warner were targets during the 2009 playoffs.

The team has not only violated the guidelines of the Salary Cap, but they have tarnished the integrity of the game with thought of players trying to hurt others.

This is going to be a huge story. It will rank way up there. Today is the first day for it.
