If that is true, why do you think the NFL investigated in the first place? Do you think the league would mount an investigation like it did simply because a single team cried sour grapes after a tough loss?purple guy wrote: I agree, the bounty was stupid. However, I dont think they meant to injure players by playing dirty, just by playing mean and aggressive. Every defensive player dreams of a big, mean shot at an opposing player, if they say they dont, they are lying. Having a bounty was stupid, and Im sure they'll have to pay for it, as they should, but I dont think they played dirty at all.
Come on, purple guy, there had to be more to it than sour grapes. This type of thing could determine whether one guy can even coach in the league anymore (Williams) and would certainly tarnish his reputation, will probably have a significant effect on Sean Payton and Loomis, and could cost the Saints dearly in this upcoming draft. Those are not minor consequences brought about by one or two teams crying sour grapes because they got beat by a team that played clean, but aggressive, defense.
