A lot of information has already come out regarding BountyGate and the Saints. But we’re only just getting started.
One of the details that has emerged relates to the 2009 NFC Championship game where the Saints bruised and battered Brett Favre all night long.
Before the game, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on NFL Live that Jonathan Vilma threw $10,000 on a table and said it would go to the player that successfully knocked out Favre. None of the Saints were successful, but they did their best in one of Favre’s more underrated performances of all time. (Yes, the ending stunk. Just watch the rest.)
Patriots fans feel like they won the Super Bowl today.

So that makes 4 Super Bowl champs with asterisks in the last 11 years, all the glorious baseball records--asterisks, Guy with cancer dominates a sport Americans wouldn't care about--7 asterisks. I think I'm starting to miss the old days of blissful ignorance.

I hope Williams is fired over it, not because i care about bounties, but because his defense fucking sucks.
I didn't know you were such a big Rams fan.
that's what i was thinking.
wow i have really been out of the loop lately. i generally shut down sports after football until baseball season.
i guess ALex Smith didnt have a bounty on him. too bad.
this probably happens everywhere, and i doubt it makes much difference. defensive players trying to hurt offensive ones!!! SHOCKING! I'm sure that ten grand is a huge motivator for millionaires who get fined more than that for weaker hits.
