The Darkest Scandal in NFL History | Paid to Kill | NFL Documentary | 

Not in the NFL anymore. Definitely in your local pee-wee league though lol.

No doubt

hell no lmao this is a soap opera now

it wasnt just the saints it wasnt just the staint IT WASNT JUST THE SAINTS!!!!!

:(((((

Did he not? I thought he did cuz the video said he got banned indefinitely

agree not only that but i think he should had to pay for any players long term problems from those injuries

​@@user-li8if6pd9xindefinitely at the time of the ban. Later they mentioned he's floated around the league since returning. Can't remember if they said he's still active or not.

It's a violent game. Why get mad when one side decides to be more violent. I'm not saying its right but definitely something you should expect.

Why would he? People soft man. He paid his players extra for doing a good job… you realize the entire league be doing this but without the money? He just paid them.

I know Right!!!

Same with Vilma commentating games

There both POS

@@justinleandoer6821 True!!!!

He is allowed to coach because this was a manufactured “scandal”….fake scandal and fake news from goodell who HATED Coach Payton and crew

How’s it shameful Brett Farve even said he never cared about bounty gate!

​@dannyboyakadandaman504furl9 Noone cares about Brett he was a Bozo. Players like, Brady, Cousins and Mahomes would say the are happy the Bounty gate was stopped and Caught

@@dannyboyakadandaman504furl9shocker. the piece of shit saints fan defends it

Hey, they’ve got to protect the integrity of the game. 😂

Have you heard of the patriots? The nfl literally burned the spy gate footage.

People felt sorry for New Orleans, a steaming shthole of a city, after Katrina....

One word: Katrina. No one wants to talk about it because of what the Saints winning the Super Bowl meant to the city of New Orleans. As a Houston sports fan whose first baseball team also won their first championship amidst both a hurricane and a scandal, it baffles me how the Astros can never live it down, but the Saints can.

Katrina was 4 years before the Saints won a SB. Also, it's been wide spread knowledge that the majority, if not all franchises in the NFL have had a bounty program at some point. The Saints are the ones who got caught, so now everyone has their scapegoat and can just pretend like their franchise is perfect and has never dont any bad.@@Gemnist98

Dude down here we don't. People never live it down not everyone lives on the internet. Both my parents are life long Saint's(and Astro, they're kinda like Lousisanian's unoffical baseball team, and they carry that scandal with shame ) they carry this with shame, most Saints fans do. People always talk about bounty gate.

@@evannlorman7926Ima be honest…it never seems to be brought up in convos about the Saints golden season. And tbh…I never took it as much of a big deal from the very beginning cause I always thought that every team secretly operates like that to some degree. I’ve played football from the time I was 6 till high school. Been a part of enough teams, under enough coaches and in enough locker room discussions to understand that more often than not…the higher ups are willing to look the other way or lose some morals if they think they can get away with it. From the very beginning. From a kid being over weight or too old, to encouraging the targeting of a known weak spot of another player. I always assumed, long before bounty gate was brought to light, that coach’s congratulate and or reward players for taking out other players with a hard hit.

Money, fame, luck, people defending this bullshit who say things like “iTs HoW tHe GaMe WoRkS”

So true, he should’ve been prosecuted along with all pitchers who hit batters with a pitch.

It's literally a part of the game, how are you going to convict? He told his players to target specific body parts of other players so it's illegal now? I don't think it's right, or that he should coach again, but some of you just react so emotionally to things without thinking them through.

Shii is messed up but y tf would dude go to jail for doin his job shii not a crime outside the nfl wtf😂😂😂

​@@Weimerica8841yes, like literally. hits are a part of the game but intentionally injuring players is physical assault

Happens in every sport. The former tour de france boss informed teams when drug controls came and hindered Investigations where he could. They even paid doctors so they said under oath there is no doping

@@kasperhauser4748 hiding doping vs brain damage is vastly different

They still do.

@@anthonyc2781try and read the very first sentence again. He’s talking about all sports having scandals and even gave an example

Dude I so agree with you you know yourself the saints were not the biggest scandal it was the CTE injuries! Look at the Saints versus 49ers NFC divisional playoff game where Pierre Thomas was hit in the head which now would be a targeting penalty and possibly thrown out of a game but yet no one talks about that! It's football these guys sign a contract that says the risk that's why they get paid the amount of money they do I work a dangerous job and I signed a contract. I work for a major airline and I know I can be injured in a sec. If you sign a contract you know what the risk are go Saints

@@rubberjohnny911 fax thats a fair hit

@@rubberjohnny911Not really what he’s saying. Maybe it is but i think he’s saying how did the offense specifically the Oline let their QB take a hit like that and they just stood there

I wholeheartedly agree

And his amnesia made him say "so what? That's football." Good hell, Warner.

Fuck a year long suspension they all shouldve been banned for life...NFL is a privilege once you take that privilege and manipulate it to purposefully cause injury you should never been allowed to play again

Exactly the saints only got the stick because they weren't supposed to win the super bowl, we all know that Tracy Porter went off script in both the NFC Championship game and the superbowl when he intercepted both favre & Manning to seal the game !!!

Dudes get paid millions to play a game

​@@mikebowling1378 exactly not to get injured for life and to never play again you see the problem now genius

But the patriots can openly cheat defeat balls and get away with it

@@mikebowling1378 And? So what, Captain Dicinmouth? So they should have their careers shortened and lives threatened because of some other player looking to get paid by some goof, for committing dirty cheap shots? You are the reason why homeschooling and inbreeding are generally frowned upon in this Country. Put your helmet back on, give mommy her phone back and go finish your fucking coloring book.

Williams cried like a baby when it came time to try and get his job back. He’s one of those weaklings who just talk tough because they’re not!

Ok he's not sorry. So what

much like the movie 300, the hunchbacks just dont understand whats going on on that field. You want them to make you roar, but when the friggin media portray it from the perspective of a pencil pushing dweeb, you all pile on. Its war on that field and only because of a coach sharing verbally, theatrics, nothing but theatrics, everyone piles on. The game is too fast, played on a field thats not grown with the players. This is a large part of the problem with many sports today. None of thes mofo's could catch Doug Flutie, but if they did.... The greatest hits are when one guy doesnt see it coming. Many QB's lack situational awareness because of the protection they are afforded. How would you all feel if the Quarterback just fell flat on his face when theres a turnover? To avoid a hit that hes entitled to if he pursues the ball... Isnt that what people want? To hear an apology. The game is a war, these guys say many things that would scare most of the non players who follow the game. Im sure he really wasnt interested in ending these mens careers... What a bunch of bored silly media fan boys people have become.....

You realize the large majority of apologies like that aren’t sincere right? When it comes to athletes, actors, & just about everyone else in the entertainment business, the statements put out are done by lawyers & PR teams. Ofc it’s not heartfelt or genuine.

2020's NFL is right up your alley Ahsan... it's pussy football, unwatchable

he shouldnt be sorry the NFL is soft so he paid his ppl a bit more for playing better? GEAUX SAINTS

Well it was known all around the league that bounty gate was a thing and all teams were doing it!!!

To me as a fellow lifelong saints fan, it makes me feel like our superbowl was cheap. Winning the superbowl at the cost of careers and potentially severely injuring people. Wish we could have won in 2018 just so that we had a superbowl unshadowed by the likes of Bounty Gate

That what I was thinking, there game checks had to be 10’s if not 100’s of thousands of dollars

It's not just money, it's about winning. If you injury the opponent's best players, you are more likely to win.

lol tell me you've never played ball without saying it

@@Mrsolodolo98 you've literally never played professional football so why does your opinion matter

@@DR.64A9 doesn’t make this right but then again we are talking about green men playing a game 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fax they ain’t ever care about cam

Fr I feel like its happened to Cam so much I wasn’t even surprised when I found out Cam was on the bounty list

@@donnysofree he was a whiny bitch who cares

@Bruce doesn’t matter bro oh my god. Panthers fans hate this argument. Every QB should get the same calls

Swear to god bro, I can probably count on one hand the amount of roughing the passer calls he got and he was getting roughed up like every pass lol

I’m not, Brett Favre is a scumbag

Did he also participate in bounty hunting at the University of Miami?

He's also a moron and is now one of the worst announcers in the NFL. Sucks that they let that bum ruin so many games

Fully agree I just feel like some this is just some guys hitting hard. It’s common knowledge for any player that if they get a free shot at the QB, take it. LEGALLY. A lot of these are legal, but there are a lot of bad ones.

Him calling out players in meetings is bad. But coaches say things like that a lot. They just don’t mean it literally

You people sound like victims

I think the reason he was able to come back to coach is that they are ones who got caught. Many teams did this stuff. If they didn’t, it would of been more shocking and those players, and coaches would never associate with the nfl again

"That feels?" Uh, it's immortal and illegal.

Yes, now that you mentioned it!!!

I was thinking the same thing, only $5K for injuring QBs. Basically pocket change to them considering I’m almost certain even nfl rookie contracts get at least $1-$2 million 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Who wouldn’t want a coach so dedicated? He’s arguably one of the best defensive coaches to ever play the game..

@@lilholographic722 He is a despicable human being. Here in Buffalo, he is still remembered for the pompous/know it all ass he was (and still is). He was bitter that he didn't get the head coaching job when he was in Cleveland and took his sad act to the Jets where he again knocked heads with the rest of the coaching staff and was fired after calling a ridiculous end-of-game full blitz and allowing the Raiders to beat the Jets. I hope he never coaches anywhere again

As a Saints fan I can only respect it. But more respect for Farve for not bitching about it. Kurt Warner too.😅⚜️

​​@@divineeternity7268I was a saints fan always until that season when they cheated so bad. Not anymore. I hate a cheater. Respect for what? The saints should have had to give the trophy back.

@@barbarahartzog7631 I disagree. They was only playing football in my opinion. Players are going to get hit and sometimes they are going to get injured. It's apart of the game. I can see if Drew Brees was inflating the footballs though.

@@divineeternity7268hits are part of the game, ending careers for money because you couldn’t bother making a defense that actually functions is not part of the game

Frank a dog, he knew the deal, that's why he played they way he did, he knew players were trying to hurt him, so his mentality was hurt them first.

What’s crazy is a lot played at the U together on the same team

@@barrymuzzleman1002I didn’t even think about that that’s wild

Yes. The NFL I grew up with is gone. The NFL has gone the way of the NBA….woke, money hungry, use players and throw them away. Feigning moral and ethical standards for mere optics…image… Sad reality is that money is God of NFL.

Who cares. You don't care about their safety, so stop being hypocritical

None of this is true. $1500 is not enough to motivate nfl players, that’s chump change

I am NFL hear me roar

That argument though about NFL caring only for money is counter-intuitive because if their star players are hurt then who replaces them, backup players? Without the stars then it will hurt their overall product, ratings and ticket sales and thus, their ability to make more money.

The Ring. And the sad truth is, it fucking worked. You're on a losing team for too long people start calling you a joke. Sometimes calling for your job, if not your head. You've been primed since college and told that the love of the game needs to come second to winning always. The only teams who can afford to have integrity are the teams that can win. Period. They wanted the ring. They wanted the Lombardi. They sold their souls to get it. Saddest part is, I don't think there is a single person on that Saints team who regrets it. I love watching football. Happy I never tried to go pro. Probably won't let my kids do it either.

@@gregdeandrea1450you cooked my man

@@gregdeandrea1450there were multiple other teams with a bounty system that year including the Vikings

@@LandonRobertsproof? Cause we got proof of the saints lmao

He should’ve been in prison for years imo. Paying money to injure guys is illegal and just because it was on a football field shouldn’t make them exempt from serious punishment for their actions.

@@dafuzzbear7711that’s actually so true. Half of these hits aren’t even abiding by the rules of the nfl, they’re just a guy taking advantage of being next to a dude that has a $1k bounty on his head.

​@@dafuzzbear7711 😂😂😂, too start if you think he was the only doing this or the mastermind...at least half the league was doing this at one point... at least 4-6 teams that season..... furthermore it's part of the game violence and injury a lot of the hits were actually clean, the violent side of football isn't new and has always been there so have bounties to an extent... your carrying a cross for people who don't ask you too... why have so many of the targets come out and said they don't care , maybe because everyone or a lot of guys behave like this aka it's part of the game... stop carrying a torch for people who don't want you to carry it...

Your name's goes but that give you chills. Haven't you ever coach youth football this is what I told my kids

It takes a real fucked up person to utter those words…

No. They had a plan and the plan was to hit just like it was the week before versus the Cardinals. And it was the same versus the colts in the SB. The only thing is the colts had better protection. Greg Williams is a guy who did lots of blitzing. They hit Favre as much as possible via blitzing because as Sharper his former teammate & as we all know Favre will throw around 4-5 dangerous passes & if you get to him he might throw more. He was intercepted 2 times now 1 he was high & low which was legal & wasn't penalized.. it was very close. That was the game plan it worked. Plus AP fumbled a lot a record amount in a championship game I believe the turnovers is why the Saints won. In today's game you can't even sneeze on the quarterback without getting a penalty. Now do I think the game plan is a little harsh... Yes. At the same time I didn't sign a waiver saying I knew football was a dangerous sport and that I could be injured at any time on the field. The game plan worked. Plus the crowd was loud. It caused a penalty on the Vikings thus putting them out of field-goal range. Then we all know what happened on the next play. One of the greatest plays and Saints history! Pick by Tracy Porter. OT Saints win a great game!

@@StarWars_Theories except Favre nearly snapping his ankle from 2 dirty hits also had a massive impact. When he rolled out and didn’t run it on that interception a big part of that decision can be blamed on his ability to run on that ankle. Greg Williams has always been a piece of shit. He has been at everyone of his coaching stops. His bounties showed a lack of respect towards the other players in the league and it’s why he has a bad reputation.

@@braydensoderholm7132 it wasn't dirty Favre even said it. It was a high & low hit at the exact same time. WKFAN even admitted the Saints were playing hard they knew what everyone knows that's Favre will throw a few dangerous passes plus all the fumbles. Game over!

Robe the Vikes from competing for a Superbowl.

@@TheMagarro Viks had 6 turnovers they lost end of story!

The Vikings had a bounty system as well and so did half the league.

@LandonRoberts doesn't make what the saints did right. Also, you do know artis hicks walked back those claims, right?

@@FecklessSpoon lol stfu 😂 if it wasn’t true he would’ve never said it in the first place. No if doesn’t make it right but it also shouldn’t make them the sole target of all the blame . They were just the scapegoat so the NFL wouldn’t have to punish the whole league. Similar to the Astros in 2017. More than 3 other teams were caught but instead of punishing all of them they inflicted light punishments but gave them all the spotlight to take away the blame for other teams

​@@LandonRobertsNope. Artis Hicks was misquoted and said later that the Vikings did not have a bounty program.

​@@FecklessSpoonHe's willfully ignorant.

It was about more than just money with the people that participated in it. They had there own agenda. You have to be an angy hateful person to do something like that.

Why are you shocked, what type of people are going to exel in a game like football? Of course they are, going to be desensitised to such actions for them it is good defense that's all. And by the way it happens in every team sports, if they are better than you technically you have to try to bully them, I don't even understand where is the scandal. 😂😂😂😂😂

@@nartali9683 sure!!!

He didn’t get in trouble because they found evidence of many other teams doing the same thing including the Vikings

@@nartali9683 Its called compassion. All the guys that were apart of this should feel compassion for other players because they dont want their careers ended over something that was completely unneeded. It just shows how sick some really are

You think a coach who paid his players to tackle with intent to injure should be punishable by law? Lol. Gtfoh bro.

That never happened bro. The results happened but I have every game from the Brees era & that isn't there maybe you thought that was being said.

There were 4 teams that participated in a bounty system not just the saints. Saints were the scape goat because they won the Super Bowl, kind of like the Astro’s after winning a championship. If they discipline one team then they have to discipline them all

You get paid millions to play a game and you shut up and take your money. Most of these dudes grew up with nothing.

more character than the whole saints team XD

Saints have always been a bunch of thugs.

Greg Williams is someone that should be shunned by not just the NFL, but every single sports organization in the world for what he pulled, as there's a deep drive into left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that will make it a 4-0 ball game.

Alex Smith had a few terrible injuries and I feel bad because he was doing super good during the season each time

Facts bro

I remember that Farve posted the pictures of all his brusing from those hits either right after the championship game or right after bountygate got revealed

Stay classy!

I was not a fan of Favre, because of who he used to play for, but as our QB it was disgusting what the Saints did to Favre. The players who did the hits should have been fired, banned and jailed.

As a saints fan 🤷‍♂️ who cares yall do realize he was gonna hit anyway the way this man painted it wasn't exactly how it went it was really more of a misguided attempt to get the defense to Play their hardest was it the right way hell no but acting like him getting hit gard ain't apart of football is a little silly

​@claudewillis234 hahahaha. "As a saints fan" I'm sure we're in the locker room and also looking at this objectively with no bias STFU

Lol

Exactly 💯

As someone born and raised in new orleans. I think this is a fair critique but you may have stretched it a good bit. The saints have always been an extension of the city of new orleans. This city lives and breathes the saints. Also Katrina greatly affected many of the players who had homes in the state, and familes and friends who had also been greatly affected by the distruction. Yea drew brees and many other incredibly wealthy individuals of the saints may have been completely fine, but there are a lot of members of the team who are not incredibly wealthy and are living day to day on practise squads and 3rd stringers.

Good one 😂

If you ain’t from there, don’t tell us how to feel about our own damn team 😂 no other city is as attached to a football team like we are.

Great TD play right there

I was thinking the same thing. It was such a late hit after he'd already scored. I'll never forget Smith taking the hit, getting up to celebrate, and then just absolutely manhandling Malcolm Jenkins.

Harper already discussed with Smith why he hit him on Smith’s podcast: he thought he was going to catch him before the endzone and when he saw he wasn’t at the 5 yd like, he figured he already gave his all to run him down, just as soon finish the play.

I too recall this particular play so many years ago now. I thought it was so unusual at the time but makes perfect sense now.

@@drumsforbumsthank you I was gonna say this too lol but I just remember they were trynna k*** Favre, knowing what he ended up doing I wouldn’t have been mad if they did now 😅

@@gorpim you sound like you’re a bench player on JV at your local shit high school football team😊

That's a great way to put it.

The 49ers weren't having that sht though. Big REVERSE card 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Except only a few guys on the defense are really making those big multi million dollar deals. The guys on special teams making league minimum gettin 1500-3k for de-cleating someone on kick off is substantial money to em and an incentive to play even harder. Colleges have always done this w/ helmet stickers. And actual cash at the bigger programs. But make a play or huge hit, and ya get a tag. End of the yr players helmets are covered. It’s the same thing. Football players are tryin to end careers every play and if ya think any different, you’re just kidding yourself. You think Lawrence Taylor wasn’t looking to end you when he lined up across from you? Ask Joe Theisman. And ppl actually feared LT and played different bc of it. It makes a difference when ya fear going across the middle, or get anxious droppin back to pass knowing real hitters are coming at you.

I know this is old, but I try to make this point every time I see this inconsistency. I think it is hypocritical to wish an equal amount of barbarism on someone as a form of punishment. We shouldn't rape rapists. We shouldn't beat abusers. We shouldn't steal from thieves. We should all try to be better than the things we despise. I don't have the answer for how people SHOULD be punished for immorality. If we want justice then people who do bad things should be forced to do good things. If we want revenge, we should do it your way.

@@tjanderson5892 Injuries are supposed to be a byproduct of football, not the goal you buffoon. That’s why players kneel after injuring an opposing player as opposed to celebrate. That argument that they’re always trying to hurt people is just lazy, dumb, and outdated

@@luckyduckfarms591 I won’t say it’s hypocritical at all, it’s a punishment for someone’s actions applying equal harm to what they themselves have done to another(s), personally if someone does something awful intentionally and consciously without a important or meaningful reason, if they get killed in prison I couldn’t less. But you can’t really deliver that same amount of punishment, would it even fair to do that it if it was say, by accident? No, but the rest of world isn’t very fair either, in your form of justice it wouldn’t be very fair to the victim of the crime if it was say, sexual harassment, assault or rape to later see their attacker out and about society just being forced to good things, knowing they can easily just do the same thing all over again without much stopping them, or get revenge on the victim for calling the police on them for their crimes. Which had sadly happened before when the police let someone go on probation after serving time and he immediately used that to find and kill his ex for ratting him out for sexually assaulting her. You can’t just hope to convince people to stop doing bad things or change them by making them do good things without just turning them into mindless husks of people that can’t even live normal lives because they’ve been continuously manipulated and broken. And if you could keep the person and their mind intact, often times you alter what makes that person themselves as well as remove those behaviors from the person, a individual and their behaviors are heavily connected with one another that remove from one, also removes from the other side, They’re just people that have those bad things ingrained in them and impacts who they are, it comes from their environment, to relationships, to experiences throughout their lives that can lead and reinforce awful behaviors and reinforce who they are, you can’t convince a serial killer to stop killing people and send them off into the world again but force them to do good things, you just have to hope that they stop getting the urge to kill people and live a normal life if you can’t find and identify them or kill/imprison them for life.

So every team and players ever. Because , like it or not, knocking players out is a good strategy to win and it's used by everyone

I don’t remember. What was it he said? To me their Super Bowl win is tainted the way they played just to get in it. Tagliabue & Goodell are spineless cowards.

What'd he say?

​@@loganraymond263nothing....

They should all be in jail, this is why I laugh when people preach ''da law" Funny how that system is only enforced on poor people ... It's totally legitimate though ...

agreed! there is a TOTAL & COMPLETE difference between hard hits, laying wood and "bang-bang" plays vs intentionally going out of your way to cheap shot a guy! reprehensible!! 😡

I agree, suspensions aren’t nearly as effective, look at schools all the way to elementary level. Some people learn their lesson, some people don’t. When you’re fired, your life instantly changed, and you need to show and prove that you’ve changed as a person, and you maybe deserve one more opportunity, or else you deserve to be done for good.

I totally agree. If the NFL is so adamant about player safety then these people need to be out of the game for good. Whoa. But Sean Payton is such a great coach. Is he? He won one Super Bowl and Williams was the DC at the "beginning" of the bounty scandal. Payton should not coach again, but he will. Williams is still around too. It's all about money, not player safety.

Best revenge, saints never making another Super Bowl nor winning back to back playoff games. Sean Payton not being hall of fame worthy because of Bountygate, potential hall of famers from the title team not getting the call now except Drew Brees (see Darren Sharper), & the return of the saints darkest days as a franchise.

They already know about it. Been happening forever and they found multiple other teams doing it at the same time as the saints including the vikings

​@@LandonRobertsNope. Artis Hicks was misquoted and said later that the Vikings did not have a bounty program.

It should be like that every game

Back like 40 years ago

Different era... Timeline matters

Greg Williams was on buddy’s staff.

Whitner put his ass to sleep

Irony is a he'll of a thing

Dirty hit

there were conflicting reports that Williams also ran this bounty gate scam while he was head coach at Buffalo

Winning is more important than any form of public decency. A recent trade proves that...

@@jayrodr897 Well stated.

Hell Belichick and Brady still in the league and they’ve been busted MULTIPLE times cheating lol….

@@philiptucker7590 Fair point

Well tbh he was an incredible D coordinator with some truly revolutionary schemes

Tbh he was a talented player, just didn’t care after a certain point

More like he was stuck on da bears

He had his moments, not a lot of them, but like three or four

@@funkmunkle McDaniels coming to Denver trading him to Chicago kinda changed him. The Denver version of him seemed to have unlimited potential. He was a different player inn Chicago. He got hit too much.

@@sheldonpegram8421 I thought cutler was good. When he went to the bears he just looked dead. Reminds me of Romo, where everyone hates on him but was better than average.

There was no covid jab back then. Damar wouldn't have collapsed in those days

@@greatskygeckos Someone clearly was dropped on their head lmfao.

@@zcraw4874 more than once.

@@zcraw4874apparently you. Look into heart problems with athletes induced by the covid shot it’s not a conspiracy. It’s a high fucking percentage.

@@greatskygeckos Facts. People really like to ignore how many people are just dropping from random heart problems AFTER taking the jab. Older people have it way worse, but pro players and regular people alike are facing similar numbers in terms of reported incidents.

😂🤣🤣

Keep laughing bitch

Us Chiefs fans and those poor Saints fans can attest to the heartbreak that happened between those 2 games, one haunted a franchise more so tho lmao, cuz we won the whole damn thing the very next year

Go rams

Y'all are hating on saints during that NFC Title game. It was OBVIOUSlY pass interference and Helmet to Helmet Contact on the play. That would made the Rams loose it's final Timeout and would have put the Saints on the 5 yardline Knowing Sean Payton he would run the ball and bleed that clock out until it reaches to 0:01.And Kick the Saints to the Super Bowl. Yes I'm a died hard Saints fan🟨⬛.I barely remember this so called "BountyGate" now of days the NFL is turning into a Defensive game. Look at 2021 season.Look at all the injuries and most of the injuries was big names.injuries are part of the game of sports. imagine y'all teams was the best of the league and went undefeated and made it to the title game and your team didn't made a single mistake and a team changing play happens and the Refs didn't call it. How would make you feel?????? Pissed off right!!!! So does the Saints have the right to be Pissed 💯 hell yes.

Didn't know this. Absolutely insane

Most teams had a "bounty system" that went like this, you knock someone out of the game you get paid. The Saints actually having team meetings pointing out injuries to marquee players and then telling their players to attack those specific injuries is pretty fucked.

@@iels7346 The Vikings even said they had a bounty gate system idiot

@@iels7346 not to mention saying to kill and rewarding going overboard extra hits and out of bounds knee shots

Darren sharper doing 20 plus years in prison

@James Roberts what does the crap he did off the field have to do with this though?
