    That's funny. I HOPE our defense targets opposing QBs. How can you really prove they aren't just playing hard to make an impact on defense? That's a tough one.

    Bounties usually entail payment. That's how they'll prove it.

    Well, the recent precedent for a case like this is Spygate. That got huge fines, and a loss of a 1st round pick, but that was it. Let's see what this gets, especially with the NFL stressing player safety. Saints don't have a 1st this year.

    This is different than Spygate since that involved one team actively cheating, and this involves one team trying to actively injure other players. I honestly don't know what the NFL finds worse.

    Payment, plus there are enough players who played there that are no longer Saints that I'm sure a few people are snitching.

    That Viking-Saints playoff games was one of the dirtiest games I have ever seen. The Saints appeared to be purposely taking shots at Favre after the play was over.

    They probably are, too. Remember, Gregg Williams is a Buddy Ryan disciple.

    Interesting. NFL probably going to come down hard especially with the focus on player safety recently.
