Indeed.
I used to hate Mike Florio, but I've been coming around to him since he seems to be a lone voice in the wilderness regarding the Saints bounty allegations. He's not reporting whatever the league states as fact, but is actually looking past the surface. It's almost like he remembered that he is/was a lawyer.
“Explosive, compelling” bounty evidence is also irrelevant if not given to NFLPA on Friday
Reporters saw what players saw during bounty hearing
Again, if they had a bounty program in effect, the punishments fit the crime. If the program did exist, they were woefully poor at actually knocking out/carting off anyone during the years in question.
I'm probably guilty of wanting to see some "smoking gun". Which, in this instance, obviously doesn't have to be up to the same standards as a court of law. People get suspended/fined/fired for much less every day. I just hope that people aren't assuming the NFL is being completely forthright and not protecting their own interests at the expense of others.
