REMINDER: THE SAINTS lNTENTIALLY INJURED BRETT FAVRE IN THE 2009 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME


Recommended Posts

Yep it was straight garbage,..

actually the last sack before the interception,.. that was the high low, double sack and they seriously tried to kill him, spear tackled. Even with 2009 rules, Manning, Brady or anyone else would have gotten the roughing penalty and that would have been game over.

Brett was yesteryears Cam Newton,..

REMINDER: THE NFL COULDN’T PROVE ANY OF THEIR PAY-TO-INJURE CLAIMS AND ALL PLAYER SUSPENSIONS WERE OVERTURNED DUE TO THERE NOT BEING A SINGLE SHRED OF CREDIBLE EVIDENCE TO SUBSTANTIATE THEIR ERRONEOUS CLAIMS (WHICH WERE ULTIMATELY DISPROVEN THROUGH INJURY REPORT DATA)

Oh, and there’s the whole thing where Brett Favre himself considers it a sham. 

CBS: Favre calls Saints’ bounty allegations “just hearsay”

I think I’ll side with the source on this one, pal.

Tagliabue dumped the players suspensions putting the bulk of the blame on the coaches, but his comments in no way said there was "NOT A SHRED OF CREDIBLE EVIDENCE".

Quote

Tagliabue vacated the players' suspensions, saying in his ruling, "I affirm Commissioner Goodell's factual findings as to the four players. I conclude that Hargrove, Smith and Vilma—but not Fujita—engaged in 'conduct detrimental to the integrity of, and public confidence in, the game of professional football ..." He laid primary responsibility for the scandal on Williams and Payton

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
