It'll be interesting if they ask him about his contract situation.

It was on last night. Leno did. Brees said he will not sign the franchise tender at all. And he did not deny the bounties took place.

[Jangler]

Yeah, he even got applause for saying players shouldn't try and hurt other players in any game. how cute.

[Hawk]

if he doesn't sign his tag, what happens?

serious question because brain is on vacation

[Kettle]

pretty sure that's a hold out. being tagged keeps him from going elsewhere.

[The Saltman]

under the new cba holdouts are a lot harder to accomplish...but he is moleface nontheless

[Johnny Rockets]

Am I the only one that doesn't see what the big deal is about this whole Bounty thing? The whole thing seems pretty silly to me especially with the amount of money that was involved. It's not like it was a real incentive. Sh*t has been going on for years. Back when Buddy Ryan did it in 1989 it was damn near applauded by the media, coaches, players, and fans....now everyone is so p*ssy hurt by it. I just don't get it.

[Hawk]

I agree JR...I think the fact that coaches etc were involved is what makes it so much worse...I'm sure all teams have some sort of bounty/reward system in place

[Kettle]

The difference between now and then is mainly Goodell.

[The Saltman]

Im ok with bounties for stats like sacks, big hits, ints and all. But are you guys saying you are ok with bounties to injure players or get them out of the game? Im sure if you were a player that got injured because of this and couldn't play anymore you would be singing a different toon.

not saying I am ok with it Salty...I'm just saying I'm pretty sure it happens everywhere...maybe just between groups, or buddies or whatever.

I just think all teams do it....what's the difference between that and going after the injured ankle of a player to get him out of a game? All players do that and it's accepted. That's why teams will tape up both ankles of a player to try and mask which is the injured one.

I know times have changed and with player safety such a hot topic something has to be done. No argument there but...

I guess just reading some of the threads around here and the unhealthy obsession a handful of people have with it (and all things Saints I guess) makes it seem like it is the biggest scandal in NFL history. I haven't been watching much Sportscenter in the last month or two so all I have to go on is what I see here but it is almost as if Gregg Williams and Co. nailed Christ back to the cross. (My apologizes to those offended by my distasteful reference).
