Bounty On Newton Was $5000

Offered by Mike Ornstein, per this article from the New York Times: Dealmaker Leaves Fingerprints on Another Scandal

The first e-mail was sent to New Orleans Saints* Coach Sean Payton on Sept. 3 from the federal prison system’s minimum-security camp in Florence, Colo. It promised $5,000 for Saints* players who delivered hard hits on Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the N.F.L.’s season-opening game a few days later.

The second message, sent a month later after the writer had been transferred to a halfway house, pledged $5,000 for hits on Carolina quarterback Cam Newton when the Saints* faced the Panthers.

That would have been for week five of last season.

Pretty sure that was the second game. Didn't he do that in the Dome?

Yeah, I think that was the later game.

I wonder, however, if this would have been the game where Smith was told by a Saints* player that he had to go after his legs.

I do remember a questionable sideline hit on Smith, but I don't recall which game it was in.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
