“Clearly, we were lied to,” Goodell said. “We investigated this back in 2010, we were told it was not happening, it continued for another two years until we got credible evidence late in the 2011 season and we were able to identify significant information that verified from multiple sources that this was going on for a three-year period.”4/26/2012

Well that would do it. Not over the top IMO if they flat out lied to Goodell about this 2 years ago.

Well that changes things BIG TIME. Now I can see even more why they nailed them to the wall for this. Originally Posted by MoOff24

It's the lie and cover-up that always get's ya. Just come clean and fall on your sword, it will be that much easier. Originally Posted by LionSB06

So do the Saints have a 1st rounder next year in the draft? It would be a perfect scenario for the Saints to get the next franchise QB. Is it right to Bree's, hell no! Although he would get paid huge ala Manning.
Any word on when Goodell is going to lower the boom on players?S.I. member #432

If they had come clean 2 years ago this probably wouldn't have been more than a slap on the wrist and maybe a game or 2 for Williams. Originally Posted by FastFreddie

Wow. Every sport (even the almighty NFL) is dirty as hell!
It makes no sense being pessimistic, it wouldn’t help anyway!

I imagine they probably would have gotten one step above a slap on the wrist in comparison. Originally Posted by FastFreddie

I guess the only difference is that the other teams in the league didn't get caught and lie about it...yet. Originally Posted by LionSB06

As a league, you can't talk player safety is our top concern out of one side of your mouth and then condone or turn a blind eye out the other.
