SkinFaninOKC Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 He does have to check the other teams IMO. It would not be fair to the league if the Saints were the only team investigated if other players from other teams admitted as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsince72 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 meh.......he basically said they will continue to investigate if any new evidence is brought forward. And that's the right thing to do in this case. He would be stupid to overreach on this, especially now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prototype Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Why doesn't the Federal Court investigate how much of a **tty commissioner you have been during your reign? Im sure they could find quite a few things you've done that hasn't been "in the good spirit", you ******* prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0crates Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Graziano is also reporting on this: http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/37468/goodell-bounty-investigation-remains-open PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Last week, when the NFL imposed discipline against the New Orleans Saints and former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams for the bounty program that went on in New Orleans, I wrote that the Washington Redskins were in the clear. In spite of Washington's having once employed Williams as its defensive coordinator and been part of the league's investigation into the bounty matter, the league's release announcing the Saints' penalties seemed to indicate that Williams' former employers were not at risk of being penalized. When I asked a league official whether the Redskins were in the clear, that official referred me to that section of the release. However, when asked about this very issue at his news conference Monday evening at the NFL owners' meetings, commissioner Roger Goodell left open the possibility that further information could come to light that could implicate people and teams who have not been implicated. "We haven't closed the investigation," Goodell said. "We haven't stopped investigating, and if we get new information, we'll act on it. We're not saying everybody's got a free pass here. If we get credible information, we're going to follow up on it." Potential leverage in the cap penalty case? I would think so. The Redskins and Cowboys are holding good cards, but the league has a hand to play too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Man. Well I don't think it matters the Saints were flat out told to stop it and did not. I don't think I have seen anywhere that the Redskins or Williams when in DC was warned. I think this is a ploy and yes Roger is out to get the Redskins for whatever reason. ---------- Post added March-26th-2012 at 09:04 PM ---------- Somebody send him the NFL Films video where Deacon Jones says that he's paid to knock QB's out of games. Maybe the Rams can give up the draft picks we just donated to them. Donating for a worthy cause. haah. Deacon crapped bigger than Godell is.

Mara is just afraid because when the Skins organization, talent, and coaching all matches up to quality and excellence ( which I think is coming sooner rather than later) he knows the Skins will be a consistent power in the NFC.

grego Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 so, what if he finds it was going on with the redskins? gibbs isnt here. williams isnt here. are they going to punish dan snyder? that would be ludicrous, but, then, its par for the course from what we are seeing.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'm not worried either...none of us should be. Goodell might use the threat of bounty punishment sometime down the road to "persuade" the Skins from pushing the cap sanction issue too far, but unless there's a whole cache of written and electronic evidence that the Skins as an organization--and not just Williams--promoted and sanctioned a bounty program while Williams was on staff, the Redskins are 99% in the clear here.

Burgold Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 This is clearly a shot over the bough by the league. I wonder if it can be used against them though. If one week they say the Redskins have been cleared and will not be penalized and then a day after they file for arbitration Goodell announces that they are reopening the investigation... it sure looks dirty.

Bibby Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I thought a statement was released that this investigation was closed? I guess this is just a ploy to save NFLs butts from being taken to court. It's this kind of threat that gives me confidence we will win our case.

I tend to agree, but the league would surely argue that a bounty case was pursued in light of new information. Of course we would know better, but what is said and what is true are two different matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. And really, all Goodell is saying in the article is that the NFL will continue to investigate whenever new information is brought forward.
