New Orleans Saints Case Study

111 Words1 Page

The New Orleans Saints bounty scandal was an incident in which affiliates of the New Orleans Saints franchise were suspected of paying out "bounties", for injuring the opposite team. The pool of athletes was suspected to have been in progress from 2009 to 2011. During the offseason in 2010, an unidentified player told NFL execs that the Saints had targeted two players as part of a bounty program. Knockouts were worth $1,500, and cart-offs netted $1,000. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who left the Saints for the Saint Louis Rams in the off-season, coached all four teams (Byrne, 2012). The NFL 's security unit found the accusations reliable enough to start an investigation.

    St. Louis Rams’ rookie running back Todd Gurley, the 10th overall pick of this year’s draft, is expected to miss the first few games of the new season to allow complete healing of his ACL injury suffered during his college stint at the University of Georgia in November last year.

" The report also stated, “It is more probable than not that Tom Brady was at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities of McNally and Jastremski involving the release of air from Patriots game balls. " This investigation conducted by Ted Wells clearly lacked thorough evidence since Wells made vague claims throughout his report. These terms included “more probable than not” and “generally aware” when he made accusations. Although he is a well-respected and qualified lawyer, he accused Jim McNally, John Jastremski, and Tom Brady of wrongdoing based on a possibility of them being involved in deflating footballs without strong and clear evidence.
