Saints in BIG trouble...

[Floppin]

Mike Ornstein is a former marketing agent for Reggie Bush and was, at least at one point, a close friend of New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton. More importantly than that, he is a really sketchy guy. Back in 2010, Ornstein pled guilty to "one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, interstate transportation of stolen property, money laundering and one count of mail fraud" after he conspired to scalp Super Bowl tickets. Ornstein had previously been convicted of mail fraud in 1995.

Despite all of this, he was very close with the Saints organization. So close, in fact, that he contributed to Gregg Williams' bounty program. Oh, and he was stupid enough to talk about it in an email to Payton.

According to CBS Sports NFL reporter Mike Freeman, who has acquired details of a memo sent to all NFL teams regarding the Saints bounty program, Ornstein contributed large sums of money to bounties on multiple occasions and placed details of the bounty system in an email to Payton. He detailed a $5,000 bounty in that email. In 2009, Ornstein put down $10,000 towards a bounty on an opposing quarterback. He also contributed to a QB bounty on two separate occasions in 2011.

The Saints not only had a bounty program where players were paid to injure opponents, but they allowed a convicted felon to contribute to it. Spectacular

Ha Saints fans are delusional.

.

This is absolute nonsense. I cant believe the league is trying to punish the Saints for something 32 teams do. As someone else said this looks like a coordinated effort to go after the Saints because they aren't in New York or Boston. What a joke.

Pi for Sho Nuff! Shogun of Harlem!

Seriously though, if the IRS gets involved and something happens that the Leage as a whole gets impacted in a significant and negative way....There should be no mercy in how they deal with New Orleans. Absolutely no quarter.

I'm spent.

LOL at the League coming out with this moving right into the Free Agency window as the Saints are struggling to keep major pieces of the team intact. It's like they are telegraphing that draft picks will be taken away and forcing them to twist in the wind for everyone to see. This is turning out to be a huge story.

Gregg Williams should be put in the same cell with Jerry Sandusky and forced to wear a picture of a 10 year old over his face.

I wonder if we had a bounty on McNabb in 03 when that one guy i think it was Cousins dove into his ribs.

Hahahah

Makes you wonder if Cam was one of those 2011 targets, perhaps in the season finale? Or maybe it was the playoff opponents - Stafford and Smith.

Either way: swag > bounties

what taints fans fail to realize is that whether the team is guilty of innocence no ones gonna look at that franchise the same anymore. Just like someone accusing you of fuging a tranny, it doesn't matter if you did or didn't the idea that you may have taken it up the ass in gonna but in people minds everytime they see you.
