QUOTE OF THE DAY
"These are serious violations and we understand the negative impact it has had on our game." Payton and Loomis said in a joint statement Tuesday, "Both of us have made it clear within our organization that this will never happen again, and make that same promise to the NFL and most importantly to all of our fans."
— A joint statement released by New Orleans head coach and general manager Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis on March 6 about their involvement in "Bounty-gate".
FACT OF THE DAY
There were 50,000 pages of evidence describing a bounty system under former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams that involved between 22 and 27 players.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Where did Greg W
coaching job?
A: He was Belton (Mo.) High School's head coach from 1984 to 1987. Belton is about 51 miles away from Lawrence.
THE MORNING BREW 'Bounty-Gate' infamy damages sport
After arriving home from an extensive study session at Watson Library earlier this week, I flipped on Sports Center to get caught up all the fantastic college basketball finishes I had missed.
Instead of enjoying the highlights I found myself muting the television.
ESPN began showing a roundtable to discuss the current New Orleans Saints bounty scandal. It was the usual group of analysts: Tedy Bruschi, Marcellus Wiley, Steve Young and Tom Jackson — just to name a few. All of them had different opinions, and after two minutes, I couldn't take it anymore.
Last Friday, the NFL produced evidence that "between 22 and 27 Saints players," as well as former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, pooled their own money to pay out performance bonuses for injuring opposing players and knocking them out of the game.
The report also stated current coach Sean Payton and current general manager Mickey Loomis knew of the bounty system and did nothing to stop it when the Saints owner Tom Benson ordered them to do so.
There have always been bounties since
the creation of football, but it was never anything of this magnitude.
Now, with this news from New Orleans, several other players that Williams coached with the Buffalo Bills, Houston Oilers and Washington Redskins have come forward and said bounty systems were in place while he was coaching for those programs, as well.
Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner, and Brett Favre were all targets of the bounty program.
Former Colts coach Tony Dungy told Dan Patrick on Monday's Dan Patrick Show that he now suspects Williams may have put a bounty on Manning before an October 22, 2006 game between the Colts and the Redskins. Williams was the defensive coordinator of Washington at the time.
During that game, Manning suffered from a hit, which many suspect caused the neck problems he suffers from today.
I've read dozens of columns, trying to form my opinion on this situation. I've read a lot about the anger, animosity and hypocrisy of the NFL. All of these points are true, and all of them are deserved.
Payton and Loomis need to be fired from the Saints' program. The NFL continues to display their new concussion policy while showing us constant replays of players in the very next frame. It's the constant balance we deal with while getting enjoyment out of one of the most profitable sports leagues in the world.
Charles P. Pierce, a contributing writer for grantland.com, summed up the entire situation best in his piece on Monday: "What we have here now is the face of organized savagery, plain and simple, and no amount of commercials showing happy kids cavorting with your dinged-up superstars can ameliorate any of that."
We're at a crossroads as football fans. We love the game,but because of social networking and 24/7 reporting,we learn more and more about the horrors that surround America's favorite Sunday
entertainment.
But what pisses me off the most about the "Bounty-Gate" scandal is the morals of the people running the Saints. They don't care about the integrity of the game. They don't care about setting a good example for the next generation of football players. They care about flaunting their money through male testosterone, because winning isn't enough.
I just hope the NFL does the right thing and makes an example of these people.
"Bounty-Gate" will continue to develop throughout the week, although the Peyton Manning sweepstakes will sweep it under the rug for the next few days. But this issue is far from being over.
More details will surface,but in the end the damage has been done.
