Bounty-Gate. The Quicker Shutter-Upper

I’m sick and fricking tired of Bounty-Gate, the draft is still nearly 3 weeks out, and the Niners still haven’t signed a RG to replace Adam Snyder. Other than that, there’s not a lot to report regarding the Niners. Oh, the big news is that the Niners re-signed WR Swett Brain to another one year deal.

And Brandon jacobs officially signed his Niner contract. Other than that, it’s snoozeville, USA. Quite the contrast to last year’s histrionics over the lockout and ensuing weirdness.

Uh, see below for more Bounty-Gate news.

Still no word how much or how badly the players will get fined. I wonder if Carlos Rogers is a little on edge. He was ‘aware’ of the bounty program as a member of the Redskins during Williams’ time there. I doubt anything comes of Gregg’s time in DC, but who kbnows?

    Per the Internets, Roger “the Hammer” Goodell upheld the suspensions of the Saints powers that be (GM Micky Loomis [8 games], HC Sean Payton [1 year] assistant HC Bobby Vitt [6 games], and departed DC Gregg Williams [indefinite]). However, Goodie Goodell also said that if these guys ‘meaningfully participate in spreading the good word about what bad boys they were, and how we should all play a nice clean violent game,’ then he may reduce the fines and give back the 2013 and/or 2014 2nd round draft picks which are now scheduled to go away.

    Long live the king.

    I’m assuming but really not too sure Chuck… Could be irony and sarcasm are gettin’ a nice start here in blogland? I’m for that and for bad boys fessin’ up and good clean violence in my sports. Serious, that’s why I like the NFL… but bounties, naw.

    That what Goodell said, Phil. Whether or how he quantifies how these guys have come around remains to be seen. I wonder what the Saints players are thinking. Especially LB John Vilma. He seems to be the poster boy for the bounty system in place in NO. At least among the players.
