Listening device in GM's suite used to eavesdrop on visiting coaches, allegedly.  If true it would not only a violation of NFL rules, but potentially a federal crime.

The time frame protects him from criminal charges.

I wonder what evidence there is for this. The ESPN report is pretty detailed in what devices he had available to him to eavsdrop.

If true,

At least a $750,000 fine and first rounder (whenever the heck they actually have one again).

That just seems to be a corrupt organization.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

I think Roger Goodell needs to watch, "Pony Excess" to determine the appropriate punishment for this organization

I thought Lousiana was notorious for being corrupt on all levels. Not shocked by this at all, but they need to bury this organization even more. This is beyond spygate stuff. In fact it pales in comparison.

With an electronic device it is.

Also, any people or teams that were allegedly eavesdropped upon with an electronic device have the ability to sue the New Orleans Saints for damages incurred upon them due to this matter in civil court.

Now THAT should be interesting.

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
That just seems to be a corrupt organization.

They seem to match up with the city's police department pretty well...frankly, I think they should try it all over again in Baton Rouge.

Love it. Hope that org goes through a 50 year rebuild and even then I'd not be satisfied.
Back to wanting Joe fired.

Even if proven they won't get half as much hate as the Pats

The New Orleans Saints is a slightly more ironic term than Meta World Peace
