Ocekujem tvoj mock draft ovih dana.......

Cemu taj smeh, sumnjas u moje Baba Vanga sposobnosti Bice extra zanimljivo otprilike do 5og pika, posle toga je samo za nas ludake I naravno bice zanimljivo za koliko ce Ramsi uvaliti drugog pika.

[Monta Ellis #11]

STL ima najbolje da prodje od svih ekipa na draftu ima da dobiju toliko pikova da nece znati sta ce sa njima ali bih voleo da im Minnesota uzme Kalil-a kao 3. pika pa posle neka gledaju Sam-a kako ga sekuju ko prosle godine.

I u opste ne sumljam u tvoje Baba Vangine sposobnosti......

[Nebojsa]

St Louis ce bez pojacanja u O liniji i draftovanjem Blackmona (i ostankom Lloyda), biti tim sa najboljim ofanzivnim oruzijima u NFC uz Saintse, i apsolutno bez mogucnosti da ih iskoriste zzbog nestabilnosti, verovatno i sa problemima sa povredama, pogotovo sa svilenim Samom.
Inace ako nas bude na Draft night otvoricu ja room na Chatzyu da na miru pricamo i zezamo se.

NFL says Saints created 'bounty' program from 2009-2011

After a lengthy investigation conducted by the NFL's security department, the league announced Friday that 22 to 27 defensive players on the New Orleans Saints maintained a "pay for performance" program that included "bounty" payments administered by then-defensive coordinator Gregg Williams during the 2009, 2010 and 2011 seasons.

The program runs in violation of league rules, and the investigation showed that Saints players received $1,500 for a “knockout” hit and $1,000 for a “cart-off” hit with payouts doubling or tripling during the team's three playoff appearances. The program also entailed payments for interceptions and fumble recoveries, which also violates league rules against non-contract bonuses. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will determine the appropriate discipline based on the investigation, the league said in a statement.

"The payments here are particularly troubling because they involved not just payments for ‘performance,’ but also for injuring opposing players,” Goodell said in a statement released by the league. “The bounty rule promotes two key elements of NFL football: player safety and competitive integrity.

“It is our responsibility to protect player safety and the integrity of our game, and this type of conduct will not be tolerated. We have made significant progress in changing the culture with respect to player safety and we are not going to relent. We have more work to do and we will do it.”

Goodell said the investigation began in 2010 after allegations were made that the Saints defenders had targeted Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre during their 2009 run to the Super Bowl.

"Our security department interviewed numerous players and other individuals," Goodell said. "At the time, those interviewed denied that any such program existed and the player that made the allegation retracted his earlier assertions. As a result, the allegations could not be proven. We recently received significant and credible new information and the investigation was re-opened during the latter part of the 2011 season.”

The investigation found the program was funded primarily by players and at one time might have reached $50,000. The league also said that other defensive coaches in addition to Williams, now the St. Louis Rams defensive coordinator, were aware of the program.

The report found that Saints head coach Sean Payton was aware of the allegations and did not make any inquires and failed to stop the program. The league also said that general manager Mickey Loomis at one time was directed to end the program when team owner Tom Benson was made aware of the league's findings, and he did not carry out Benson's directions.

"I have been made aware of the NFL’s findings relative to the 'Bounty Rule' and how it relates to our club," Benson said in a statement. "I have offered and the NFL has received our full cooperation in their investigation. While the findings may be troubling, we look forward to putting this behind us and winning more championships in the future for our fans."

The Saints have gained a reputation in league circles as a dirty team in recent years, and Vikings running back Adrian Peterson said this past season that the Saints targeted his high left ankle sprain.

"I felt like it kind of got overboard," Peterson said at the time. "I got up and kind of got in his face. Thank God I was able to keep my composure."

The Saints denied Peterson's claims.

Saintsi tagovali Brees-a. Da li to znaci da ce Nicks i Colston da odu u neke druge krajeve?

[Nebojsa]

Yep, they `re screwed.

[Ljuba90]

Yep, they `re screwed.

Kakvi mentoli...trebali su da taguju Nicksa i da daju Brees-u sta god pozeli,a samo Colstona da puste...Ipak ima tu ko da hvata loptu.

[Nebojsa]

Hteli su da ustede na njemu, i sada ce verovatno i njega izgubiti sledece sezone. Mislim da sada Saints sada ispadaju iz kombinacija za NFC za neko vreme.

Ma oni su svoje zavrsili...Bas me zanima sta ce luda Fila da uradi u offseasonu i na draftu. Oni,Cowboysi i Giantsi ce da se kolju sledece sezone.

[Nebojsa]

Dodaj tu mozda i Washington ako dovedu Peytona, sto sada izgleda veoma moguce. NFC East ce onda biti ubistven, svaki mec ce biti derbi.
