4. I think if you love the Saints (or you simply can't agree with the league coming down on them like a ton of bricks for the bounty scandal), know this: The number of players involved in concussion- or head-trauma-related lawsuits against the NFL now is 1,186. Someday those cases are going to get to a courtroom somewhere. And someday Roger Goodell is probably going to have to testify about what an attorney will say is the NFL's lax approach to player safety. Don't think those sanctions were made in a vacuum. SATCH NOTE: OK. So, how does that justify the ton of bricks? Why should the Saints alone take the hit in order to help Goodell cover his ass in the future?

We had no control of the content and did not make a determination on the method of its release.
