Injury stats irrelevant to existence of bounty program | ProFootballTalk
From the league’s perspective, a program that encourages players to try to inflict injuries legally and through "clean" hits has no place in a game that is trying its damnedest to be as safe as reasonably possible. For reasons that we still can’t discern, the league never has explained the situation that simply and clearly.

William Roaf Discusses Being Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame
"...At least before I left the Saints, we won a playoff game in 2000, the first one they won. You get Sean Payton and Drew Brees (now) and they are going to call this (current) period the golden years because these are some great years in Saints football history. The Saints are making everybody proud, the way they have been playing since 2006. I had a chance to finish with some real good offensive teams in Kansas City and do a lot of thing when I left New Orleans. I am glad that I got a chance to finish up on a high note and play with some good teams at the end of my career, especially some good offenses."
