31 TEAMS SHARE SIGH OF RELIEF WHILE SAINTS TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM

With the NFL expected to send down some harsh punishments for those involved in the so-called "bounty scandal", players from the other 31 teams sent out a collective "Thank you guys!" as well as a public, preemptive approval for whatever penalties the league decided to hand out.

Former Saints defensive coordinator Greg Williams is seen
apologizing to linebacker Jonathan Vilma for a promised
bounty payment he was apparently trying to renege on. 

Not one player rep from any of the other teams could explain why the Saints, and the Saints alone, were being targeted by the commissioner.  It should also be stated that we struggled to find any players who disapproved of the league's treatment of the Saints.
"I have no idea why they're pickin' on the Saints," an inebriated spokesman for the NFC South rival Falcons began, "and I don't give a shit why they're pickin' on the Saints, jus' so long as they're only pickin' on the Saints."
No one is disagreeing that the Saints are being singled-out, and to say the Saints are being unfairly treated is an understatement.  But in recent years, if there's any city that's used to getting completely fucked over by people in authoritative positions, its New Orleans.
