Report: NFL to probe Redskins

[JonLP24]

The NFL reportedly will investigate claims that the Washington Redskins had a bounty program when Gregg Williams was the team's defensive coordinator, The Washington Post reported Sunday.

The NFL on Friday said an investigation by its security department found that Williams and several New Orleans Saints players employed an illegal bounty system, financially rewarding defensive players for big plays, including knocking opponents out of games during the 2009-11 seasons. After details of the NFL's probe were released, five former Redskins, including defensive end Phillip Daniels, and a former coach told The Washington Post that Williams had a similar system with Washington.

The newspaper reported that it was unclear if the Redskins would be held accountable if the NFL determines the team operated a bounty program under Williams.

Matt Bowen, who also played for Williams in Washington, wrote about the bounty system in a column for The Chicago Tribune on Friday, saying that he didn't regret taking part in the program.

1. It looks like the shit is starting to hit the fan.

Hmmm. That would been during the Joe Gibbs era. Wonder if Gibbs will be paterno'd.

2. What cracked me up on "The Herd" this morning...

Colin Cowherd is surprised because he's a Christian. Really? F*ck that crap.

Gibb claims no knowledge. I don't believe him. Colin says (screw Colin) that Gibbs never much cared for the defensive side of the ball. O'rlly?

3. I agree -- screw Colin

but what does Christian have to do with it(asking Colin)? I remember Bill Clements asked why he lied during the SMU football scandal he said, "Well, there never was a Bible in the room."

4. Yeah. Jim Tressel is a Christian and he had NO idea what was going on behind his back!

I gotta bridge I can sell you, Colin!
