The reality is that Goddell got his face pushed in largely because he tried to take what it was (a pay for play program) and make it into something it actually wasn't (a bounty list).
Basically the Saints paid each other a few hundred bucks to do what every defensive player is trying to do anyway (hard hits, turnovers).
Anyone who thinks it was a legit bounty system is drinking the NFL's kool aid. That was about image and optics while a class action lawsuit bares down.
