((ht: yahoosports/cole))Why?
It just seems to be getting worse...and worse.
Just a week after Anthony Hargrove (now with the Packers), Jonathan Vilma and other Saints were suspended for their involvement with the New Orleans Bounty program, comes word today from Yahoo Sports that Hargrove signed a statement admitting being told to deny his involvement.
Yahoo's Jason Cole says that a declaration provided to the NFL by of all groups, the NFLPA quotes Hargrove as saying he was told in 2010 by coaches Gregg Williams and Joe Vitt that if were to be asked about any sort of "Bounty" system with the Saints, he should deny it.
The NFLPA says they provided the league the document to prove the players were acting under orders, but it what it does...is admit everyone's guilt.

OK.
This is getting stupid now.
We understand the NFLPA trying to stick up for their players, but they in fact are digging a deeper hole here. Yes, it sucks that Hargrove, Vilma and others are going to have to lose their livelihoods...albeit for a finite amount of time (they'll still make more than you and I ever will).
Really...while we get their attempt at trying to defend, this document admits their guilt. And everyone else involved. Just because they were allegedly pressured by coaches to deny participating doesn't make them any less guilty of doing it. Does it?
No, at this point everyone involved with this issue just needs to shut up. They just need to take their punishment like men, apologize and move on. The more they complain and try to prove their innocence, the deeper the hole gets.
Really guys.
Enough already.
