Yes, I thought that the league really had something on the Saints in bountygate, on the Dolphins in bully-gate, on the Redskins and Cowboys for violating a salary cap that actually didn't exist at the time, and so on.
Did I ever read up on the facts in those scandals? No way. I stupidly trusted the media to give me a nice short summary! It seems like we only take the time to learn the facts when it is our team being scapegoated. My eyes are opened now.
Post-spygate, I did make a point of learning the details of bountygate, and... yeah, it was BS.
That said, even knowing it was crap, I still didn't care or have any sympathy for the Saints, because as I recall none of them stood up for us during Spygate. I definitely never thought we'd be back on the chopping block over yet another manufactured scandal just a couple years later.
