Anscheinend haben die New Orleans Saints unter Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams ein Kopfgeld auf Verletzungen von Spielern ausgesetzt: 1500 USD gab es für einen "Knockout"-Hit und 1000 USD immerhin, wenn ein Spieler vom Feld gefahren werden mußte...

ZitatGoodell said the investigation began in 2010 after allegations were made that the Saints defenders had targeted Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre during their 2009 run to the Super Bowl.
"Our security department interviewed numerous players and other individuals," Goodell said. "At the time, those interviewed denied that any such program existed and the player that made the allegation retracted his earlier assertions. As a result, the allegations could not be proven. We recently received significant and credible new information and the investigation was re-opened during the latter part of the 2011 season.”
Heftige Sache.
