Saints hire Freeh's firm to conduct internal probe

METAIRIE, La. (AP) The New Orleans Saints have hired a firm run by former FBI director Louis Freeh to conduct an internal investigation of the NFL club with the aim of getting to the bottom of allegations ranging from wire-tapping during games in the Superdome to the bounty scandal.
''Serious allegations have been made about our organization this offseason; we take these allegations very seriously,'' Saints spokesman Greg Bensel wrote in an email.
Bensel says the hiring of the Freeh Group, first reported Friday by NBC's Pro Football Talk, is part of Benson's effort ''to leave no stone unturned.''
Benson ''has spared no expense to get to the bottom of these allegations,'' Bensel said. ''We have given the Freeh Group complete access to our team and all of the individuals who have been associated with'' the alleged wrongdoing.
The Freeh Group's initial focus is expected to be on wire-tapping allegations currently under investigation jointly by the Louisiana state police and the FBI.

Hey, Mr Freeh...Just lettin' you know that I'm buying breakfast for any Saints player who knocks an opposing player out of the game for at least one series.

The Abita Springs Cafe bounty program has been under way for a while...just sayin'.

 

My offer for a piggyback ride down Bourbon Street still stands, except for the lineman.

 

Ok, now a piggy back ride seems like too much b_leblanc LOL Besides, for most of those guys, linemen or not, it might take two people LOL

 

It'll probably be too much for my back lol

 

The silence is because they bugged Loomis" office as part of the investigation and they can't hear him too well when everyone in CT is talking......Shhhhhhhh !

 

Good for Benson. I have been extremely critical of him in the past, but ever since Brees has gotten here, and the Saints have been legit, Benson has been a different character. It's good to see him fight against the NFL on this. I'm glad Jonathan Vilma is standing up to these bullshit charges as well.

 

Roger Goodell doesn't want to see a team even remotely have a chance at a "home game" in a super bowl. Smear campaign to even the playing field if you ask me.

 

I think we all knew when the story broke that it was bogus. Just some hack ESPN 'reporter' (and I use that term loosely) trying to make a name for himself by talking to anyone even remotely affiliated with the Saints organization until he found someone willing to give him some dirt. Nevermind that there wasn't a shred of credibility to the story. Pure slander of Loomis and the Saints by everyone looking to pile on.

I've heard that before, but don't understand the reasoning behind it. If it happened, it seems like it would hype the game even more, if that's even possible.
