Wow, Taints indeed

Ok, this is not really Lions related but during the whole "bounty" a lot of people wondered why the NFL didn't release more of their proof. I remember thinking and saying, back then, that the NFL was probably trying to keep the information secret for two reasons.

1) They were trying to protect the "snitches"

2) They didn't want the whole picture to damage the NFL any further than necessary.

Well, something changed because the players suspended kept pushing and you can see a ton of the information now.

NFL memo to the clubs

More information than I ever expected to get concerning the reasoning for the suspensions and the people who gave them the information they needed to hand down the suspensions.

Slide show detailing the information

and

Another set of slides detailing "cart offs"

even putting the number of the players involved....

Lots to digest here but I think the transparency that people wanted from the NFL concerning the bounties and the extent of them is starting to happen. What do you think?
