New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees on Wednesday strongly criticized the way NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell handled the investigation into the bounty case, saying the league was all about an outcome and not a fair process, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Brees said he wants the league to be held accountable and that Goodell has has "little to no credibility" with NFL players right now.
Brees said he hates to sound like "conspiracy theorist" but said since former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue has been involved the process has been very "staged," like, 'how do we get out of this mess?'"
Brees said he thinks punishments against coaches, organization were still too much.
Brees referred to the league's primary two witnesses, former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and defensive assistant Mike Cerullo as "two guys who were fired from here because they didn't fit the mold" and he questioned where the two are "mentally" at this point.
Brees said he doesn't feel it's just to base entire case on the two assistants' claims.
When asked if he thought the season was stolen, Brees said: "Many might say that, but I'm not one to make excuses." Source: The Redzone Attached Thumbnails
