Cerullo's hiring was one of two Saints items to make national news on their Sunday off following the Thursday game. In the game Thursday, which featured several questionable calls against the Saints, one of the officials was a former Falcons player, though the official's history indicates he has no clear bias. Phil McKinnely , who has been an official since , played for the Falcons from as well as the Rams in and Bears in Before providing the NFL's explanation for the change, though, it's worth noting the Saints were previously against the Falcons in games in which McKinnely worked.
The game flipcard didn't initially list McKinnely as the down judge, but it has since been updated. That flipcard was incorrect, which is why listing you saw was incorrect. When asked during those appeal hearings what motivated him to come forward, Cerullo said: "I was angry for being let go from the Saints.
Vitt, meanwhile, testified that Cerullo lied about family emergencies while taking two personal leaves of absences during that season and referenced a time when Payton needed to ask for police protection for his family when he was out of town because he considered Cerullo a threat.
Vilma's attorneys made similar accusations about Cerullo's work performance. Cerullo later sent a letter to Tagliabue saying he had been "vilified and subjected to slanderous lies" after his name was revealed publicly. And after Cerullo's name was publicly revealed in September , the NFL released a statement saying he "should be commended for coming forward. New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton was shocked to learn that the NFL league office hired Mike Cerullo, the former Saints defensive assistant who served as a whistleblower during the Bountygate scandal, to a director of football administration position.
Signora added that Cerullo " is not involved with any disciplinary matters that would represent a conflict of interest. These athletes need to get their heads examined if they really have a problem with someone turning the Saints in. News is news that was his Twitter account he can say what he want. The Nfln wanted to know simple as that he said what his source told him and that he believed it his opinion simple as that. Oh so close.
Anything for a headline. Sports media are so full of themselves, carring for nothing but themselves. They can report in any fashion they feel fit and never held accountable. Lets hope Sapp is delt with and sent packing. He should be more responable with him playing in the league and knowing what goes on in the lockerroom. Sapp is full of it if he wants us to think hes a reporter that has sources and thats where he got the info from.
Not sure why sapp likes to talk so much crap to people that have nothing to do with him. He just loves trashing people,im over him. Hes kind of a bully any hooy. People who bag PFT for not releasing a name that is now all over the net are missing the point. Whistleblowers need protection. In my mind naming a whistleblower is worse than a bounty scene. A bounty may end a career but a being outed as a whistleblower almost certainly ends a persons career.
By leaving out the alleged whistleblowers name PFT are highlighting the fact that Warren Sapp did something wrong. His name is out there on Yahoo. Glad some one had integrity! Lombardi is actually right more now then ever. Winning in the NFL is everything.
They take pride in knocking out offensive players out of the game. The snitch is wrong because he told on his teammates who u would assume had a brother. Nothing they did is criminally wrong but its morally wrong. Probably not. I think this situation is waaaaaaay overblown IMO. In this case all this snitch does is bitch. Sapp and Shockey should make babies.
More overhead and dead wood for the NFL to shoulder. I agree with your point. It has an obligation to report the news, even in sports. I love Sapp and his frank style but he should probably lose his job over this. The fact the NFL Network allowed this bafoon to go on air and identify a person without credible evidence to support such a statement is irresponsible and reckless.
Sapp should be fired. How did he become an analyst in the first place. Explains a little better the whole Toomer rant earlier in the week. That why he is such a bad person! At least he disnt piss on anyones clothes! If nobody is ever willing to provide evidence of such a scheme in the future, then we can logically infer that such a scheme will never happen again.
Problem solved! The bounty scandal has been going on for years under Gregg Williams, including the years during which [name redacted] played for Williams. Nobody is suggesting that this was a one-time or one-year deal. Many are suggesting that Williams pulled this schnitzel when he was with the Saints, Redskins, Titans and Bills, though I do not think that the NFL has made any specific findings with respect to the other teams.
Doing the right thing is important. Sometimes doing the right thing comes with a high price. That price should be happily paid if you were brought up correctly. Above all stay the fk out of other peoples buisness. It is interesting to note that Sapp stated his accusation on an early segment of a special show hosted by Rich Eisen.

Snitches get stitches! Sapp is and always will be an idiot. Williams admitting it closes the matter for any discussion about it. Sapp is a sap,, is a clown and needs to be taught to shut his big fat mouth.
