When you deal with a large number of payments for a large number of people, you need to keep an accurate ledger. The New Orleans Saints’ bounty system was no exception. From the Associated Press:

Yahoo first reported that the NFL has the ledger, which describes $1,000 payments for “cart-offs,” or hits which left opponents needing help to the sideline. It noted $400 payments for “whacks,” or hard hits, and $100 deductions for mental errors.

The NFL Players Association has yet to see the ledger. You would think this would have been the first thing the Saints had destroyed when this story first broke. It will be interesting to see if the ledger shows equal crimes to go along with the suspensions that Roger Goodell handed out.
