In a story posted by ProFootballTalk this afternoon, Darren Sharper said that he believes no Saints* players should be fined or suspended because, "I still don't feel as though there is proof that guys received certain benefits from making dirty plays or from making plays during the game." Really?

First of all, here's the link to the full story if you're interested: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/10/darren-sharper-no-saints-players-should-be-fined-or-suspended/

Second of all, is Darren Sharper on crack or something? He's denied this bounty thing since day one even though there are mountains of evidence to the contrary including his own actions. He put some of the most vicious illegal hits on Favre in the 2009 NFC Championship Game that i've ever seen. Observe:

I don't mean to torture you guys like this, but the excellent song choice makes it somewhat less painful to watch.

So in summary, Darren Sharper is an idiot, and the Saints* deserve every punishment they get, and possibly more. *cough first round pick next year instead of second cough*
