NFL Commish knew this would be bad: "One source close to Goodell said the commissioner's reaction to the initial reports of the bounties in the 2009 playoffs was, 'God forbid this is true. This will be earth-shattering.'"
What did Sean Payton know? "But would the NFL believe that a micromanager such as Payton didn't know what was going on with one of his coordinators and half of his team on the nights before games? 'Reminds me of the Nixon White House,' said another league source involved in the investigation."
Gregg Williams lied to Roger Goodell's face: "Goodell summoned Williams to his office. Confronted with evidence that implicated him as the ringleader in the scandal, Williams at first denied any involvement but shortly thereafter met with Goodell and admitted his role." (via Sports Illustrated)
