Head of saints bounty probe submits resignation letter
And the plot thickens. I'm wondering if he can't come up with the proof needed to punish the players which Brees, as player rep etc.. has demanded. Or he knows that other teams have done the same and Goodell refuses to punish these teams as well. Wtach this one very close. Strange it happened this past Friday on draft day that Saints lost their 2nd round pick.

As the football-following world continues to wait for the league office to levy discipline against the Saints players involved in the three-year bounty system, the story that has had more than a few twists and turns now has yet another.
Per multiple league sources, NFL director of investigations Joe Hummel has submitted a letter of resignation.
The move came Friday, at a time when all eyes were focused on the aftermath of round one of the draft and anticipation for the six rounds to come.
Hummel has been running the Saints bounty investigation. He plans to remain on the job until the end of May. It’s unclear whether he’ll continue to work on the bounty case, or when he last had an active role in the investigation.
Speculation obviously will arise regarding any potential connection between the resignation and the bounty probe, especially since the process of implementing discipline on the players has been delayed without any explanation. Discipline was announced against non-players and against the Saints on March 21.
