Could it end up being nothing? Absolutely, though with the FBI involved it looks highly unlikely. Could it be a rogue employee with no connection to the top? Sure but again this kind of excuse in the politics thread is laughed at by me so how can I be different now that it is "my team"? Are there certain fanbases (and posters on FOFC) that will try and play every angle to make St. Louis look bad? Yes. But unlike Arles I am willing to put my head down and join in to question why a great organization like this would be involved in crap like this instead of making excuses.

Who gives a shit about the FBI? Have you not watched J. Edgar?
Seriously I doubt any of this is going to turn out like a huge scandal.. but then again, who knows? Like you I wonder why this organization would even dabble in this shit.. so that makes me believe it was some rogue type deal.
