From CBS Sports:
NEW YORK -- The NFL says that New Orleans Saints players maintained a bounty program over the last three seasons that targeted opponents with the intent to injure them.
The league disclosed the findings of an investigation Friday, saying between 22 and 27 defensive players and at least one assistant coach were involved. No punishments have been handed out yet, but they could include suspensions and fines.
Commissioner Roger Goodell says he is troubled because the system "involved not just payments for 'performance,' but also for injuring opposing players. The bounty rule promotes two key elements of NFL football: player safety and competitive integrity."
The league's investigation shows the pool for the bounty program may have surpassed $50,000 at its height during the 2009 playoffs. New Orleans won the Super Bowl that season.

If that's true, they should be stripped of their Superbowl win.

They should but they won't. They ignored their dirty play back then when it was obvious and they will basically ignore it now.

The players they injured should bring charges and sue them then. Then the injured should sue the NFL for failing to protect them.
Did any of these guys end a career?

taking away the title would be stupid. its not like they cheated
i would suspend all involved players for an entire season though. that is unacceptable behavior

Really disturbing. 
Now, last year, there should have been a surplus of money, they could not tackle, much less knock someone out.
