In part 2 of O'Keefe Media Group's NFL series, Rael Enteen, former Vice President of Content for the Washington Commanders, admits "Bountygate is actually a cover-up for what they [the Saints] really got caught with,” during an undercover conversation with an OMG journalist.
Recall that in part 1, Enteen labeled Black Commanders players as "homophobic," NFL players as "dumb as all hell," and referred to NFL fans as "high school educated alcoholics," amongst many other controversial revelations. Enteen, who has since been fired by the Commanders, makes further claims that Sean Payton, then head coach of the New Orleans Saints, was involved in an opioid theft scandal that the NFL concealed by promoting the "Bountygate" story as a distraction.
Enteen states that Payton and other Saints coaches were caught stealing painkillers from the team doctor, saying, “They used the story of Bountygate as the justification for the suspension to cover up the truth, which is that they had a painkiller-addicted and distributing coaching staff.”
When asked if he believes NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell negotiated with the FBI to bury the opioid scandal, Enteen responds, “I do.” He adds, “The NFL knew as bad as Bountygate was, it would be better than the alternative.”
Enteen reveals that the FBI “became aware of the situation” and installed “a camera in the back of a safe where they kept the painkiller [pills],” capturing the theft on video. He cites Bobby Monica, a former Miami Dolphins equipment manager, as his source, explaining that the FBI’s footage caught the Saints coaches “red-handed.” According to Enteen, the tape still exists, as Sean Payton’s mentor, Bobby Monica, has one of the few remaining copies and “left him [Payton] a copy of the videotape in his will.”
OMG has reached out on multiple occasions to the NFL, the Saints, the Broncos, and Bobby Monica for comment. Despite our repeated efforts, they did not provide a response.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man who fired at Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, and Ryan Wesley Routh, who made an apparent assassination attempt against Trump in Florida, have both been identified as ActBlue donors.
On July 13, 2024, Thomas Matthew Crooks led an open fire on Donald Trump in an attempt to assassinate him at a Trump Rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Despite being a registered Republican, Crooks donated $15 to ActBlue in 2021, according to the Federal Election Commision (FEC) website.
On September 15, 2024, Ryan Wesley Routh was caught with a rifle at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. He was soon after apprehended by authorities. Routh’s connections also extend to ActBlue, where he has donated a total of roughly $140 since 2018, according to FEC data.
Since 2004, ActBlue has amassed over $15 billion, with disturbing patterns in donation records—elderly individuals’ names and addresses are frequently used without their knowledge, raising serious concerns ...
I don't feel comfortable," states Dakota Leazer, a Google Growth Strategist, when confronted by James O'Keefe and O'keefe Media Group after OMG's release of undercover footage revealing Leazer admitting Google's manipulation of search engine results to favor Kamala Harris' campaign.
When O'Keefe asks Leazer to explain his comments about Google's coordination, Leazer denies his statements, saying, "I’ve never said that," despite O'Keefe showing him video evidence. "You’re on video saying these things," O'Keefe responds, pressing into Leazer's claim that Google is "reorienting the search engine so Kamala is more favored." Leazer continues to backtrack, stating, "I don't want to deal with any of this."
O'Keefe further questions Leazer on the ethical implications of Big Tech interfering in politics, only to be met with silence. Leazer abruptly abandons his date, making a hasty escape to a nearby Whole Foods, avoiding further accountability.

On September 5th, OMG received a tip from @Austn through our X account. He reached out with concerns that we might have reported inaccurate information about our ActBlue investigation. Austin took the initiative to review Heinz Fridrich's FEC records, a story initially brought to us by a citizen journalist who had interviewed Fridrich regarding donations made in his name.
Austin discovered that these donations were actually directed to WinRed, not ActBlue, as previously reported. After verifying, we confirmed Austin’s findings.
Heinz Fridrich’s name and address appeared in donations to Win Red.
We are learning and evolving together with the citizen journalist community, which changes how we receive and verify news.
For the sake of integrity in journalism, we remain committed to accuracy and due diligence in all our reports.
We appreciate Austin’s diligence in bringing this to our attention.
We will continue to ensure our reports on ActBlue are thoroughly verified.
