I think that's far too punitive. But whatever...maybe it will give the Saints added motivation toward another ring.
There will probably be some fines and suspensions as well

The Saints should be punished by having to trade Breesus for John Beck.

This reminds me of a book I read back in the 1980s entitled "They Call Me Assassin" by Jack Tatum.
It's really terrible for the game.

I've talked to a couple of people who say they expect the Saints to lose multiple draft picks this year and their 2013 1st round pick
wow, thats a little harsh imo. I mean, hasnt this gone on since the beginning of football? It may not be as elaborate as pooling money, but there has been incentives for this type of 'play' for awhile on multi-levels of football ie high school, college, and nfl.
The thing of being told to quit and they didnt is certainly what will draw the harsh penalty, but a 1st round pick? Come'on man, thats insane. 4th, 5th round pick at the most, im not down with that.

I'd be willing to bet that this still goes on around the league. I have no problem with it. Trying to knock out the other teams best player has been around since the start of football. Again, as long as the hits are legal, and the ones against Farve and Warner were legal, then I have no problem with it. Of course Mr. Stiff Suit himself (Roger G.) is going to think differently.

Jack Tatum was a dirty player who literally tried to injure people. He was terrible for the game.

what are you talking about. Drew Brees is too short, and he only ran a 4.7 at his combine. Are you crazy!!!???????

Washington Post Text alert says that Skins had similar system in place. Doesn't say when tho'. Loss of 2013 1st round pick sure would put a hiccup in the RGIII train!
EDIT: Nothing in the text alert talked about sanctions against the Skins.
