Bountygate Punishment for the Saints

Man I wish we could see how people voted. I'd love to know who thought the punishment was too light. lol


......I did but only becuase I think some players should be hit also,I also read where this is still on going so ...who knows.

MAYBE!

:Smoker:

....maybe not.

My Eli itches.

I bet 1 Facist, 3 Nihilists, and a many times over scorned female. :pimp: imho.

I voted too harsh because how this compares to Spygate. Belicheat didn't get suspended, although the Pats did lose a first rounder (but this is nothing to the Pats). Still if Belicheat is not suspended at all for cheating, suspending Peyton is a bit harsh if you ask me.

Bill didn't lie about it when approached either. That's the difference. They acknowledged it, took their lumps and moved on. Payton and crew on the other hand denied it and lied for a couple years. Not the same situation.

I don't have reason to think Shockey posted a fake conversation. I also know that just about everyone else who could know that is saying anything has said unequivocally that Shockey was not the "snitch/whistleblower"

Also, what does it make Sapp if he's ratting out the guy that he believes ratted out the Saints? What's to gain there?

Ratings and attention.

I voted too harsh but only because I think that a year for Payton is really steep. I think a 4-8 games suspension for Payton would have sent a strong message (which was the point) by itself.

At first I thought a year for Payton was pretty harsh too, but after hearing Goodell explain it I think it's justified.

Even if Payton didn't know what was going on (and let's be honest here it's pretty obvious he did) he's ultimately responsible for the actions and conduct of his team.

So the one part that I thought might be excessive turns out is not entirely accurate.

According to Mort, Payton's suspension is lifted day after the Super Bowl (not April 1, 2013) so he'll be around for senior week, combine, pro days, free agency, etc
