Bountygate Punishment for the Saints

Holy smokes. Talk about Draconian punishment.

wow this is overly harsh imo.
Did anybody......not understand Rog's message?
YEEooow......Payton can't be around the facilities....team....coaches...no communication for a year?
RuhSkins said it...Holy S...
I saw that on the crawler and couldn't believe it. Never thought it would be that harsh.
Maybe we want to take our 36m fine....make like tree....and get outta' here before RG really loses his cool.....

Skins won't get punished. Two very different situations. Our GM didn't know about it at the time, Gibbs didn't know about it, Snyder didn't know about, and the league didn't find out about it and tell us to stop, only to have us subsequently lie to the league about putting an end to it. All of those things are true with the Saints.

Agreed, RG's message has been heard loud and clear. If you keep digging into the past where does it stop? Do you go all the way back to when GW was the DC for the Titans? Do the Bills get dragged in too? Doesn't make sense.

What's more surprising is that Payton is going to keep his job. Also, he's losing a ton of coin over this as well.

Sean Payton's year-long suspension means lost salary for one year. Payton's out about $7 million.

Agreed. It sounds like the next step is doling out the player punishments.

Here's the thiing...the Saints did something very wrong. They broke rules and even ethics.

We didn't.

Their punishment was earned.

Ours is a joke.

Holy smokes. Talk about Draconian punishment.

Nice Game of Thrones reference. I like it

Nice Game of Thrones reference. I like itFor serious?

The way I look at it one player in the draft that will drop to us with no Saints pick.
