What about Loomis? How does an 8 game suspension work for a GM? Is he not allowed in the building until Week 8 is over?

My gut reaction:

Especially looking at Payton's and Williams' punishments.

I'm curious, is Sean Peyton considered Loomis' boss or is it the other way around?

Another asst. coach got banned too. Also they say that player punishments are under review by the NFLPA. We may see NFL executions.

I think so. Not entirely sure. He's probably not allowed to go and scout either

Can't help but think we dodged a bullet not having GW take over for Gibbs.

Re: Bountygate Punishment for the Saints

Killer.

I really think this is way too harsh since a lot of teams probably do this and hide it better.



Goodell really likes to make these "I am the king" statements every chance he gets.

Maybe this is to take attention away from the salary cap debacle that will end up being a black eye for the Commish.

I can't believe Sean Peyton is gone...this alone will hurt the team dramatically and could finally send Brees out of town. He still has not signed his franchise tag, right?

The Zorntank and the 2 years of Shannytank did assist us.

(I'm not joking)
