According to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, coach Sean Payton will be suspended for a year, general manager Mickey Loomis eight game and fined $500,000 and the Saints will be docked $500,000 and second draft picks in 2012.

 

[JP4CY]

Wow, hammer has been laid.

 

[cycloneworld]

Wow...didn't expect that on Payton.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Wow. Glad I'm not a Saints fan.

 

[ISUCY23]

:shocked: WOW! I can't believe they would suspend a head coach for a full year, but i guess this will discourage other teams from doing it.

That is HUGE!. The NFL is setting an example with this one, pure and simple. Considering the penalties, I would guess that any existing bounty programs on other teams, will cease to be. Losing your head coach for a year is one of the harshest penalties I can think of.

That is WAAY over the top. 100 bucks it doesn't stick

 

[DesertClone1]

Wow on Sean Peyton..

Meh on last 3

 

[Clones21]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Screw the saints.

I assume you're referring to Tebow being worth a 4th rounder? :wink:

 

[HiltonMagic]

Note too self: don't **** off Goodell.

 

[ianoconnor]

Owned. Glad the NFL is taking this seriously. Goodell is the man.

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

The NCAA called and asked what the Goodell is doing.

 

[Wesley]

Looks like NFL will become a game for the twinkies to play. Maybe they will go to flag football.

 

[Mr Janny]

Antonio Cromartie is supposed to have just tweeted, "we don't need Tebow," but before any Tebow Fanatics jump down his throat, it's possible that he was just eliminating it as a potential name for his newborn son.

The NCAA called and asked what the Goodell is doing.

It would be nice if the NCAA was able to grow a pair, and have harsher penalties for the larger schools.:skeptical:
