Saints coach Sean Payton has been suspended for one year, former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was suspended indefinitely, general manager Mickey Loomis was suspended for eight regular-season games, the team was fined $500,000 and lost two second-round draft picks (one in 2012 and '13) as a result of a bounty program conducted by the team during the 2009-11 seasons.

Damn, don't forget the two second round picks they lost as well. I guess Mr. Goodell wanted to make a statement...

Note to NCAA Committee on Infractions: THAT is how you punish rule breakers.

And some of the comedy ones are good, too.

The NFL was tough on the Saints, but what they did to the Jets was inhumane.

Funny you posted that. I was about to post this:

Dear NCAA,

This is how you punish people who maliciously break rules and laugh about it in your face (USC, Alabama, Ohio State). I bet it won't happen again. Ask SMU.

Signed,

Roger Goodell

Seriously, this is some fucking bullshit.

All over something that I'm 100% certain goes on in every fucking locker room in the NFL. Everyone involved has said it was a bounty for "big hits", not to intentionally hurt people, and I can't see any way the NFL can empirically prove otherwise. I hope they sue for arbitrary and capricious penalty and irreparable harm.

What did Buddy Ryan get punished for his Bounty Bowls? He fucking didn't. Also, I want a full investigation of the 49'ers playoff knockout of Pierre Thomas if these are the rules we're playing by. Belichick was actually fucking cheating, and what'd he get? A couple bucks fine? Zero games suspended?

This is complete and utter garbage.

Oh yeah, and don't forget. Who's gonna replace him? Assistant coach Joe Vitt? Fuck you, we're suspending him six games. And just to make sure it's total fucking chaos, we're suspending GM Mickey Loomis for 8 fucking games.

Have you ever heard of a General Fucking Manager getting suspended in any sport ever? I haven't.

All this because of some shit Gregg Williams who isn't here anymore allegedly organized.

And the NFL is also saying this happened last season, and Cam Newton was a specific target.
