LOLSAINTS Bounty Program - Pair of Pliers and a Blowtorch - Page 4 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

my guess on punishments:

williams: minimum 1 year suspension/fired by stl
payton: suspension of a couple games, fine of up to 1 mil
not sure what will happen with teh players. probably fined up the ass, possible suspension for vilma (make an example clause)
saints franchise: loss of multiple picks or loss of tags, be it franchise or transitional, 7 figure fine for benson

I'm putting 10k on the table for someone to "knock out" valenzuela in this thread.

The Saints are so ****ed.

I'm betting on the 50k pages to be referencing the amount of documents they went over, not the actual report.

I wouldn't be shocked at a multi-year suspension or even a ban for Williams.

I'd also guess that any player who contributed cash for a bounty to also be looking at a suspension.

Loss of draft picks is almost a given. The question is how many and for how far into the future.

Fines for players, coaches, and Loomis seem certain, with possible additional penalties.

Wasn't Valenzuela the same guy who argued until he was blue in the face that the Luis Suarez intentional handball in the WC QF vs. Ghana was one of the most unethical and unsportsmanlike travesties in the history of sports?

Also, if the Saints violated cap rules, they could get some serious cap penalties. 2 or 3 first round picks, plus fines/suspensions for coaches or players involved. This could send them back into the paper bag era

Do we know the NFL would consider something like this as a payment contributing to a cap violation? Seems like that would've occurred to Payton or someone in management.

seems like it occurred to management if they told payton to stop it, and didn't occur to payton if he didn't

If you are the Saints, at least you got a Super Bowl out of it and prob still have Brees. Howevahhh, LOL at the Redskins if they get a legit punishment for this, nightmare never ends.

Expect a lot of derpitude in other (dumber) portions of the internet along the lines of "What's the problem? Want to watch sissies run around watch tennis! People watch the NFL for the hits!"

that's an actual CNN.com comment btw.

I dont know if this is a level, but there is a huge difference between a bounty program and playing with ineligible players.

What happens if a quick investigation reveals that Snyder was aware of the bounty system in DC.. is the NFL gonna strip them of draft choices too?

NFL may be opening a Pandora's Box with this.. if more players come forward with info on other teams, the NFL would be remiss if they didn't expand the investigation to all 32 teams.

Have to wait until everyone responsible goes somewhere else so they can punish the people who didn't do it.
