Re: New Orleans Saints Bounty Program

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.

Re: New Orleans Saints Bounty Program

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.

mmm...no? I did feel very very sorry for Ghana, I felt that it was unfair for Ghana, I was tilted because I was on the Ghana bandwagon, I was jealous because Uruguay made the semis and we didnt so I probably wrote a lots of posts bitching about it but ultimately Suarez made a perfectly legal move.

saints franchise: loss of multiple picks or loss of tags, be it franchise or transitional, 7 figure fine for benson
random q-

If Payton's fined, or anyone else is fined, the owner can obviously pay it correct? Gotta assume no way did Bellichick shell out 500k for spygate.

Nothing will happen, FedEx is closed on Sundays so they weren't able to ship the checks.
