Perhaps well agree to allow the NFL to screw us over with the cap if they promise not to screw us over with bountygate.
Skins won't get punished. Two very different situations. Our GM didn't know about it at the time, Gibbs didn't know about it, Snyder didn't know about, and the league didn't find out about it and tell us to stop, only to have us subsequently lie to the league about putting an end to it. All of those things are true with the Saints.

Agreed, RG's message has been heard loud and clear. If you keep digging into the past where does it stop? Do you go all the way back to when GW was the DC for the Titans? Do the Bills get dragged in too? Doesn't make sense.

Agreed. It sounds like the next step is doling out the player punishments.

Is a flaming bag of poo on Vinny Cerrato's doorstep acceptable punishment? I'd be down with that.

Had not thought of it this way - - but there is a sinister logic at the core of your reasoning here...

Re: Bountygate Punishment for the Saints
What's more surprising is that Payton is going to keep his job. Also, he's losing a ton of coin over this as well.


Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter

Sean Payton's year-long suspension means lost salary for one year. Payton's out about $7 million.

Here's the thiing...the Saints did something very wrong. They broke rules and even ethics.

We didn't.

Their punishment was earned.

Ours is a joke.
