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

Holy shiznit, thats alot of money for a fkkin coach.....

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.

not 2012, we still have that one & it's gonna land us a franchise qb!

This illustrates the power Goodell & the nfl have in these matters. If we press the issue of the cap $, you have to think we will end up paying something for GW's bounty system. Given the rumors & controversy that went around about GW when he was interviewing to be HC here, it would be a shock if he had any loyalty to the Danny. I would expect him to spill the beans about as much as they want. He'll protect Gibbs & his assistants though as much as he can.

Perhaps well agree to allow the NFL to screw us over with the cap if they promise not to screw us over with bountygate.

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

NFL tells me that they did not find a system in Wash, buffalo and Tenn where players had bounties offered to injure them.

We've already been punished.

Haha, I'm just messing with you.

Glad this crap isn't going to come back on the Skins. If they had used this as an excuse to take away our first pick it would have been the biggest kick to the junk ever.

Thanks for sharing, so tired of people wringing their hands over this.

Damm, I'm glad we are not them.

All of those things are true with the Saints.

We hope.
