flemingd Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 SNICKERSing bullCHIPS AHOY! I tend to agree. I'm the harshest critic of what they did, but this feels excessive even to me. Saw it coming from the lawyers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbforbes Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Wow. Has there ever been an equivalent coach susension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Seems like an appropriate response. They were told directly to knock it off and they didn't. The NFL wants to portray a tough stance on player safety and this certainly does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The NFL is running scared from this concussion thing, and they have to appear they are doing all due diligence to prevent them. The lawyers are in charge now, no question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Holy bajesus, and their second round picks for the next 2 years. That needs to be appealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 How is this even remotely justified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Holy bajesus, and their second round picks for the next 2 years. That needs to be appealed. Yeah, I'm sure Goodell will reduce the penalty he imposed when it's appealed to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 WOW! A little harsh, IMO. Is there a possiblity of contesting this? and getting a "reduced sentence"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 The league also said the involvement of players in the bounty program remain under investigation and Goodell will address possible discipline at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 How is this even remotely justified? To give the illusion that they are serious about player safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Wow, that's pretty stiff. And what does suspending the GM do? Is he not allowed to go to the facility and work? For coaches obviously they aren't at the games, and supposedly out of practices, cannot be at facility to game plan etc. Just trying to understand what damage there is to suspending the GM whose biggest job is more in the off season (drafting, trades etc.) Here's the story on NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d827c0dd9/article/nfl-suspends-saints-coach-payton-for-one-year-without-pay?module=HP11_breaking_news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 So, I wonder how many team sanctioned bounty pools are going to be in operation next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 everything seems perfectly appropriate except the payton suspension seems excessive. but obviously the league has more facts than we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dogs Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I feel the worst for Brees in this deal, he got tagged, so they have exclusive rights to him for the year so is stuck, and now no coach for the year. If I were him, i'd sign the tag and get out next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
