That's the m'fer at the bottom of all this. And I think a 'Peter King' voodoo doll thread may be in order ...

I would like to see Gregg Williams get a lifetime ban...but I think a lifetime ban would depend upon how much the league decides to further investigate details of his time at the Redskins, Titans, etc., which I don't think they are very inclined to do AT ALL right now. They've proved their point with the Saints, and spreading this investigation to other teams and coaches is a Pandora's box they DO NOT want to open because the scandal will NEVER end if they do. I think they give Williams fines and a 1 or 1 1/2 year suspension that is juuuuust big enough to make his position in St. Louis untenable, so the Rams have no choice but to part ways with him before he ever coaches a single game or scrimmage in St. Louis. I forget his name right now but they already have another guy on their defensive staff with the Rams, who has been a DC before, so they won't be completely at a loss.

I also don't see them banning the Saints from prime time games because, again, that's punishing the innocent -- Benson -- by affecting his bottom line. The Saints have amazing ratings every time they play in prime time --one of the best draws in the whole sport -- and the league is not going to mess with that too much. The national interest to watch the Saints on TV is still there, even with the scandal -- now people will be watching the games to hear juicy details about the "bounties" and to look for dirty hits (that aren't there). The NFL will probably scale the Saints back to maybe 2-3 prime time games like a normal team, but I don't see them banishing them completely from prime time for the year -- too much money unrelated to the Saints (networks, TV ratings, etc) would be at stake. Plus I get the feeling that NBC really loves the Saints on their Sunday night schedule, and would be mad if the league took that away.

Theres no rule that says they have to allow us to be competitive.

I can see the hammer coming down. This is when you need to
bring out your character. We're going to be up against it. Drew
and co. need to get their heads out of the bank vault and prepare
themselves.

Banning a team from TV games is so college football.

That won't happen in the NFL. Networks have some say in which games are played on their channels.

If I was a network I'd insist Saints games will be on this year because... you have the whole bounty issue to bring up and talk about during the game. Its a story... they are going to want it.

that, and we will become like the bad guys in wrestling. we should have a mic come down from the superdome roof before the game, and instead
of a pre-coin toss handshake, we should start calling our next opponent out:

"I .... have no respect .... for junkyard dog... after what happened last week in Rapides Parish Coliseum... but next week... its going to be PAYBACK. Saints vs. falcons ___ (date/time) on most of these FOX
stations/ good seats available via ticketron, ticketmaster, or your saints box office) --- BE THEREEEEEE!"

Junkyard Dog? I LOVE it...but your age (and mine) is showing sir...might want to cover that up. LOL

We're gonna have to go all HEHATEME on people...lot of haters will be out in force when the Saints take the field this fall. It will take a big chip on the shoulder to overcome it all and prove it on the field.

We need a 'favorite wrestler' thread, similiar to the 'favorite tv show theme' thread ... I should be able to find some of the local talent from back in the days of 'Big-Time Wrestling' at the 'air-conditioned' Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan ... Bobo Brazil, the Sheik, Dick the Bruiser, Bulldog Don Kent, George 'the Animal' Steele ... George Steele actually was one of my old football/wrestling coaches, .

Just read this on a comments section elsewhere

Have you or a loved one been injured by the New Orleans Saints illegal bounty system? If so, you might be entitled to legal compensation. Just contact the law firm of Whiners & Lott.
