way to ****N harsh of a punishment

Wow. My phone was blowing in the middle of an exam and my patient and I had to stop to discuss this lol.

Goodell certainly dropped the hammer down on us to set an example and though it was harsh, we'll be okay. The foundation is already set and as long as Drew is on board, Carmichael and Spags will get the job done. We still have the appeal process and I do have faith Payton's suspension will be reduced.

We'll be alright.

But DAYYYYAMMMMMM... did it make my jaw drop when I heard the news.

Relax a little...

Brees handeled the team well last offseason.... Basically the same situation as the strike, except better... ast coaches etc are still working.

**** the NFL. IM CACNELING MY SUNDAY TICKET

Brees can not sign and draft people though.

We've all seen this group in action.
The fact that Sean Payton isn't holding his play sheet on the sidelines is a bump in the road.
If the defense plays midline or better, we still make the playoffs, and from there it's a new season.
We win this one for the gipper. Wouldn't that be sweet? Show Goodie our butt!

There are back ups.... Loomis has someone in the F.O. with a POA to handle these things.

The Loomis suspension worries me more actually. Who will be the acting GM weeks 1-8? Of course it will be the FIRST 8 weeks of the season when most of the transactions and decisions occur in the league. Ugh!

I think the suspensions are very heavy handed. I was thinking it would be 4-6 games, which would have been enough to send a big message.

I also hope Payton, Loomis and Vitt can appeal. What is Payton going to do now? Play Madden on his couch all year?!

Loomis is not suspended until September 1st, so he can draft and resign.

Between now and April 1st, they will already have the 2012 direction set,
and the FA/draft boards layed out. I'm still a Saint.
