This is so ridiculous. Is there a bounty on Goodell yet????

I told my wife there was a reason the price of Kraft Mac-N-Cheese went up about that time!

i got $10 to put in...

What they did to Payton is just such a surprise and so over the top. He must be in shock.

I hope there is an appeals process or SOMETHING we can do. This is crazy and Goodell is really out of his mind.

Doesn't Goodell get the final say on all appeals?

I can see a big red DENIED stamped on it before it ever gets started

I agree, if you compare the two it seems very harsh that SP loses $8M and he is forced to not have any contact with the team for a year.

I hope he has saved some of his earlier earnings.

Also, didn't SP just buy a new house!!!!!!! Losing that $8 million is going to hurt even more I guess!!!!

As soon as we can come to the realization that we are basically dealing with elementary school intellect here, the better off we will be. It has been said that the reason Bellicheat got off so easy was because as soon as it was brought to the NFL's attention, they fessed up and STOPPED doing it Unlike the brain surgeons we apparently have.

We lied to them and told them nothing was going on. They warned us to stop in 2010 and we didn't. So Sean should think about that while he is on vacation for a year. He allowed us to have this Scarlet letter if for no other reason, allowing GW keep the program going.

I am as shocked as anyone. The punishments that are dealt out by the elementary school principle have no rime or reason. It just depends on his mood I guess.

I think we have seen the last of Payton. Just a gut feeling. It was fun while it lasted.
