"Deep in a press box he's passing a $20.00 under the table to watch James Harrison lay out some poor ass brown player." He knows this.........I'm onto his ass.

That's what I beginning to wonder, had Goodell ever played a competitive sport or was he just a suit? I'm almost afraid to look it up for what I will find ...

Ok, here is my thought. GW has done this everywhere he has coached. If the Saints lose picks the so should the Titans, Bills and Skins. I think GW should be suspended for a year. Maybe fine the teams he coached 500k. Baseball did not fine or take away picks from the Reds when pete rose bet........

Being that he never played a single down in the NFL, it's not that surprising. He's probably never step foot into a pre-game locker room either. I wouldn't be shocked if in the near future, Goodell starts giving fines for cussing or smack talking on the field.

One source close to Roger Goodell tells SI.com's Peter King that the commissioner's reaction to initial reports about the Saints' bounty program was, "God forbid this is true. This will be earth-shattering."

"This is a seminal moment in the culture change we have to make," said the high-placed source close to Goodell. "This has to stop now. Every team needs to hear the message that we're in a different era now, where this appalling behavior is going to end." The Saints can't expect leniency. King believes Goodell will come down hardest on Rams DC Greg Williams, Saints coach Sean Payton, GM Mickey Loomis, and MLB Jonathan Vilma, "in that order." All four, and perhaps more Saints defensive players, should expect multi-game suspensions.

so with the investigation of all G.W.s former teams, will Goodell discipline them too?

Amen! It would be a farce if he just threw the book at the Saints considering that this is a Gregg Williams problem more than it is a Saints problem. However, suspending Payton, Loomis, and Vilma seems pretty fair considering their involvement.

Saints will be singled out and hammered!! We ruined the pretty boy Farve, oh, favree or whatever the hell the spelling is, we fouled up the commish's little Super Bowl plan a couple years ago and now he's po'd and is gonna make sure he get's to make the last point.

I can't agree with that - the league wanted the Saints in the SB game, because it was the ultimate Cinderella story after all the hardship NO and the gulf area had suffered.

That was the storyline they were going with and it was pretty clear from all of the promos they were running back then.
