Part if not a lot of this is about money. The NFL will prosper a lot more by not having us play in the SB and GOODELL is going to look after his cronies and suck the life out off the NFL as we know it.

where do I order that shirt..RIGHT NOW?

I don't believe he can go anywhere after his new extension. He won't be coaching for quite a while... and I'm not sure we even need him.

We'll be fine.

I like that. Gruden HC!

Goodell sucks. This dude has all this power and likes to abuse it. I was thinking he would take draft picks away and maybe a fine but no this jacka$$ had to suspend Payton too. I hope Lorena Bobbit chops his wiener off. This guy had to be bullied as a kid.

Free Sean Payton!

Not as bad as I'd feared. I've LOL'd at some of the overreactions!

I know it's improbable, but if the Saints made it to the SB, or even getting into the playoffs, it would be the ulitimate middle finger to Goodell. Despite all his effort, the team actually improves.

Cue up Florida Evans........

Insane, my fellow Whodats! I am on the verge of cancelling the ticket myself. The NFL is too big now. Troy Aikman was right. It's over for the NFL!

Let me guess; still a pissed off Viqueen fan? lol

This fool better be banned...RIGHT NOW

Really?

Saints will still be kicking ass every week...

im gonna be sick

This is RIDICULOUS! I know it's definitely a long shot now, but I'd really love for nothing more then the Saints to go win the Super Bowl, if not just to spite Roger Goodell and the NFL. This is pathetic. A full year for Payton? Bull****.

Utterly ridiculous.

This penalty is beyond a death penalty.

If you want to set up a situation where a team has NOTHING to lose, here's your sign. Be careful what you wish for, Roger, because you just might get it.

:annoyed::nono2:

Smug punk can stay in the booth.

***dammit. I just found out about 15 minutes ago. I had to read this whole thread. This is bull****! Goodell can just go :censored: himself. As a matter of fact, I think I'm gonna sit down and write him a letter telling him just that. I would encourage everyone else to do the same thing. Brees may even sit out this year because of this bull:censored:. Payton may sit in Dallas for a year and decide he really likes it there. Everybody keeps saying that we'll be fine, It's gonna be alright. Well we might be alright, we might be fine, but I havn't seen a damn thing yet this off season to make me think otherwise. I think we just keep getting ****ed by the league, by Brees' manager, and anybody else that comes along. And it's gonna take a hell of a lot of things to happen to make me think otherwise. Unless somthing positive starts happening real soon, this season is gonna suck for us.

Sorry Halo. Delete if you need to.

Wait! Why wasn't Bellicheat suspended for Spygate? WTF?!!

Frankly, I am staggered. But what do I know.

What sanctions were ou thinking?


Oh no we will not.

The Offense is so different.

And on defense, the 2011 Rams worked with many personnel missing. The 2012 Saints will be fit and ready.

Now that I've finally regained my consciousness after I heard the news... I think that the penalties are way too harsh, but on the other hand, they could've been worse.

A lot will be determined by the penalties that any players will receive, because those are one thing that could potentially ruin the whole season.

The year-long suspension of SP is totally overreacting, and don't kid yourselves - that one is really going to hurt the Saints this coming season, but I do think Spags could do a good job as the interim HC.

The league/Goodell wanted to make an example of the Saints and cover their behinds for the law suits from former players with medical/health issues - I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the next team that brakes some rules.

I think Vilma is well screwed.

Hey, don't do the crime if you can't do the time. DUMB !

I'm just glad that the Saints still have some draft picks!

Good one FinSaints ! Just plain dumb, this is what happens when you don't think. Who's the rat

More than that, who was the one who wrote it all down in the first place?

My thoughts exactly! You can't bend the rules for some.

They'll probably amputate a leg.

It's because players' safety is Goodell's #1 cause, and the league has so many impending law suits to deal with that are directly connected to the issue.

This is not ok!!! this is an outrage!!!!! The NFL is a ******* joke!!!!! We where just used to make a statement!!!!! We got hosed... I am so ******* pissed!!!! Such BS!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
