Statement from the New Orleans Saints Organization

Am I the only one who thinks there is something to the wording of the Saints statement? " Today we were apprised of penalties as proposed by the NFL." Proposed? I read that as we are not accepting this as is. Let's say Payton/Loomis file a lawsuit and get an injunction allowing them to continue until the matter is settled. It could get tied up in the courts for years before being resolved. Similar to Vikings players & Will Smith's starcaps case. Didnt it take 3 years to get resolved? I may be reading something to this that isnt there but "proposed" seems odd. I betcha the judge in LA that gets assigned the case is a Who Dat. I think it would be easy to get an injunction and drag it out until say you want to retire???

Tommy, you are right about that one. Lets just hope Payton and everybody else wants to fight it. 8 Milllion dollars is alot to lose. Even Goodell doesnt have the power to overide the right to a fair trial.
