That strange wording in the Saints' official statement yesterday, about "severe penalties facing our club as proposed by the NFL" was a big red flag that makes me think they will appeal.

You're good man.

Here's the thing: Payton or Loomis, if they appeal, can only appeal to the Commissioner according to the (CBA I think it was). It's in the contracts. So it's unlikely he hands out a suspension then lessens his ruling.

The PLAYERS on the other hand are represented by a union and can appeal outside of the commissioner.

I don't see either wasting time on an appeal. Also, James Varney and I spoke yesterday and we agreed it didn't make much sense for the NFL to suspend Loomis. They simply did it "without pay" as a sort of fine. It won't effect contract negotiations or anything because there's actually multiple people who help negotiate contracts. Loomis is just the "best" and has the "final word" in a way.
