As a fan I am royally pissed, but not pissed at Goodell. In politics its the cover up that makes things far worse than the crime, same thing in this case. It wasn't the bounty system itself that brought the hammer down but the fact that they lied about and continued to do it.

After the NFL has been taking hit after hit recently over concussions and their effects post career, you had a team that was essentially paying players to give other players concussions.

This is not good PR for the NFL and the simple fact they lied to the NFL about it and tried to cover it up made it even worse, Goodell had no choice but to make the Saints an example.

Generally I stay away from message boards but this whole thing has made me want to lick my wounds with fellow fans but seeing the vitriol and hatred that has been shown towards, in my opinion, the wrong individuals made me make this post.
