Why the Saints bounty penalties are too harsh

"From the looks of it, the purpose of punishment for the NFL looks to be vengeance not deterrence: Anger about not changing the bounty program in 2009 after a warning, and covering up the extent and duration of the bounty programs"

I agree. And there's no precedent for Goodell's penalties.

"So what if Sean Payton thinks the punishment is too harsh or believes the NFL investigation was not as "conclusive" as the NFL says it was? The appeal goes to the Commissioner. How do you say that the punishment and investigation sucked to the guy who did the punishment and investigation?"

By the way, who holds Goodell accountable for not acting when he was first informed of the MULTIPLE bounty systems in progress around he NFL?

Was his judgement fueled by anger?
