Suspensions upheld, No change to ruling by Goodell

04-09-2012, 01:39 PM

They knew that ***** Goodell wasn't going to budge. Payton just wanted to buy some time.

There was also supposed to be some discussion of clarifying what exactly Payton can and cant do, during his suspension, which hopefully has been addressed (legally and rule-wise) as well.

Sean is still out nearly 8 MILLION dollars for this?

Oh people...OH PEOPLE...If I'm Sean I am furious right now. Not that, as Sean, I would have 'expected' Goodell to do much. Still, I'm on the phone with legal people and so help me GOD if there's any opportunity, slight as it may be...loopholes included...precedence-setting legal action...WHATEVER, I'm at least exploring it. Hell, the damn TEAM looses half a mil and "I" loose nearly EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS?

Not without a great big mother-****ing fight if I'm Sean.

This is not a shock at all. When someone tells you to STOP doing what your doing. You should STOP. Plus don't Lie see what it will get you.

It's still Guck Foodell!

In all the 'evidence' the media has been tossing around it is quite possible that I missed it...

But I still haven't seen or heard any evidence whatsoever that Sean lied to anybody. I know captain evidence shredder himself has SAID it, but that's it and I'm sorry for me that isn't nearly enough.

He might reconsider financial penalties?

Does this mean that Benson will be given the choice to pay employees that aren't going to do any work for him?

Oh wise, benevolent Great Leader! What a worker's utopia you have created!

Yeah, it was my understanding that this was the whole reason for SP appealing.

Think there was an email to Payton supposedly...all included in their extensive thousand pages report.

Either way, I'll put money down that Goodell lightens the Payton suspension midseason....almost like he has a history of it...

Yeah,I think we all agree that we didn’t think the appeal was gonna change anything rather just buy Payton a little more time to tie up some loose ends.

I say we go after Parcells right now so he has ample time to adjust and settle in!

I think we have to sign Brees this week. I don't want him missing any of the training camp.
