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...

Goodell only reduces penalties for NFL employees who sexually assault young women...not for being physical in a physical game with grown men on both sides of the ball making large dollars...if SP had raped some poor defensless women, he would be "free" in 8 weeks like big ben...but he commited the biggest SIN of all...lying to the commish(comrad goodell)

The problem is ... unlike the other cases, what constitutes "good behavior" for Sean Payton? Does Sean need to apologize further in media? Run free clinics on the dangers of the bounty system in the NFL and its communities? Help kids in college football? Stay away from college football? Attend sensitivity training alongside Gregg Williams? Write "I will not lie" 100,000 times on a whiteboard? Does Roger want Sean to move to Siberia for a year?

The fact is no one, probably not even Goodell, knows what constitutes good behavior. In contrast, all Big Ben had to do was keep it in his pants and keep his motorcycle upright for a few months to get his suspension reduced.

Agree 100% that this is why the axe came down but keep in mind so did Vick and he was released on good behavior....both figuratively and literally....
