VILMA suspended for season....

alexonfyre · 05-02-2012, 12:04 PM

To be honest, I think out of all the people punished so far, GW and Vilma are guilty as sin, the rest are collateral damage. The punishment of SP is absurd and even Joe Vitt is somewhat questionable in its severity.
It sucks Will Smith and Scott Fujita can dragged into the player punishments somehow as well. I think the Saints felt the same way though, hence firing GW and getting 2 new ILBs in Free Agency. Given the preparation the team should be fine...and if anyone says Scott Shanle should step up and lead the defense, I will internet-find you and internet-slap you in the face.

You want my address, we can do it in real-life LOL... Shanle has been here and has the respect of the lockerroom, he could step up and fill the leadership role.

He's a vindictive *****....oh wait, can I say that? What a child like response from this malicious power hungry dictator.
Edit: I guess I can't.

I am more surprised that MORE players weren't suspended!!

We all heard for months that 22-27 Saints players were involved and now only 2 current Saints players are being punished?

WTFO!!!!

Well, sense no one was paid for any hit, and godell has no evidence of player involvement. My take is, he is just fining the leadership in hopes of winning a possible court case. Hardgrove is clearly for fan approval, and makes the least sense.

Steve Wyche said Hargrove had a part in hiding the bounty system in 2010 when the NFL was asking the Saints about it and that's why he was suspended

Sounds to me if you denied any part of anything that you might have known about, you were suspended for 1 year.

if you admitted to it, you were suspended for 3 to 8 games.......

then there is Gregg Williams, which leads me back to the God-Dell Equation of Punishment:

Simple, yet INEFFECTIVE!
