Vilma suspended for the season. Wow. gregg rosenthal@greggrosenthal Fujita gets 3 game,s Hargrove 8 games, Will Smith four games. NFL announced. Jason La Canfora@JasonLaCanfora Vilma's suspension starts immediately, the others can participate in OTAs and preseason, then begin serving. I expect all to appeal Jonathan Vilma banned for year The NFL suspended four players for their roles in the New Orleans Saints' bounty system, including linebacker Jonathan Vilma for the entire 2012 season. In addition to Vilma, defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove was suspended eight games, defensive Will Smith four games and linebacker Scott Fujita (now with the Cleveland Browns) three games. A league investigation found that from 2009-11 New Orleans coaches and players put together a bounty system that paid out improper cash bonuses for hits aimed at knocking opposing players out of games. The NFL says as many as 27 Saints participated. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell already has suspended Saints coach Sean Payton for the 2012 season and fined the team $500,000. Saints former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is suspended indefinitely, New Orleans general manager Mickey Loomis begins an eight-game ban after the preseason, and interim coach Joe Vitt begins serves his six-game suspension at the same time. Payton's suspension began April 16 and runs through the Super Bowl, which, incidentally, is in New Orleans. During that time, Payton may not even have casual, non-football conversations with anyone on any NFL team without at least notifying the league office.

Not surprising.. the whole time these reports were talking about vilma preparing for up to 8 games I figured it would end up being his whole season.. payton was only preparing for a few games too.. the bright side is that its finally come down and only 2 guys still on our roster received suspensions. If forced to, I can live with that
