Legislature calls on NFL to take another look at Saints' penalties

I diagree. This might hold some weight if the NFL rejects the demands of the legislature. How about an emergency tax and non-compliance penalty levied against the NFL?

Remember, the Superbowl is in Louisiana this year and the legislature can really mess with the NFL. If the governor and the legislature are on the same page, they can give Goodell and the NFL a fat juicy hell on earth.

Just think, the State could double it's profits from emergency compensatory funds from the NFL, so let's see....

HOW BOUT A LITTLE FIRE SCARECROW!

Maybe you have a point. Perhaps the Louisiana legislature can pass a resolution suspending Goodell for a year with a $10,000,000 fine payable to a louisiana charity, complete with community service on coastal restoration... Or something...

Think it'll work?

And then what, we don't see hosting another SB until im like 85.I don't think thats a good idea although I agree with the thought, but it holds no bering on the outcome.

Remember do not bite the hand that feeds you. In other words if you want to host another Super Bowl in New Orleans we need to choose our words carefully.

We don't need the legislature to act (it doesn't mean anything anyway). We just need an Arbitrater &/or Judge to do the right thing & turn this in our favor.
