I honestly think he would give us ALL the draft picks back RIGHT NOW, TODAY, before lunchtime, if Benson fired Payton and Loomis like Goodell wanted him to. The whole punishment was designed to get those two fired -- I honestly am convinced of that. Which is why he keeps changing Payton's punishment around, and why he comes out dangling the picks over our heads every time that Payton acts up or gets too high profile in the media. Goodell wanted the Bounty story to go BOOM and make Benson get mad at Payton, then Payton, Loomis and Vitt all lose their jobs, players get cut, Goodell wins, he rids himself of the problem of Payton, Loomis, Gregg Williams, and a bunch of the players he has a beef against. But it didn't work out that way. That's been my take on it for a while now. Dangling Gregg Williams' reinstatement over his head like a bunch of grapes, to get him to do Goodell's bidding and say the right things -- same tactic.
