For someone as important as D.

WITH a Roger Goodell public apology and admitting that he screwed up.

As all of us know, this wont happen. It speaks volumes about the character of Goodell and the league office.

I think, in the end, not this year but probably next and down the line, the Saints will get compensatory picks. If you watch the draft, the commish gives away compensatory picks back to teams whose players were suspended rightly or wrongly, but usually not immediately. This year one team got a compensatory 2nd round and a 3rd from the commish for something that happened during the previous regime.

I don't think Roger is going to give an inch, much less a draft pick, because he's butt hurt over this whole thing and he is just that big of an ass.

I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
