Although I agree with you 656, ethically that should be the outcome. But these guy's will probably receive extra compensation for carrying out the wishes of the League. These are experienced Refs even a Junior HS Ref see's pass interference. Bottom line they did what they were instructed to do.

So #60 is Gary Cavaletto and this is his humble house maybe now he can enlarge that swimming pool.

Funny you Saint fans didn't feel for the Vikings when your team screwed them in the playoffs. League said it blew three calls that weren't called. One of them would have given Minn first down on 15 yard line instead of and interception. And bounty gate was the result of these late hits and dirty play. You have nothing to ***** about you were already awarded a superbowl game that you didn't deserve. So quit crying.

Blowing three calls in a game is probably below average. Blowing three calls in one play makes you wonder who's getting paid for that level of performance.

BTW, regarding bounty gate. Give it up. Since then, no less than a dozen or so retired NFL players have come forward and said everyone was doing it. The Saint's weren't unique, except in the way they were crucified because one disgruntled employee went crying to Goodell. Funny how the NFL ended up giving the whistleblower a nice cushy job. The league used this as an excuse to buy more time for the owners to cover their butts on the head trauma issue.

The main difference between the last two NFC title games is that in 2019 the Saints were robbed. In 2018 the Vikings were embarrassed. You guys really didn't belong there.

You're telling Saints fans to quit crying, while you're crying??

Seriously? you want to come and troll about Bountygate?

Would you like to just geaux ahead and open the spreadsheet for the entire Saints-Vikings history and see where the balance sheet ends up heavily in the Vikings favor when it comes to bad calls...

And how exactly did the Saints really cheat again?

If your guys were doing their job, Favre doesn't get hit. Oh and by the way, Goodell's thousands of pages of evidence never saw the light of day - case dismissed by Tagliabue for lack of evidence...

At worst, we had players putting money in a locker room pot for big plays, not altering the ball, influencing officials, nor piping in artificial noise (yeah, ours is real and it's spectacular)...

Oh, and never mind that half the leagues' defensive players, including Vikings, had admitted on SportTalk Radio in the weeks when the story broke to having locker room pots for big plays...

Y'all had such sour grapes over losing that you had to change sudden death rules to help you cope with the loss...

While I don't agree with the politicians and lawyers chiming in for personal air time, this was a blatantly obvious call in front of everyone and three officials and was clearly ignored...

We were Goodell's patsy for "player safety", period; and we were penalized an entire season plus two second round draft picks for "player safety"...

And yet throughout the last two seasons head-shots to Alvin Kamara every game have been ignored; I blame Payton for not making more of an issue out of this...

Go ahead and troll if that's what your therapist says will help you cope with the disappointment of having gone to FOUR (4) Superbowls and never having won...

We got it done in our first try and at least we've experienced this...
