The NFL has levied significant discipline against the New Orleans Saints after the league determined that the team violated the coronavirus guidelines again, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning.

The Saints forfeited a seventh-round draft pick and were fined $500,000 for their second offense of the NFL's coronavirus protocols, Schefter reported, adding that the team has appealed the NFL's verdict.

However, the Saints' postgame celebratory videos that feature many team members not wearing masks on Nov. 8 after their win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers "wasn't the issue," ESPN's Mike Triplett reported.

Goodell would come after our UFA signings if he could figure out a way to do it.

Re: Saints reportedly fined $500K, lose draft pick for violating NFL's coronavirus guidelines again

From the article and why the Saints were slammed. First it was a repeat offense and then ...

"Similar behavior occurred a week earlier after their win over the Chicago Bears, with only a select few team members seen in the background of those videos were wearing face coverings.

However, the Saints' win against the Bears was on Nov. 1. The latest NFL memo regarding the updated coronavirus protocol was released on Nov. 3.

"All players and staff must wear masks or double-layered gaiters in the locker room on gameday — prior to the game, during halftime, and post-game," the updated memo read."

The Saints screwed up by ignoring the new mandate. No one to blame but themselves. And it all should fall on Payton.

I agree with this even though it seems apparent that the 'Rona isn't as bad as we were told.

Dying sucks. We all have an expiration date. We were told that this virus would wipe out millions of people. I don’t want my parents to get this virus because they may indeed die from it.

That said, this virus is a threat. It’s just not as bad as we worried it might be.
