I guess it was bigger than spygate!!

2 questions

Who coaches them?

Does Brees sign his tender? I say no. He was pissed as it was.

 

[grog]

Wow. That is some serious hammer.

Goodell:

"When there is targeting of players for injury and cash rewards over a three-year period, the involvement of the coaching staff, and three years of denials and willful disrespect of the rules, a strong and lasting message must be sent that such conduct is totally unacceptable and has no place in the game."

OC Pete Carmichael is likely to take over since asst. HC has been suspended 6 months.

This isn't even done. I am sure there are some players who are gonna get hammered too.

 

[Jaric]

Goodness.

Someone call FEMA.

 

[grog]

Waiting for Saints fans to put a bounty on Goodell. Maybe we could pool together with out bounty on him...

 

[patsfanroach]

DAMN! This is some serious punishment. God Dell came down like a ton of bricks! Makes Spygate look pretty minimal...

I think it was reported that they have two dozen players or so who where involved.
My guess is 8 games (or even a year) for a few "leaders" of the bounty program, shorter suspensions (one or two games maybe) or just fines for the rest.

So much for the hometown team making the superbowl again this year.

 

[tehmackdaddy]

Holy smokes. OMG

Does Brees sign his tender?

why should he, or how about those who re-signed with the team..and what Free agent left will go there

So to all the people calling Belichick arrogant, I guess the Saints just raised the bar..

 

[PumpDee]

Wow. Good thing we own their 1st rounder this year. That's got to be the reason it was 2 seconds.


That is pretty harsh.

 

[grog]

So maybe Miami will finally get Brees after all. I don't want that.

Miami will still find a way to shoot themselves in the foot and mess it all up.

Brees to Miami does make sense in sort of a karmic way. Tebow goes to the Jets and the opposite is........

Looks like we're down to 31 teams in the NFL.
