I'm just so depressed I can't think straight. I really think the punishment was way beyond the crime.

Knowing the whole story, I actually think it was warranted and could have been more, if any thing, especially with Williams getting an indefinite suspension.

They have to send a message for teams who haven't gotten caught yet, so it doesn't happen again.

The crime was under the table bonuses paid out that escalated in amount based upon serverity of injury inflicted on an opposing team member. Just what would be punishment enough for a crime that could very well have ended another player's career?

Most fans will probably disagree with the punishment.

I disagree... after a three year investigation where the Saints players and coaches lied and denied... Roger Goodell brought the hammer down, and rightly so. In addition to the fines, the suspensions of coaches and the GM, there are STILL suspensions/fines to be imposed on the players involved...

All Goodell can do is come down hard and try to restore the honor and integrity of the game.

The possibility of ending the playing careers and possibly maiming other players make the punishment seem lenient, IMHO. Football is violent enough in its purest form. There's no place for this BS in the game.

I'm a Bronco fan so believe me when I tell you that Brady Quinn was traded a day or two ago to Kansas City. So yes you'll be able to watch Quinn in a Broncos game twice a year...

They sent him in the wrong direction! I would love to see Quinn playing for my Raiders.

Ok. I dont really follow fb much at all but know of some players names here and there. Apparently Tim Tebow was put onto the Jets as a secondary qb as of yesterday. Which I'm sure many of you avid nfl followers know already but just in case you didn't I figd I'd share

The punishment was so harsh because they continuously lied about having a bounty system.

The Raiders are waiting for O.J. to get out of jail, then they'll be baaack!

I fully expect they will be an improving team over the next few years. What they needed was a real front office and a head coach that's allowed to be coach.

So how does everyone think their team did in the draft or does anyone care?

I'd give my team a C+ or B-

who in the hell does Drew Brees think he is? holding out like a drama diva, smh

i'll laugh my ass off if he gets less than he wants

 

[sherlock]

If I was Brees why not hold out for the whole season? Might as well write it off now and sit this year out.

Doing that would decrease what he can ask for on his new contract.

Other teams would be scared to take a chance, seeing that NO didn't sign him, they may think something is up with his health or another (negative) reason why the Saints didn't sign him.

True but nonetheless, he might as well write off this coming season.
