Nfl Bounty Penalties: Sean Payton Suspended One Year/saints Fined & Lose Draft Pick (Merge)

So.....the Super Bowl long awaited victory that raised the spirit of the entire poulation of New Orleans after their hurricane flood was all for not!! Ha-ha it is what it is. The city is among the most crooked in the nation and so we learn is their team. Payton is out 7.5 million bucks and their shot at another SB drowned withis second hurricane. This is welcomed news to all that simply want to play any sport to the best of their ability without reaching for the gold and greed.

Harsh? Yes. Warranted yes. This game is violent enought to be head hunting other players and with incentives to boot.

Goodel; has come down hard on players, and it was right for him to come down heavily on the Saints and involved parties.

Yes I am a fan of the Packers and Rodgers and I read Rodgers was a target of a bounty.

Still, I don't think I care too much.

It's football.

What no bounty was on Curtis Painter? Oh the horror!!!!! I feel disrespected now.

The NFL told Payton to stop, and he didn't.

The NFL then investigated, and Payton lied to them.

He's been punished appropriately.

One other thing that is for sure, Saints fans in their forums have given some not so nice responses...Let's just say Roger Goodell better have some extra security at the SB next year
