[Deuce]

[The Sensei]

Sean payton suspended 1 whole year

[griz]

[t-wizzle]

This is fukking awesome.

[Easy-Rider 66]

Roger rules with an Iron fist. I thought Payton would get about 8 games.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Good.

[jjgold]

He knew about it

Too short

[zoo youk]

wow. there goes the Saints season.

[soul786]

Its too bad but I guess he had it coming

[PickWinnerAllDay]

I think all coaches that knew about it should get a lifetime ban.

Were these coaches going to give a shit if the injuries suffered were career ending injuries for the opponent? Probably not. Ban these scumbags permanently. Way worse than what Pete Rose did in baseball and he got a life ban.

[itchypickle]

WOW

[Ghenghis Kahn]

this is gotta be the first. never heard of coaches getting suspended for the whole season.

[Darkside Magick]

if i'm drew brees ..... im gone...he will not sign franchise tag and hold out

[Deuce]

Also, nit wit D Coord at Rams out indefinitely.

[TheMetsSuck]

what a joke. past players laugh at this bounty crap. been going on forever and the saints take the heat

[griz]

i dont see what the big deal is

i want my team injuring the fukk out of the other team

[Louisvillekid1]

what a joke, that' is waay too much....

[Full Time Hobo]

i dont see what the big deal is

i want my team injuring the fukk out of the other team

The only thing wrong is that they were getting bonuses to purposefully take someone out of the game.

[daneblazer]

Dropping the hammer on the scumbag Saints. I guess it's too late for the Vikings and Favre to play in the Superbowl now.

[Carseller4]

I'm f'n pissed.

Players Union so strong so they can't touch the players so they take it out on a coach?

Look for a high profile coach to sign a 1-year deal, and Payton will be back.

[oiler]

but does the punishment fit the crime.do think the punishment fits the crime but they didnt suspend enough guys who either knew about it and didnt do anything to stop it or the guys who tried to hurt other players for a financial reward.since they couldnt suspend every player who had were involved in this bounty,the only other thing they could do was suspend the coach

[Carseller4]

NFL will be 2-hand touch by 2015.

[opie1988]

Good. Hate the Saints.

Get him the fukk out.

[Mr Handicapable]

I'm no Saints fan but that is bull$hit. I think it was Whitner for SF that speared Pierre Thomas in the head last year on the 1st drive at the 2 yd line. It knocks Thomas out for the game & costs NO the chance to advance...No penalty....supposed clean hit? Now NO gets hammered when every recent hit they show on TV is cleaner/safer than Whitner's hit. The defense is SUPPOSED to hit the offense as hard as they can! You can only intimidate offensive players if one of them gets crushed once in a while.

[ZBOIZ]

As long as Pete Carmichael is calling the plays we'll be ok!

He was in the runnings to get the colts job this year

[Louisvillekid1]

not one saints player got fined more than 15k for a hit last year....

[onlooker]

Without pay?

[stevenash]

been going on forever

Since the game was invented, that's how some of the players made their beer money back in the 30's

[ZBOIZ]

But this penalty is BULLSH!T!

[Emily_Haines]

commissioner is worse than Hitler

why not just kill him instead?

[infamousbacardi]

commissioner is worse than Hitler

why not just kill him instead?

Oh yes you're right, suspending a few sports figures for getting caught doing something stupid (even if overly harsh penalties ensued) is much greater of an atrocity than killing 6 million jews. You're an idiot.

[Smoke]

Fukkin pricks deserve it

Throw the hammer down

[daneblazer]

Goodell has to set an example and cover the leagues ass for future and current lawsuits involving player health. The punishment had to be severe

[ProfaneReality]

This seems harsh
