Title: Saints bountygate penalty -- what is good appropriate punishment?
Post by: Aske on March 05, 2012, 06:10:48 AM
I'd say

retroactively strip franchise tag, and apply for 2 more seasons
strip 2012 2nd , 3rd round picks
strip 2013 1st round pick
strip 2014 1st round pick

Suspend Payton 1 season
Ban Williams for life


Also, the IRS might just be cracking down on people

And can you imagine if Manning sues the Redskins ?

Dungy says the Saints aren't the only team doing this, and I believe him.

As far as penalties, I wouldn't even know where to start, honestly.

I believe him too. They are the only one (as we know of) that were investigated, warned by the league to stop, and didn't.

If Darthy Rodge wants to not look like a hypocrite on "player safety" be better hammer them to set precedence.

Take away 21% of their scholarships for three years and also take away any championship titles, including wild card, conference, league and superbowl titles.  NO MORE BOWL GAMES for life!!!!

They can keep any Grand Marshall of the Parade titles they've accumulated.  whatev.  nobody cares about that at all anyway

Sean Payton is suspended for a year, Gregg Williams banned indefinitely, and the Saints lose a couple draft picks and fined $500K.

...general manager Mickey Loomis was suspended for the first eight regular-season games...

LOL. What the hell does a GM do DURING the season that's that important anyway? They should suspend him now before the draft up until the beginning of the 2012 season.

agree GM should be suspended entire year
and
2013 1st AND 2nd gone
Franchise tag revoked for 2 seasons
20% cap hit for 2 seasons
franchise pays $25M to various charities to the disabled

this would be 100% appropriate to me in light of learning now how the Saints potentially exposed the NFL and its outcomes to vegas goons
