OUCH.

Re: Saints Player Suspensions Announced
Wow.
This impacts the Browns (Fujita) and Seahawks (Hargrove) as well.
Now we know why the Saints signed Curtis Lofton and Daniel Hawthorne.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Saints Player Suspensions Announced
So why exactly were the players fined? Did they run/help run the system?

Re: Saints Player Suspensions Announced
Wow! One year?!? I'm guessing its because Goodell wants a 'safe and clean' league he wants to send a message.

Re: Saints Player Suspensions Announced
What does that mean? Do they have evidence of Vilma specifically targeted and hitting people with illegal hits?
I may be in the minority, but until Goodell comes out and gives valid reasons for these punishments, I'm going to support the players in this instance. These punishments are ludicrous without a really good explanation.

Re: Saints Player Suspensions Announced
They deserve punishment, HARSH punishment. They earned all of what they're getting. Kudos to Sheriff Goddell.

Re: Saints Player Suspensions Announced
Again, they have evidence and documentation on Vilma specifically advocating and supporting these bounties.
Vilma reportedly put $10,000 cash on the table in the team’s meeting room and said the cash would go to anyone who could knock Brett Favre out of the NFC Championship Game in January of 2010.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Saints Player Suspensions Announced
From that same article:
The NFL says that Hargrove eventually admitted his role in the team’s bounty program, but that at first “Hargrove also actively obstructed the league’s 2010 investigation into the program by being untruthful to investigators.”Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Saints Player Suspensions Announced
Anyone that could even be remotely linked to Greg Williams and the "bounty scandal" was going to get punished severely. The Saints obviously knew this was going to happen otherwise they wouldn't have signed 2 top rated inside linebackers.
