No one has given me the list yet of the players that were carted off the field. I guess the league is also saying that their refs are blind and all need to be replaced.



JFC Afio. So since they were often unsuccessful that makes it okay?

That money to a pro football player is NOTHING. Not even to a rookie making league minimum.



You clearly don't know anything about the psychology behind cash incentives.

Yeah, lets also ignore the fact that this is player pooled money that goes into a kitty to be paid out to the players. So much for office pools in the NFL!

Odd that the Redskins had no fines or suspensions when they admitted doing this exact same thing in 2008 with Gregg Williams on the staff. It is said he also did this with the Bills, Titans, and Jags, but nothing done there either. Odd that it is only the Saints, and don't get me wrong, I don't even like the Saints. There is something else going on here.

No, but what about all the other players coming out saying this went on in their locker rooms?

It was not okay, and I am troubled by it, but please, do you believe this was the first time this happened?

At least I am not a season ticket holder anymore.

I think I will boycott all pro football this season.

I am surprised at Payton's punishment. It feels excessive when compared to Loomis whom we know blatantly lied by his own admission. To the NFL and to his owner as well. It feels like the punishments between those two should be reversed.

I think the franchise itself got off light compared to what I feared. I thought they would lose first round picks (and certainly more than two) and much more than 500k.

As for Williams...I think that if he is reviewed after 2012 and let back in...in effect receiving the same punishment as Payton..that will be a travesty. No way Payton should receive the same punishment as Williams. But we shall see.

Finally, yes, it's been said most teams do this. Fine. However, the Saints are the team that got caught and they must pay the price. I'm just going to be loving life if they come out and rip it up anyway shutting up all the "holier than thou, oh we don't do this so they deserve it" attitudes I see here and elsewhere. Save it.

Good decision by Goodell. He has been limp wristed with fines for most things, it is time he actually made an example of someone.

Payton's defense was that he said he didn't read his emails.
