The Saints coach, Dats who.
Sean Payton has been suspended without pay for the entire year, other assitants have multi game suspension's and fines. They have not even got to the players.
Espn Reports that this will cost Payton around 12 million.
Wow!
Good!
Paying a player for injuring another play is the ultimate in poor sportsmanship.
Goodell is a class act.
That one is a doozy. Good to see that for once a league (any pro league) is taking it serious. Tough break for the 'Aints, I like them. But they deserve it, and not just because they got caught.
Look for the criminal charges to follow. All the way from racketeering to assault & battery, with intent. Maybe not from NO police, but certainly some road game city will be under the microscope. And we all know how over anxious apsiring prosecutors and amublance chasing lawyers can be. Then the civil suits.
Maybe that's why Williams bailed on them. Sorta like a Pete Carroll and knew things were heating up.
Joe Horn was on a local New Orleans TV show saying that every team he has ever played on had a similar bounty albeit under the table. It is my understanding that the Saint's coaching staff was so dumb that they PUT IT IN WRITING! Tens of millions of dollars down the tube because of that! How could smart grown men be so stupid? And if they don't sign Drew Brees, it's just going to get worse from here.
