NFL suspends Saints coach Payton for one year without pay :o :o :o :o :o :o
The NFL announced Wednesday that New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton will be suspended for one season without pay for his involvement in the team's bounty program. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis has been suspended for eight games. Former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has been suspended indefinitely.
The NFL revealed March 2 the findings of a lengthy investigation into a Saints "bounty" program that gave thousands of dollars in payoffs to players for hits that knocked opponents out of games. The program, administered by then-defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, reached its height in 2009, the season the Saints won the Super Bowl.
The program ran in violation of league rules, and the investigation showed that Saints players received $1,500 for a "knockout" hit and $1,000 for a "cart-off" hit, with payouts doubling or tripling during the team's three playoff appearances.
The NFL Players Association formally requested that the league not punish the 22 to 27 players it cited in the scandal until the union had completed its independent investigation, which is underway, an NFLPA source told NFL.com's Steve Wyche.
The league initially did not respond to the union's request. The NFL told the NFLPA last Thursday, according to SI.com, that it was free to question any current or former Saints officials about the matter, but that it would not delay announcing its own decisions.
"We have given your requests careful consideration, and have concluded that there is no basis for delaying the imposition of any discipline in this matter, and particularly not as it may apply to a club or any non-player employee of a club," NFL attorney Jeff Pash wrote in the letter to union general counsel Richard Berthelsen on Wednesday. "Any disciplinary action affecting any player would be imposed only in a manner consistent with our Collective Bargaining Agreement. As you know, the sole authority to investigate and impose discipline in this matter rests with the Commissioner."
Williams, now defensive coordinator of the Rams, has admitted to and apologized for running the program.
Saints head coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis also were implicated in the scandal, and they released a statement March 6 in which they took full responsibility for the violations.
"We acknowledge that the violations disclosed by the NFL during their investigation of our club happened under our watch. We take full responsibility. This has brought undue hardship on (owner Tom) Benson, who had nothing to do with this activity. He has been nothing but supportive and for that we both apologize to him.
"These are serious violations and we understand the negative impact it has had on our game. Both of us have made it clear within our organization that this will never happen again, and make that same promise to the NFL and most importantly to all of our fans."

Hard hits and Bountys in NFL are dead ... so says Shawne Marriman
Welcome to the National Flag League ... wait until interest , tv rating, attendance drops ... all will be back to normal again
-
What about the Super Bowl trophy? ::) That's a real statement! Head coaches don't call the games anyway. NFL is full of shit.
-
So actually Sean Peyton is getting close to 7 million dollar fine for losing a years pay... Unbelievable and way overboard...I understand they're making a statement but...

Merriman got taken out against the Titans. Blatant cheap shot that fucked up his career. The Steelers live on "hard hits" or cheap shots.

Saints are and will always be the underdog of the NFL. I say that as a fan and someone who lives in LA

Had to happen this way.
Not a good year have an out-of-control defensive coordinator.......

That defensive coordinator most likely has a lot of dirt on the NFL and how things go on with "other" coaches. I could see him singing like a bird if in fact he gets a lifetime ban...
-
Its being said, that the NFL had word that the saints were having this Payday BOUNTY going on, and the NFL wen to New Orleans and told them, "WE HEAR YOUR DOING BOUNTYS .. STOP IT OR WE WILL GO DOWN ON YOU" ..... Saints laughed it off and continue to do it, once the NFL got a copy of the Proof (saints were keeping Logs of hits and the money flowing to players) the saints were fucked

I'm betting that Greg Williams is never reinstated.

they need to clean up the leagues imagine for sure. goodell sending a message but needs to focus more on the off field bullshit as well. waaaaay to much of that shit going on. if there were more one year suspensions handed out by the nfl how many of these priviledged fucking losers would be in the club punching out broads and getting rape claims hung on them.
i like this suspension, and i hope he keeps pressing.
-
So many people I've talked to think the Saints were the only ones that had a program like this.. Shit Greg Williams had it at Buffalo and the team before that. This isn't something that just started since Williams was at the Saints. Goodell is an idiot.

This man don't need no coach.

Now we can see how hollow and morally bankrupt sport and money really are. The players that are ok with doing this to their fellow compeer. And the people that think sports matters, paying to watch childlike men playing make believe games.
How about being a warrior instead, getting in to science and politics!

Sport of peace.
