We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention this. The hammer was brought down on the New Orleans Saints for their bounty system.
The Fucking Hammer! Also known as commissioner Roger Goodell.
The NFL wanted to make it clear such things are not in vogue. And they did well. Here are the details.
- Saints coach Sean Payton is suspended for one year
- former Saints and current St. Louis Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is suspended indefinitely
- Saints general manager Mickey Loomis suspended for eight games
- Saints lose two second-round draft picks (this year and 2013)
Uh… holy shit!
That’s our first reaction. Hey, these asshats shouldn’t have done what they did, even though we were all for them targeting Brett Favre when he played for the Minnesota Vikings. The Rog did what he wanted to do — sent a message. And here’s what that message said: DO NOT EVEN THINK YOU CAN TRIFLE WITH THE ROG!!
The Saints learned a hard lesson and frankly, we don’t feel a shred of pain for them. The Saints can suck our balls.
Obviously, no one will ever do this sort of thing again.
Well put, Monty.
Pain? I’m pretty fricking happy about it.
So, all the guys who criticized TT for hiring MM instead of Payton, where are you now? What do you have to say for yourselves?
Roger Goodell is the GREATEST COMMISSIONER EVER.
Don’t forget, the packers got caught on a non-injury bounty system a couple of years ago (http://www.nfl.com/news/story?confirm=true&id=09000d5d8048ec12&template=with-video).
Also, I wonder if the current Wide Receiver Best buy gift card for dropped passes gets suspended out of an over abundance of caution.
Holy F**k! I can’t believe this.
…we actually agree on something.
Im STILL not happy that he screwed everything up for Johnny Jolly, and that he basically gave Ben Roethlisberger a smack on the hand, i wanted to see big ben expelled from the league!
But i gotta hand it to the commisioner for kicking the Saints directly in the ballz. Its just so SATISFYING to see those overrated Saints finally eat the dirt!
Sucks for the rams wonder how that is going to be handled and I can’t wait for Vilma to be sitting out for a year as well
Side note: Sean Payton was actually interviewed before McCarthy the year the Packers picked him up…also, if it weren’t for the Saints’ dirty play, Favre may not have hobbeled into that game-losing pick he threw, preventing the slimy ViQueens from ever winning their first Superbowl…which they still don’t have :(
just like PackerFuck to derail the comment section with his/her innane jibberish. i wasn’t talking to you, PackerFuck. hole = crawl into.
What exactly does suspending a GM do to a team during the season?
Jeff Ircink, if you don’t like the Packers don’t comment here. Everyone knows who you are so expect to take shit here unless you change your name. Packer fuck? Really dude? Viking fuck, go to vikingsblog.com and whine.
Doesn’t seem like the punishment fits the crime. Especially when lots of teams are supposedly doing it.
hack – i go where i want. bountygate affected my team and QB. so i’ll comment. fuck off.
Correction, Just like PackerFanInFL to call out a sheep fucking viking fan named Jeff Ircink. Really who is gonna fault me for that you are not even a real person.hahahaha
