papazoid Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Per a league source, Sean Payton has been suspended for the full year. Gregg Williams has been suspended indefinitely. Mickey Loomis has been suspended for eight game. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/21/goodell-lowers-boom-on-the-saints/
26CornerBlitz Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Wow!!! Howard Balzer @HBalzer721 Saints $500,000 and lose second-round pick in 2012 and maybe 2013. Some tweeting 2012 and 2012. Howard Balzer @HBalzer721 Gregg Williams suspended indefinitely. What does that mean? Sean Payton suspended for a year. Mickey Loomis eight games and $500,000 fine.

mrider Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Plus they lost their 2nd rounders for this and next years draft. Crazy stuff.
nucci Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Payton a year, Williams indefinite http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/21/goodell-lowers-boom-on-the-saints/
biglukes Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) I'm a little confused as to how a suspension in terms of games would work for a GM. Edited March 21, 2012 by biglukes
QB Bills Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Buddy needs to act quick and go grab Brees in the aftermath of this. Put down the Maalox and get to it Mr. Nix!!
Mike in Syracuse Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Mr. Airhorn and "no fat guys" just got dump trucked by the commish!
26CornerBlitz Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Buddy needs to act quick and go grab Brees in the aftermath of this. Put down the Maalox and get to it Mr. Nix!! Not possible, Brees has an exclusive franchise tag that precludes teams from signing him in lieu of draft picks.
It's in My Blood Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Wow. Kinda shocked @ the length for Peyton. Greggo is gone for a long time imo.
mountainwampus Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 So, why didn't Belicheat get suspended for spygate? Seems like that was at least equally unethical.
Buftex Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Wow!!!!!!! I am really shocked by this. I am not the worlds biggest fan of Roger Goodell, but I give him credit, he doesn't !@#$ around.
PromoTheRobot Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) So, why didn't Belicheat get suspended for spygate? Seems like that was at least equally unethical. As much as I hate Billy Bellicheat, this is worse. I'm actually pleased the NFL came down hard. They needed to. PTR Edited March 21, 2012 by PromoTheRobot
Santana Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 That's a major blow for the Saints, thank god it's not us.....GO BILLS!!!
cgang Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 How does the suspension work? Is the coach completely cut off from any team activities at all, or just game days?
TheBrownBear Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Holy crap!!! That is some legit punishment there. Impressive. Love Goodell's management style, if not his overall vision.
