More Gronk for the people!
I wouldn't call you a bad person, maybe just a little bit less good.
I'd be drinking on my birthday, that's for sure.

The Packers are owned by their fans so using that logic they are definitely next in line.
Playing for Coughlin seems to be punishment enough so I don't know what more Goodell could do to them.
Make them resign Tiki.

Is it too late for new years resolutions? I'm actually going to post this year instead of just lurk
Depends on your team and if we're full already. Steelers-age is at capacity as is Packers-age until Buckethead gets banned again.

I expect even more teams to be punished for bounties. People are delusional if they think the Saints are the only team that does it.

Maybe the other teams find other ways to motivate their players?
For the billionth time, nobody thinks that the Saints are the only team that does this. The Saints were just dumb enough to ignore instructions from the NFL and leave a paper trail in the process.

Nobody is saying the Saints are the only team who've done it.
They're the only team who have been so flippant and brazen about it. If other teams have been doing what the Saints have been doing then they'll be punished too. It doesn't seem like there are other teams out there which were so utterly reckless and demonstrated a complete lack of disregard for both the league and the integrity of the game.

Or we can ignore the info that came out that other teams ran bounties in the past such as the Titans and the Ravens. http://www.examiner.com/nfl-in-nati...nd-baltimore-ravens-had-bounty-programs-place
I would imagine it was common. Where is the investigation into other teams?
The Ravens are protected by the ever sharp knife of Ray Lewis and the NFL does not investigate coaches with mustaches.
If a handshake upset Schwartz, could you imagine what an investigation might do? We're talking "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" hulk levels of rage.

I'm one of the few Saint's fans that have no problem with the punishment,but I would like to see investigations into other teams especially with so many players stating they were involved with bounty systems.
Have bounties been placed on opposing players? Absolutely. But it's more of a random thing than what the Saints were doing. They had a whole system running year wide, set up by the coaches AND accepting money from outside of the organization. I seriously doubt that anybody other than Greg Williams every did this type of crap, and if they do/did, they deserve to get perma-banned, also.
The other thing to remember, is that this was essentially 3 violations.
1. They got caught for running a bounty scheme. Roger Goodell told them to stop. If it had ended there, they would have gotten away with NO punishment whatsoever.
2. They got caught for running a bounty scheme, again. The same bounty scheme, in fact. The Saints front office and coaches just kept on keeping on even though they were warned.
3. They lied to the Rog's face. Told him they would stop, but didn't. Told them they weren't doing it, but were. This is the one that turned a probable 4 game suspension for Payton into a year, I'm sure.

If other teams were told to stop by the league and blatantly disregarded Goodell telling them to stop multiple times, including lying to his face, then they'd be facing some severe punishments too.
Punishing other teams for a bounty system before the league office really cared about it is pretty stupid.

The league's not going to start looking for other teams to hit on this because it will just create a giant circus. You think they're going to suspend another 3, 4, 5 or however many head coaches along with general managers not to mention X amount of players? Plus, they'll never have the obvious proof that the Saints were dumb enough to leave behind. The message has been sent and that's the end of it.

I approve of this message!
And some people keep telling themselves that it won't even be as powerful as the 360, which is backed up by absolutely nothing and is a bigger joke than the Panthers defense.
Also, the 720 and PS4 will likely not be the huge jumps we've been seeing, but it won't necessarily be a Wii situation either.
I don't know, maybe Sony is still crazy and will find some way to lose $400+ per system again without the BR drive driving up the cost.
But basically, :jnc.
You kids and your doo wop music.
Nope. He's fortunate it was his first offense or it seems he'd have been perma'd.
haha I wish they hadn't gotten that guy a new seat.
