interesting discussion stemming from Sean Payton being suspended by the NFL.

What the Saints did wasn't cheating. It may have been abhorrent to professional sports but it wasn't breaking the established rules (I'm sure there is some verbage about bounties but not in the traditional gaining an advantage sense). So some Saints fans that are season ticket holders are talking about suing the NFL for ruining their investment by intentionally putting the Saints at a competitive disadvantage.

Not sure it will go anywhere but I think it has merit.

That's why I think Parcells should come back and coach for a season. Just fuck Goodell in his eye.

while at the same time he and Payton have planning sessions all week, and then Payton pulls double duty as an analyst on TV.

The way around it is called "violation of the integrity of the game".

With that said, Fuck New Orleans and anyone that looks like them.

In an incident dubbed "Spygate,"[16] on September 9, 2007, NFL security caught a Patriots video assistant taping the New York Jets' defensive signals from an on-field location. Jets coach Eric Mangini, a former Patriots assistant, tipped off league officials that the Patriots might have been filming their signals. After the game, the Jets formally complained to the league.

On September 13, the NFL fined Belichick $500,000—the largest fine ever imposed on a coach in the league's 87-year history,[17] and fined the Patriots $250,000. Additionally, the Patriots forfeited their first round draft pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Goodell said that he fined the Patriots as a team because Belichick exercises so much control over the Patriots' on-field operations that "his actions and decisions are properly attributed to the club." Goodell considered suspending Belichick, but decided that taking away draft picks would be more severe in the long run.[18]

Belichick later issued the following statement:

"I accept full responsibility for the actions that led to tonight's ruling. Once again, I apologize to the Kraft family and every person directly or indirectly associated with the New England Patriots for the embarrassment, distraction and penalty my mistake caused.

Of course actually cheating calls for less severe penalties.

It's risk adjusted for the fact it's a teacher and he was probably 165 lbs of testosterone and porntube. She is a 9, with those baked in.

I posted earlier about what the NBA/David Stern's reaction would be... he'd be just as pissed that teams are circumventing the salary cap by paying players outside of the terms of their contracts

Out of all the analyst reaction I've only heard one comment on it by Peter King on one of the ESPN podcasts. No one is talking about it because player safety is what the league wants this issue to be about.

The league could go after the Saints for just paying guys, period. They could also ask to see the books & maybe wonder if taxes were applied to the payments as well.

There's a shytload of ways the NFL can go after the Saints on this.

Say you're an agent who represents an up & coming defensive end who is about to see a very lucrative payday in the form of a long term deal when he hits free agency, then the team puts the franchise tag on your guy.

You're pissed, the player is pissed, he must now accept a 1 year deal where he is paid the average of the top 5 salaries at his position.

If I'm the agent I tell the team & league to go fuck themselves because if the forced salary is the average of the top 5 salaries then they better include the unreported salaries those 5 guys collected as bounties last year.
