Having spent most of my life as a Saints fan this is but a speck of fly crap in a pepper shaker. There is no reason why the Saints shouldn't be able to be the host team come next February. Call it homerism if you wish. I call it confidence.

So you're saying Benson should just fire Payton and remove the HC job from the organizational chart because apparently it serves no purpose Smile

But you're right, this was quite light punishment. For a team to be officially recognized as the dirtiest team in the league, this is way too light on draft pick loss.

I call it denial.

Well, they didn't have a #1 to take this year, and after this season, a #2 will be like a #1! Smile

We still haven't heard what players may be looking at suspensions...

Yeah, looked like the NFLPA wants to finish their investigation before punishing the what 22-27~ players, so as to give them a proper punishment.

Two second round picks was pretty light. I was expecting a lot more than that. Loomis' suspension is a joke since most of his job is during the off-season.

Happy times to be a saint fan huh? Yeah...you didn't miss very much am I right? let the good times roll for the saints reguardless. With Sean Peyton gone and two second round draft picks, Your more closer to a championship than you ever was. "Ok" no problem. Sean Peyton is not a big part of the team. Carmicheal should step in, and be the Saints new head coach. What's the point of the Owner bullshittin around then? Cut tides with Sean Peyton right now since Carmicheal and Brees can carry the load.

I'm not happy they didn't lose their 1st round pick next year too.

I agree. Roger should have came down on the Saints much harder (losing next years first round pick) on the other hand, the punishment is far from being light.

I hope they only fine the existing players. When we beat the shit out of the Saints both games this year, I don't want Guido to have any excuses.

Per his words and attitude right now, if the Saints lose to the Falcons, he can't come here and go "Well we were missing our HC and GM and the team has been eaten alive by the media."
