This is moreso right or wrong. I was a huge Vick fan but I can look at him and say he did something stupid and whatever punishment he gets is deserved.

Thats how I look at Payton. Thats the punishment everybody is up in arms about. I respect the heck out of Payton but the fact is he was warned and he lied and covered it up for years. Whatever he gets he deserves. So I'm not asking to step off the homer status that you hold so dear. Yes cheer til your head falls off bc I would do the same. This situation is on a diff level. Since we are talking other fans acting the same...what about if it was opposite?

What if instead of the Saints it was the Falcons and Mike Smith got suspended for a year? Would u feel the punishment was to severe then?

I don't know. I was one of those that thought the whole Spygate thing was way overblown. You see, I came from that 70's era of antiestablishmentarianism. I have always rebelled against the administration. Too many rules hamper creativity.

That said, I believe I would still disagree with the outcome. I can't say for sure, but I believe my distaste for "The Man" would overcome any dislike of the Falcons.
