Bountygate and all the shitstorm related to it is exceedingly more significant and unprecedented than any scandal this league has ever gone through. Look how long Katrina was talked about. Look how long Mike Vick was talked about.

It's absurd, like REALLY absurd, to expect this thing to go away or be minimized out of relevance in the time frame you contend.

And I'm assuming you meant Rams and not 49'ers.

A coach has likely been banned for life from the sport.
A head coach is going to lose $6M in salary and miss a year and will eventually come back and ignite this entire thing again when he does.
The player's punishment hasn't even been announced and it could totally jack up the depth and quality of play for the team depending on it's severity.
When the players come back, it's a story.
When Loomis comes back, it's a story.
If the Saints win a lot, it's a story. If they lose a lot, it's a story. If they are average, it's a story.
Every time there's an illegal hit and a fine, it's a story and bounties will be brought up.
When the class-action lawsuit goes to trial, bounties will be a big part of the story.
And when the league has to pay a couple Billion dollars to settle the suit, it's going to be part of the story.

This is going to go on for years, Guido. You're being so foolishly naive.

This story will only get bigger. With the SB in NO, you've seen nothing yet. Your players are going to regret going to work soon, and it will show on the field no matter how big a game they, and you, talk.

Congrats again on beating Cancer. I like you. Just hate your team.

And the players know they have the product to win it all again and will come out balling.
