I'm still pissed that high-low hit on Favre in the '09 NFC Championship game went unpunished and players not disqualified!

Bastards should have their Lombardi Trophy reliquished as well!

I think the trophy going away would've been a nice touch too Libertas. Although I can see how that would taint Super Bowl history from the league's perspective, unlike this sever penalty on the Saints, which just affects the Saints.

In addition, I'd like to see players who participated in this get an unpaid year off.

I heard there might be some loss of drafts picks, that'll hurt.

Duh Choc-o-lat city roosters coming back to roost!

Yeah, that's a cryin' shame!

Commish announces player suspensions relating to BountyGate -

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d828cf1cf/article/saints-jonathan-vilma-suspended-for-2012-season

Vilma gets to sit for the season.  Ouch, babe!

Saints are in for an interesting season.

Kinda sucks for Packers who are without Hargrove for 8 games, but thats the chance you take with free agency.
