Saints' Punishment Isn't About Bounties

[Delhommey]

Let's be very clear about this. The New Orleans Saints are not reeling today because the defense chose to implement a bounty system designed to injure other quarterbacks. They are not reeling because some jilted informant told the league about their secret club. The Saints will be without Sean Payton in 2012 because they committed what the NFL perceives to be a more serious crime: They lied to Roger Goodell.

Didn't know Payton sent e-mails about bounties FROM HIS NFL E-MAIL ADDRESS.

Idiots.

Not only did they lie, they continued to do this after being told not to That is beyond dumb.

In fact if i recall correctly i just read that Sean Payton had contingency plans in place in case he got suspended for 4 games (LOL), on who would run the team for that time.
