According to Ed Anderson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Committee on Senate and Governmental Affairs passed a resolution urging the NFL to reconsider the punishment.

The resolution cites “widespread public opinion throughout the state of Louisiana and beyond that the penalties imposed upon the Saints are too harsh and should be reconsidered.” Though the public opinion beyond Louisiana isn’t necessarily widespread, the penalties are indeed harsh.

There is nothing else of importance in the entire state of Louisiana. That's why they're doing this.

Next they will be making a resolution suggesting to Brees that he sign the tender.....

Instead of fixing that poo infested state that has one of the worst education systems in America, they worry about the consequences from the NFL bounties.

...where the taxpayers are too stupid to realize that they themselves have been paying Saints owner Tom Benson millions to keep the team in Louisiana. That's kind of like an "anti-bounty", right? We'll pay you not to fug us up by moving the team to San Antonio or California.

Yeah, it's funny how they are backing this. I mean, yeah, I understand the backing of your team. And understand the whole "bringing the state together" and giving them something to believe in thing. But really?

Maybe some of the politicians paid in too, and don't wanna have it go to far. LOL At this point, I wouldn't be surprised by anything.

government is just pissed that they didn't collect any taxes on those bounty payments!
