New Orleans Saints "bounty" scandal
What do others think about the Saints "bounty" scandal and the looming punishments for the coaches, players, and other team personnel that were involved (or kept silent about it)? In my opinion, Gregg Williams should be banned for life because his conduct in engineering these bounty rackets has spanned over a decade. He has obviously shown a complete unwillingness to follow NFL rules and concern for player safety. Sean Payton, despite not being a direct participant, should probably be fired because his knowledge of and refusal to report it makes him just as culpable as Williams. The 22-27 players involved (according to reports) should probably receive hefty fines and possible suspensions.
Granted, New Orleans is certainly not the first team to institute something like this, but Roger Goodell should nonetheless go down on them hard so as to deter any future misconduct of this nature.
