The Saints "Again" in Trouble.

Here we go again with our STATE funded parasite.
I thought Payton and Loomis were gone after the Feds had them on drug issues.
The NFL has hit them HARD.  WOW!.  
********1 year for Saint Sean, 2-2nd rounders, D coord out indefinitely.

There must be so much more behind the scenes that the NFL has covered up.
Jonathan says that the fact that the NFL told them to stop and they continued is a driving force.
It seems too severe with our current information.

Penalties:
*The New Orleans Saints are fined $500,000. In addition, because the violation involves a competitive rule, the Saints will forfeit their selections in the second round of the 2012 and 2013 NFL drafts.
• Saints coach Sean Payton is suspended without pay for the 2012 NFL season, effective April 1.
• Saints general manager Mickey Loomis is suspended without pay for the first eight regular-season games of the 2012 season.
• Former Saints (and current St. Louis Rams) defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is suspended indefinitely from the NFL, effective immediately. Commissioner Goodell will review Coach Williams' status at the conclusion of the 2012 season and consider whether to reinstate him, and, if so, on what terms. Commissioner Goodell said he will give close attention to the extent to which Coach Williams cooperates with the NFL in any further proceedings.
• Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt is suspended without pay for the first six regular-season games of the 2012 season.
• The Saints and the individuals disciplined are expected to participate in efforts led by the league office to develop programs that will instruct players and coaches at all levels of the game on the need for respect for the game and those who participate in it, on principles of fair play, safety and sportsmanship, and to ensure that bounties will not be part of football
