Saints 'bounty' scandal discipline upheld by NFL Commissioner
www.nfl.com
The New Orleans Saints, along with coach Sean Payton, general manager Mickey Loomis and assistant head coach Joe Vitt, were notified Monday that after careful consideration of their appeals, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has upheld the discipline that was imposed for continuing violations of the league’s anti-bounty rule that endangered player safety over a three-year period.
Not that we're surprised or anything.
Payton's suspension will begin on April 16, and from then on he cannot have any contact with the team until at least after the Super Bowl, when he can apply for reinstatement to the league.
