so why payton still suspended then?

From what I'm reading, Tags is saying while the players did engage in "conduct detrimental" (bounties), the evidence involved was so contaminated by the Saints organization that there was no legal justification to suspend the players. Fines yes, suspensions no.

so why payton still suspended then?

Yes. All non-players involved got sufficient punishments.

Vilma said he's still suing Goodell for defamation of character.

Nothing better than smug white men getting sonned and by one of their own at that. I hope Vilma wins his case too.

cause you cant punish players for "following orders" from their boss. from the beginning it should have been one or the other not both. so SP is suspended still cause he "gave out or didnt stop the orders"

Very glad Tagliabue saw this as a top on down issue many of us saw it as from jump.

Can't wait to hear what Steven A"yessah boss" smith is gonna say.

 

[...and some waffle fries]

This was the league plan B when Vilmas appealed started picking up steam and their "investigation" was from a coach that got fired. Of course they made the decision with 2 games left. They still sabotaged the Saints season. Goodell couldn't renege on his harsh punishment. It was all damage control once the facts got out.

Damn, Tag shytted on his own boy like that.

Well good to see justice was served, I for one thought they were guilty, but I guess I was wrong.

I wonder if the coaches are going to challenge/file suits against the NFL now too, even though Williams admitted his wrongdoing.
