How bad can Goodell punish Saints?

[pdandy1994]

Could Goodell bring in some types of NCAA punishments such as denying any postseason trips or vacating past wins? Could he also ban Gregg Williams?

I doubt he does any of that. Remember the NFL spent millions to build up New Orleans after the hurricane, they don't want to be contributing to any demise here. The response will be severe but measured. Fines, loss of draft picks are most likely. I don't think they can ban anyone but could suspend Williams for a year and fine him which both are likely.

I hope the draft picks are taken away.

Prob a 1st or 2nd rnd pick at the least.

couple draft picks, maybe fines.

Draft picks, fines, suspensions is what to expect here. And even that would be too easy on them.

[thunderraiden]

draft picks hopefully. that seems to be the most visible punishment to everyone, especially the taints fans :)

[pdandy1994]

I still feel like thats pedestrian to the situation at hand, IMO

Lol i'm thinking most Panther fans are hoping they get to play the Saints with key members of their staff and players suspended.....How weak is that?

[rico6]

Weak? Not even, they deserve to be gimped for a game or two.

[The Saw]

Taking away of the franchise tag?

:D

If it was any other team in the league, I'd feel the same way...its completely dishonoring the game, worse so than spygate. Its nothing but malicious greed. It just happens to be my least favorite team in the league :D

Of course Greg Williams is no longer on the staff so I'm not sure how much the staff could be punished anyways.
