The NFL Thread

[DaveSims]

Going 'head hunting' for a bounty never does anyone any good... just ask the New Orleans Saints!

Head Coach Sean Payton: 1 yr. suspension from the NFL.

Def. Coordinator Gregg Williams (Now with STL): Banned INDEFINITELY from the NFL.

General Manager Mickey Loomis: Banned for the first 7 games of the '12-'13 Season.

Assistant Coach Joe Vitt: Banned for the first 6 games of the '12-'13 Season.

The TEAM:

Fined $500,000.00 USD

Forfeiture of their 2nd Round Draft picks for the 2012 AND the 2013 NFL Draft.

Was it worth it, guys?



Oh yeah... and Timothy Richard Tebow is now a NY Jet.

I would be really stunned that if the NFL did a REAL investigation of all the teams in the league, tons more of these types of deals would be uncovered.  I think they tried to make an example of the Saints, to make the others snap in line.

Just so stupid for the Rams to keep Williams. Pisses me off because it makes no sense. He probably won't ever be able to coach again, they need to just fire him. The Rams are trying to "rebuild" ...but how can you do that if you hire an inactive coach.

Looks like this season might be another tough one as a Rams fan....unless they get Justin Blackmon ....................

Miami Dolphins' Jim 'Mad Dog' Mandich's son Nick to try out

Jim "Mad Dog" Mandich was a part of the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins team. Now, his son Nick has been invited to try out for the same franchise.

Nick Mandich, a tight end, the same position as his father, played at Southern Connecticut State University, where he collected 37 catches for 303 yards over three seasons and impressed the team during Miami's workout day before the draft ...

Cute but I doubt he'll make the team.
