NFL Offseason

[kujay]

How do you suspend a GM for 8 games? I'm not sure how that works.

 

That's my question. Does he just have to stay away and have no contact with the organization?

[jersey cubs fan]

How do you suspend a GM for 8 games? I'm not sure how that works.

 

You don't let him in the building or let him make any moves, or have any conversations with personel.

[SpongeWorthy]

This will be a nice little control experiment in NO on whether the system makes the QB or the other way around.

[Old Style]

Damn. Goodell swinging a big ass ban hammer today.

So does he get to work between now and the opening game?

[shnsajax]

The Jets have the best stockpile of shitty QB's in the league.

I doubt it. The NFL operating season "started" with free agency didn't it?

Does a player that suspending for the first few games of the season get to participate in OTA's and training camp? I honestly don't know.

[Smack]

Also, the NFL trade deadline is after Week 6 so he wouldn't be able to make any trade deadline deals. Not that it happens a lot.

Payton's is effective April 1st, so I would assume the others are as well.

[SouthSideRyan]

Mark Sanchez sucks, I don't know how you don't make Tebow the starter.

[jersey cubs fan]

Sanchez's team has won a hell of a lot more than Tebow's.

[OleMissCub]

Unreal. Belichick was complicit in straight up cheating with SpyGate and he just got a fine.

 

I'm not saying the Saints and/or some of their personnel shouldn't be punished but suspending the head coach for a whole year? Excessive.

[Theo]

Good for Goodell. All punishments well deserved.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Damn.

[Warpticon]

Mark Sanchez sucks, I don't know how you don't make Tebow the starter.

 

Because Tebow sucks also, except that in order to feign effectiveness with him you need to install a high school offense?

[cubbyvirus00]

Cant say I feel bad for the Saints. One less team to worry about in the NFC.

Right, but the Saints were also complicit in straight up cheating, warned repeatedly not to do it and completely ignored those warnings, so, well, this happens.

Sanchez's team was a hell of a lot better than Tebow's.

 

The Broncos kinda suck.

[jersey cubs fan]

The Broncos kinda suck.

 

Mostly because their horrible QB sucked.

[El Duderino]

can't believe payton got a year. damn.

[Guest]

At least he'll have time to make his leg better.

[Formerly Snayke]

So does this mean Steve Spagnuolo is the new head coach of the Saints? I can't wait to see Drew Brees hand off 25 times in the second half.

[SouthSideRyan]

The Broncos kinda suck.

Kyle Orton? I wouldn't call him horrible.

[Banedon]

“I did talk to him and he’s stunned to say the least,” Glazer said. “I think the entire team thought maybe there’d be a four-game suspension, but not a year. I said, ‘Are you OK?’ And he said, ‘No, I’m not OK.’ He is stunned. He’s going to lose about $8 million. He is beside himself here.”

 

Glazer reports that Payton’s plan for the four-game suspension he had braced himself for was to have assistant head coach/linebackers coach Joe Vitt take over as interim head coach while Payton served the suspension. But that plan is now out the window because Vitt has been suspended six games for his own role in the bounty scandal.

 

The Saints may now have either offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael or former Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo, who was slated to replace Gregg Williams as defensive coordinator, step in as the head coach.
