Has anyone read the latest on this? Apparently on of the coaches, Gregg Williams, and a bunch of their players, had huge bounties on knocking out other players, literally, or knocking them out of the ballgame. Major thousands of dollars they invested in a "pot" until someone won the betting. And apparently the head coach, Sean Payton, was aware of what was going on.

Here's what one writer thinks the penalty should be, and I agree, if not more. After the HUGE fine the Patriots got, and the huge fines they give players for in game fouls, they need to send a strong message.

On stupidity alone, the Saints deserve to lose their first-round draft pick this year – except that they’ve already traded it to the New England Patriots. That shouldn’t stop commissioner Roger Goodell from taking a couple of picks this year or taking the 2013 first-rounder as the starting point for punishment.

Yes, that’s the starting point. From there, the Saints deserve a $500,000 fine as a team (hopefully that doesn’t cut into the Drew Brees contract fund), head coach Sean Payton deserves a $250,000 fine, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, now with the St. Louis Rams, deserves a $200,000 fine and each of the assistant coaches who participated deserve to at least be docked $50,000. On top of that, Loomis deserves to be fined and/or fired since he disobeyed an order from the owner.

That’s all in line with roughly what the punishment New England received in 2007 for the Spygate scandal.
