Ummmmm... Why shouldn't Payton be suspended? Are you a Saints fan by the way?
Payton should have known what was going on with his franchise and upheld league rules.... He did know what was going on with his franchise but didn't uphold league rules... He actively placed bets as well (The NFL found an email of Payton asking to be put down for, "5 thousand for Aaron Roger's head.").... Then, he lied to the League and tried to cover up the whole incident....
Payton got exactly what he deserved.
Huge difference between a player getting pissed and having "a moment" and coaches and players participating in bounties. A complex system with incentives dependent upon the severity of the injury. You failing to see the difference here is dishonest.

Blind siding Kurt Warner when he has no chance to make a play? Come on folks, Warner couldn't tackle a chair. Yet, this guy (Warner had a bounty on him too. Wonder how much this guy was rewarded?) felt the need to blow him up after an interception.
Um yeah, pretty simple here, HOMER GLASSES.
Draft is a day and a half away.
BN's predictions:
Top 5: Luck, RG3, Kalil, Richardson, Claiborne.
round out the 10:
6 StL: Blackmon WR OKSt. The Rams will probably want to trade down or up but if they are stuck this is their guy.
7 Jax: Reiff LT Iowa These guys want to trade down bad. If no takers take the tackle.
8 Mia: Cox DT Miss St. Whoops bye Tanny. All hype no bite. He will slide at least to the 20s.
9 Car: Gilmore CB SC. Need. This pick could go a lot of ways. Ingram, Upshaw, Floyd or Brockers could look good for them.
10 Buf Kuechly LB BC. Total Buffalo pick. This guy screams awesome LB and will replace a very good one.
Brown.......
Weeden twice this year may just be better than Colt twice last year.
Gave up Julio Jones last year (or someone else) and got Weeden for that pick. The guy is a 28 year old Rookie.... Ouch.
Also I don't understand why they traded up for Richardson... They would have had them if they stayed. Pretty much they gave away picks no?
Not hating but I'm sure it's frustrating as a Browns fan.
Tampa would have traded up for Richardson. That dude is a rock solid stud. I have absolutely no problems there.
Weeden would not have been my pick but ONLY because of age. He's got the goods. If we get 6 really competitive years out of him that's just as many as Kosar and that guy's a legend. Really either the guy can play or he can't. Anyways there's a lot of draft left to go. As long as they come out with a starting RT I'm good. Plenty of talent available at #37.
For the record Cleveland received 5 picks for the Jones deal. Ends up being Weeden, Phil Taylor(starting DT), Owen Marecic (starting FB) Greg Little(starting WR) and still a 4th this year. I don't know if that 4th was the one used in the TR trade. Anyways Both Taylor and Little looked good last season. That was a fantastic trade I would take it again all day long.
DDC to Pitts is bad news for the rest of the AFCN. That guy is the real deal.
