Manning will sign with Broncos, Teebus Christus will be traded.
Get your fill of sci-fi, science, and mockery of stupid ideas

I heard from a coworker that one of the Florida teams Tebow's most likely destination. Just hope it ain't the Bucs.Thanas wrote:Manning will sign with Broncos, Teebus Christus will be traded.

Funny, that was my thought, too. Thinking, "Maybe they oughtn't trade Tebow. He'd make a great FB, and make anybody honor the run on every play, giving Manning more time." as soon as the news brokeElfdart wrote:BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!houser2112 wrote:maybe some receivers that wear non-Parkay gloves... *shudder*
If someone could convince Teebus Christ to give up on this QB thing and become a running FB like Larry Czonka or Mike Alstott he'd be a great addition to almost any team. Let him throw option passes every so often and you could bring back the power sweep with this guy.
Welcome aboard the Flock.
I think they should have lost their first-rounder for 2013 but that is okay.The Saints are fined $500,000. In addition, because the violation involves a competitive rule, the Saints will forfeit their selections in the second round of the 2012 and 2013 NFL drafts.
Saints coach Sean Payton is suspended without pay for the 2012 NFL season, effective April 1.
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis is suspended without pay for the first eight regular-season games of the 2012 season.
Former Saints (and current St. Louis Rams) defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is suspended indefinitely from the NFL, effective immediately. Commissioner Goodell will review Williams’ status at the conclusion of the 2012 season and consider whether to reinstate him, and, if so, on what terms. Commissioner Goodell said he will give close attention to the extent to which Williams cooperates with the NFL in any further proceedings.
Saints assistant coach Joe Vitt is suspended without pay for the first six regular-season games of the 2012 season.
The league also said the involvement of players in the bounty program remain under investigation and Goodell will address possible discipline at a later date.[/list]
You want your explanation? How about this:@drewbrees on twitter wrote:I am speechless. Sean Payton is a great man, coach, and mentor. The best there is. I need to hear an explanation for this punishment
Maybe drew should read the statement of findings?The violations were compounded by the failure of Coach Payton to supervise the players and coaches and his affirmative decision starting in 2010 (a) not to inquire into the facts concerning the pay-for-performance/bounty program even though he was aware of the league's inquiries both in 2010 and 2012; (b) to falsely deny that the program existed; (c) to encourage the false denials by instructing assistants to "make sure our ducks are in a row;" and (d) to ignore instructions from the league office and club ownership to ensure that no such program existed.[...]
Payments also were made for plays on which opposing players were injured. In addition, specific players were sometimes targeted. The investigation showed bounties being placed on four quarterbacks of opposing teams - Brett Favre, Cam Newton, Aaron Rodgers, and Kurt Warner. Multiple sources have confirmed that several players pledged funds toward bounties on specific opposing players, with defensive captain Jonathan Vilma offering $10,000 to any player who knocked Brett Favre out of the NFC Championship Game in 2010.

10. When interviewed in 2012, Sean Payton claimed to be entirely unaware of the program, a claim contradicted by others. Further, prior to the Saints' opening game in 2011, Coach Payton received an email from a close associate that stated in part, "PS Greg Williams put me down for $5000 on Rogers (sic)." When shown the email during the course of the investigation, Coach Payton stated that it referred to a "bounty" on Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
11. In early 2010, Mr. Loomis advised Coach Payton that the league office was investigating allegations concerning a bounty program. Coach Payton said that he met with his top two defensive assistants, Coach Williams and Coach Vitt, in advance of the interview with league investigators and told them, "Let's make sure our ducks are in a row." Remarkably, Coach Payton claimed that he never inquired of Coach Williams and Coach Vitt as to what happened in the interviews, never asked them if a "pay-for-performance" or bounty program was in fact in place, and never gave any instructions to discontinue such a program.
12. In January 2012, prior to the Saints' first playoff game of the 2011 season, Coach Payton was advised by Mr. Loomis that the league office had reopened the investigation. Coach Payton made a cursory inquiry but took no action to ensure that any bounty program was discontinued.
