The NFL came down pretty hard on the New Orleans Saints for the illegal bounty system they had running under ex-defensive coordinator Greg Williams.
The head coach, Shaun Peyton, has been suspended without pay for the entire 2012 season; the GM was suspended without pay for the first eight games of the 2012 season and the team has been fined $500,000 and stripped of second round draft choices in 2012 and 2013.
Mr. Bounty himself, Greg Williams, has been suspended indefinitely with a review to occur after the 2012 season. That puts the Rams, who just hired Williams, in the market for a defensive coordinator I suppose.
The $500,000 is almost a joke but the suspensions and loss of draft choices have some teeth. I would have taken away both first and second round choices myself or a first round in 2012 and a second round in 2013.
But at least it was more than a slap on the wrist.
