Wow, you're a real piece of work. You feel bad for a guy that turned a blind eye to the abhorrent bounty system going on in his locker room, but you vilify the guy that held him accountable.
It's not that he was suspended or fined. He's guilty in this and deserves punishment. But an entire year when he wasn't the mastermind and what equates to a $7.5 million fine is excessive. That's the issue most fans have with it. Not that we got caught. We know we did this and 99% of us understand we should have prohibitive measures taken against us. It's the severity that's unjust. I think an 8 game suspension and a $2 million fine on Payton, with all the other imposed fines, suspensions, and loss of draft picks in staying place as originally handed down, would've been stern but understandable and aside from some panic, most wouldn't have much issue with it.
