Ginsberg with Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwan

I want him fired for incompetence.

I have high hopes for this season, in spite of everything. We are living in the gilded age of this franchise, and for Goodell to come along and sanction this team to the degree where it compromises its ability to compete - that's atrocious. I will never get over this. ever.

He's thrown our team against the whipping post, while all the other teams are breathing a collective sigh of relief that they weren't the name picked out of a proverbial hat.

The only thing that would satisfy me is for Goodell to be fired or resign in disgrace, full reinstatement of Payton, Vitt, and Loomis, an additional 1st round pick next year, and a public apology from the goon that replaces Jolly Roger.

To other fans, these terms might sound ridiculous, but if the NFL really wanted a sacrificial lamb, they should have used GW and left it at that. He has a history of questionable rhetoric that spans multiple teams. But no. They had to scorch and salt the freakin' black and gold earth.

This entire process has passed from being misguided to being completely malicious - toward this team, its fans, and, indeed, the entire city of New Orleans.

Great post! I agree. Even with the slimming chance that this might be true, the punishment do not fit the crime. I am more mad at the fact that Goodell thought the organization and the fans were just going to take this with laying down with no evidence. Talk about an ego.
