We all know the league is gonna screw the Saints every chance they get... we always get hit for doing something that every other team in the league does (see "bountygate").
But if we're being honest with ourselves.. Sean Payton is the one to blame for this because nobody would have known about this if he hadn't bragged about how it all went down. So now the league has to put on their fake sheriff's hat and come in and punish them.
Sometimes its better to keep it to yourself.
