State Of Affairs said

What’s interesting is if the NFL/Officials really want to send Payton a message, the Saints start getting the 50/50s and penalties decrease significantly…

I can't see that happening. If they were to do that it would just throw fuel on CSP's fire and open the NFL up to public and media scrutiny. For the same reason they don't want gambling to touch players for any reason is the same reason they wouldn't do this. Once you lose the integrity of your game it won't come back anytime soon. That is also the reason I laugh when someone suggests the NFL is rigged.

A more logical explanation would be that CSP was not the best at coaching up his players to avoid penalties and he is just paving a new road to future excuses. JMHO.
