So they need to lose a second round pick and have their GM suspended for a year. I don't care if the Seahawks do it. The Falcons were caught. Punishment must be doled out.

Not harsh enough. Kick him out of the league. Effective today. It's what must be done.

Well Bob Kraft doesn't own the Falcons so Atlanta is likely to get busted.

In the NFL it's all about who you know and who you blow!

I wonder where Kraft & Goodell spent the night.

A) It's against the rules so if we did it, we deserve to get penalized.

B) It's kinda just weak though. Clearly it didn't make much of a difference the last 2 years at our home games.

C) It's embarrassing if anything. But competitive advantage? We went 6-10 the last 2 years at our home games. Couldn't have helped that much.

How do you prove it if you're the NFL though? I'm gonna pull a Saints fan and just say "we didn't do it" enough times until I actually believe it.

That is unless our HC admitted to it. Oh wait, sorry about that. Getting the Saints debacle confused with ATL's.

Their new head coach, Quinn, won't put up with that.

Sounds like an Outkast song. I like it. I guess they'll have to put an asterisk next to our Super Bowls the last 2 years. Clearly we were dominant because of the loud speakers, right?

Doesn't matter. Someone needs to be made an example of for this, and looks like they picked you. Surely, Atlanta isn't the only team doing this.

Show me a quote where SP said the Saints did anything.

I still don't know what exactly the Saints did with BSGate, but regardless the punishments were absurd. That is what still pisses off Saints fans.

That said if the NFL comes down on Atl for this and ignores teams like Seattle, then it is also BS, however lets see what penalties the NFL hands down. I can promise you it will not be anywhere in the realm of absurdity as what was done to the Saints.

We'll get a lower (5th maybe) draft pick taken from us. That's my guess at least.

But bounties and fake crowd noise are 2 different things. Believe Goodell also cited that ncaa type talk with a "lack of institutional control" style of punishment.

And yes, I listened to WWL play a clip years ago where CSP apologized to the organization, players and fanbase for not following the rules of the game the way they were intended - or something to that extent.

I actually didn't mind the whole "bounty" stuff but then again, I don't really care if players take 'roids or do cocaine before games either.

Saints: Won super bowl with bounty system in place. Haven't done shite since.

Falcons: Haven't won shite. Speakergate didn't do shite cause we sucked the last 2 years.

You'll get there... "idiot".
