Obviously Saints related since the prankster claimed to be Loomis while calling Shedeur Sanders during 1 of the prank calls

The NFL fined the Falcons $350,000 and the franchise will forfeit their fifth-round selection in the 2016 NFL Draft, the league announced Monday. President Rich McKay will also be suspended for at least three months from the Competition Committee beginning April 1.

Same team. Same script.

If the kid has any integrity and any semblance of a spine, he would personally apologize to the Falcons head coach, the Falcons front office, their ownership, Mickey Loomis, the Saints ownership, and finally, Shadeur himself.

Treefiddy K seems like the NFL only did that to look like they cared.

I mean what else should they do? It was a prank phone call. Is this money going to charity or something? That’s a lot of money for 15 seconds of prank that ultimately hurt nobody.

Wasn’t the first draft prank call, wasn’t the only prank call this draft, it won’t be the last prank call. But it might be the only prank call that costs $350,000 and makes nation headlines

The NFL uses the fine money to help with retired player health & wellness programs as well as other charitable endeavors determined jointly by the NFL & NFLPA

It would have been a good prank if they actually let Shaduer talk to Loomis and then the coach so he would have actually hung up and cheered and gathered around the TV.

But they didn’t. And the prank fell flat.

Too low, they should lose a 1st rounder because they are the Falcons, and that 1st rounder should be given to the Saints since they used Mickey's name.

I believe i saw Tyler Warren and one other player also got pranked (although not as serious, still shows lack of security issues). I wonder if they got fined?

NFL you should've fined him and the organization more, Shedeur wasn't the only one that received a prank call.

It's because he obtained private data that he was not authorized to view and they did not want to deal with trust issues about protection of private data irregardless of what it's used for.
