Had this been revealed before and I missed it?

The NFL's investigation into the Saints found Payton initially lied about the existence of a bounty program and instructed his defensive assistants to do the same.

I wish they would just hurry up with player penalties so this story will start to fade away.

Unfortunately I have a feeling this will go on another 2 years. Obviously all season this year and then when Peyton returns next year it will be revived again.

Dude is going to be hella lonely.

quote:

Under the terms of his season-long suspension for his role in New Orleans' bounty program, coach Sean Payton is not allowed to have any contact with the Saints organization or anyone around the NFL, and if he does, must report it to league executive Ray Anderson, a source familiar with the suspension tells ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Thus, when Payton's suspension began Monday, he essentially was cut off from every Saints employee and any coaching friend he has around the league until the day after the 2013 Super Bowl, when the suspension is scheduled to end.

Payton and Saints general manager Mickey Loomis have beach houses about one mile apart from each other in Florida. They cannot, by the NFL's law, say hello to each other on the beach without Anderson being informed of it.

Not a huge fan of the "Herd" but got this podcast. Pay attention to how far Goodell went in Paytons suspension. No college interaction either.
