Jeff Duncan is legit the worst reporter in the history of the world. He’s wrong on everything he guesses on.

The other missing story in this is that Dolphins owner only got 8 game suspension for tampering with a player and coach under contract.

Loomis got 8 game suspension just for being part of the Saints organization during scam bounty gate. Payton got a full year for failing to have control of his team.

Does not appear to be equal punishment for direct role Dolphins owner had in the tampering violation.

The days of when The Times Picayune/States Item had real writers and reporters like Peter Finney and Bob Roesler will never be duplicated. Nobody covered the Saints like they did.

By rule, owners can only be suspended that that length (thought it was 6 but maybe it's 8 games.) It was the max.

Sure, but there much, much worse as well. Mike Brown, Mark Davis, Dan Snyder, Steve Ross. Those just off the top of my head. Gayle ain’t bad at all.

What, exactly, was ownership supposed to do about the no call? Threaten to pull out of the NFL? ?

Isnt the primary responsibility of an owner to fund the organization and stay the hell out the way by putting football people in place. Last time i checked, she has done that.

The "better" owners of the league have gone at it with Goodell and still lost. I really dont know what you expect

Payton’s son is working for the saints And that was arranged before this story broke.

This story broke months ago. The NFL just handed discipline down this week.

And btw everyone was attacked for thinking it was real if I recall correctly

Maybe the guy was ready for a change?

How many of you have worked for the same company for 15 years?

Didnt he used to post on Saints Report? I recall him posting there from time to time and getting absolutely destroyed by the board every time.
