[{Ron!n}]

Wow. NFL announces that Paul Tagliabue "vacates all player discipline"

Paul Tagliabue vacates all suspensions on Saints bounty case, even though he concurs with facts found by league re: Vilma, Smith, Hargrove

Tagliabue affirms factual findings of Commissioner Goodell...concludes Hargrove, Smith, Vilma "engaged in conduct detrimental" and...

vacates all player discipline. "Unlike Saints' broad organizational misconduct, player appeals involve sharply focused issues of alleged...

Makes no sense that they got away with it.

[Pinstripe power]

didnt some players serve time already? whats happens there?

[Dodgerbluemmm24]

What.

[BDawk4Prez]

Absurd.

We know you did it. We proved you did it. Hell, don't worry, it's cool.

[rocket]

So when the NFL actually does something right, they **** it up.

Nice

Wow

Unless they get their money back, I wouldn't say they got away with it. Millions of dollars in game checks gone, almost a whole season, the Saints are finished. What else is there?

[HaruSoul]

Sadly this probably isn't the end of it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they haven't served any suspensions. Hargrove isn't even on a roster, Fujita is on IR, and vilma was injured on PUP list. He's been playing since he came off the PUP list

[strokeman]

its football, if you don't wanna get hit, stay home!
now lets play ball

[BKLYNpigeon]

They didnt have all of the evidence. who cares, im sure it happens all the time in the League. if this was the Browns, no one would care.

[UofAZ420]

Idgaf, just let me stop hearing about this ****

id say losing our Coach and GM and multiple draft picks qualifies as not "getting away with it"

Really? I thought they all lost at least 3-6 games for suspension. I guess I could be wrong, not gonna deny that.

The organization still lost a ton though
