NFL announces Jonathan Vilma has been suspended for the 2012 season. Hargrove gets 8 games. Will Smith 4 games. Fujita 3 games.
Now it's gone too far
Not arguing, but just explain to me why.

lmao, and of course the NFLPA will whine about it, De Smith is just a big a*****e. Also apparently the players didn't cooperate at all. So suspensions should stand.

Goodell: "The evidence clearly showed the players held accountable today willingly and enthusiastically embraced the bounty program."

Talking to legal/CBA experts. They don't see too many legal options for these players outside of the league office appeal. We shall see

Wow! Makes me wonder if the Saints will just be a shell of a team when we play them in November.

Vilma has been banished for all of 2012, effective immediately and through the Super Bowl, for his role in the bounty scandal. Vilma reportedly put $10,000 cash on the table in the team's meeting room and said the cash would go to anyone who could knock Brett Favre out of the NFC Championship Game in January of 2010.
Anthony Hargrove, who's now with the Packers, was given an eight-game suspension after the NFL said that he, too, targeted Favre in the NFC Championship Game. The NFL says that Hargrove eventually admitted his role in the team's bounty program, but that at first "Hargrove also actively obstructed the league's 2010 investigation into the program by being untruthful to investigators."
Will Smith was suspended four games. The NFL says he worked with former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams in setting up the bounty program.
Browns linebacker Scott Fujita is no longer in New Orleans, but he was given a three-game suspension for his role in the bounty program when he played for the team.

More details will leak out. On ESPN radio they saying Will smith was in charge of making sure all the defensive players paid in. Like they kept an excel sheet on who paid and who didn't pay.
