[QUOTE="texan, post: 953683, member: 38206"] [B]NFL suspends New Orleans Saints coaches, GM for 'bounties' on opponents [B](CNN)[/B] -- In sweeping discipline that one analyst called "historic," New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton was suspended without pay for the entire 2012 season and former Saints defensive coach Gregg Williams was suspended indefinitely in a series of NFL punishments Wednesday for the team's bounty program against opponents. Under the bounties, the team paid bonuses for knocking opposing players out of a game, the NFL said. Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis was suspended without pay for the first eight regular-season games of the 2012 season, the NFL said. Assistant Head Coach Joe Vitt was suspended without pay for the first six regular-season games, the league said. The team was also fined $500,000, and the team will forfeit its second-round draft picks in 2012 and 2013, the National Football League said. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will review the status of Williams, now with the St. Louis Rams, at the end of the season and whether to reinstate him, the league said.
