The NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell have suspended Saints coach Sean Payton for one year without pay. Former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams suspended indefinitely, Saints GM Mickey Loomis suspended for first eight games, and Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt is suspended for six games. The Saints were also fined $500,000S, plus the forfeit of two future second round picks.
The punishment handed down on the Saints is unprecedented. Commissioner Goodell has set an example that a bounty system has no place in the NFL.
About Tyler Dragon
I'm Tyler Dragon of Fresno, California. A graduate from Howard University in Washington, DC. Currently I’m an employee at ESPN (my views for this site do not reflect the company). I am also a track & field athlete specializing in discus and shot put. You can also find me at a gym or a basketball court near you.
As a former honor student and top collegiate athlete I have been afforded with many invaluable experiences during my college career. These experiences include a visit to the White House, interning at ABC, being invited to “Pardon the Interruption”, attending Black Congressional Caucus events, serving as a contributing writer for newspapers in Washington, DC, competing at collegiate championship track meets, and many more. I believe that the value of any experience is what the individual gains and learns from the experience. Though my experiences while attending college have been diverse in nature; I have learned through all of them that with hard work, dedication, networking, resourcefulness, and perseverance one can achieve great things. Being a very motivated, humble, dedicated and confident individual; I always strive for excellence in working toward the achievement of my personal goals. These are attributes that I take with me into any setting.
For this website I will give everybody the perspective of an athlete on hot sport topics across the country and world. You can also catch me on twitter @the1dragon
