Slap on the wrist... What a joke.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys. As a Viking fan we sure hate to say we told you so.

Fine these guys a year's salary and donate the money to a charity... and the players that hurt other players.. fine them too

are the Vikes gunna get the saints 2nd round pick for SMASHING Brett Favre's ankle? question.. does this admittance of the bounty program open the door to an assault charge against saints players? Intent to injure is assault... a Felony...

I will never forget the day they ended Favre's career. Admitting guilt for that should have ended their careers too.

2nd round picks??? SHould be FIRST round picks they lose!

hanguyen55Mar. 21, 1212:18 PM

Should take their superbowl champs trophy away too...

What's dissapointing is the loss of a mere two 2nd round picks. Gotta give the fans hope, right? Whatever.

ordyjoe11Mar. 21, 1212:18 PM

Yea, just a slap on the wrist!? Asterisk in the record books by their SuperBowl!

ordyjoe11Mar. 21, 1212:19 PM

The players involved should be the ones to pay the price!
