Something I was thinking about, over the course of the last couple of days, and a Twitter response to the ESPN NFC North blog about the penalties to the Saints put it best.
This is a Viking fan, in response to the targeting (and subsequent career-ending injury) of Brett Favre due to the bounties:
And in the end, @PaulFerence had the most thought-provoking response: "I'd take a year suspension for the coach, an 8 game suspension for the GM, and the loss of two 2nd rd picks for a title here."
It's almost like the attitude I saw with Auburn and the perceived situation with $Cam Newton: "If I can't have the championship, NO ONE can have the championship.
Going backward, I believe there is enough evidence of misconduct that the New Orleans Saints should be stripped of their Super Bowl and NFC Championships from that season.
The more ominous question needs to be asked, though: Would you trade the disgrace and irrelevance of BountyGate for one championship?
I think most fans (and many players) WOULD!
