Gabe Feldman @SportsLawGuy CBA Appeals Panel issued its full opinion in the Bounty case this morning, clarifying & expanding on the reasoning from initial opinion
Gabe Feldman @SportsLawGuy Appeals panel: NFLPA's argument that plyers were punished for on-field misconduct (thus not w/in commish authority) is "not well-founded."
Gabe Feldman @SportsLawGuy Add'l note from NFL ruling: "Were commish to act unreasonably in applying [his powers],his decision would presumably be subject to review"
The Angry Who Dat @angrywhodat Brees can visit Payton if, and only if, he sets the record. What a great incentive to perform on the field and make plays.

The 2012 edition of the New Orleans Saints appears that it could be the worst in the ‘Sean Payton’ era. That’s not saying much, as he has set a high standard and anything under .500 would have been in contention for being the worst.
Saints still have confidence in run game in spite of problems so far | wwltv.com New Orleans
Brian de la Puente watches video of the New Orleans Saints’ first four games and can only shake his head. He sees Mark Ingram plow into the line and gain only two yards. He looks as Pierre Thomas can only wiggle for a few yards.

In addition to Moore, running back Travaris Cadet (right shoulder), defensive end Turk McBride (left ankle) and linebacker David Hawthorne (right hamstring) were deemed out after not practicing at all this week.

Titans DC uses some disturbing words to motivate his players | ProFootballTalk
Jerry Gray used to work for Gregg Williams. And apparently he learned a thing or two about a turn of phrase from his old boss. The Titans defensive coordinator used some frankly disturbing language in reference to his team’s inability to stop passes across the middle of the field.
