Not that Goodell owes Saints anything, but jerk move to not announce player suspensions BEFORE draft. Could've changed who Saints targeted.

Saints drafting a bit blind; they don't know who's out and for how long. Being deservedly punished is one thing, but why delay announcement?

So many teams are TRYing to get better tonight draft, just got done GETting better this morning!

NFL Insider on our show: The league is moving towards suspending the Pro Bowl possibly this year. Life support at best.
