NFL still getting hearing schedule set up for Saints, other suspended players' appeals. Thus, no decision expected this week.

So Nakia Hogan is the new guy on the Saints beat? What was he before? (Primarily LSU?) And who, if anyone, is on the way out?

Per , Mike Ornstein's email saying to put him down for bounty money is questioned:

After reading this () I question Roger Goodell more. The NFL has grossly manipulated this story & railroaded Sean Payton

My conclusion is the NFL suspected a bounty program without much proof on Saints. So they hung them with circumstantial evidence.

NFL hid weak "evidence" & flaunted it as gospel. This doesn't change the Saints' guilt, but does expose NFL as very shady in their process.

And Sean Payton has a year suspension when no NFL head coach in history has ever had ONE GAME. Based on what the NFL has, that's criminal.

League, union at odds over Ornstein email | ProFootballTalk
Unless and until the NFL produces raw evidence that demonstrates player involvement in a bounty program or player funding of payments made to other players for knocking opponents out of games, suspicions will remain that the NFL is embellishing the bounty evidence in order to justify hitting the Saints hard enough to deter all teams, players, and coaches from using bounties in the future.
