Here wasthe criteria-
Other players participated in the bounty program to varying degrees but aren’t facing suspension. Goodell said his player discipline focused on players who:
X: Held leadership positions for the Saints.
X: Contributed a particularly large sum of money toward the program.
X: Specifically contributed to a bounty on an opposing player.
X: Demonstrated a clear intent to participate in a program that potentially injured opposing players and sought rewards for doing so.
X: Obstructed the 2010 investigation.

....or, as he stated, didn't meet the criteria. These sanctions were earned. They worked hard to get these.

The only pity I feel is for the Saints fans.
This action could have been taken against nearly every team in the league but the Saints screwed up by going after a 40 year old prima donna heart throb and media baby.
You'd have to go a long ways to convince me that Favre isn't at the bottom of this.
Either way....guilty as charged.
But you will see that this episode will not only ruin the Saints 2012 campaign but will render them insignificant for years to come.
Back to the cellar for the "who dats" for the next decade.

I believe that wholeheartedly
rotoworld,
The NFL Players Association has filed a grievance against the NFL challenging the commissioner's authority to suspend four players in the bounty scandal.
We knew this was coming. The NFLPA alleges the suspensions "violated the [league's] duty of fairness to the players" due to limits on commissioner Goodell's authority and insufficient evidence. Sources told ESPN earlier in the week to expect "a massive multiple legal battle over this on several fronts."
