Of course, this all broke at almost exactly the same time that the Saints bounty punishments were doled out. Sean Payton? Suspended for a year. Gregg Williams? Suspended indefinitely. The Saints will also lose second-round draft picks in 2012 and 2013.

Your reaction to the Saints penalties or the delicious potential of Tebow + Ryan in the comments, please.
