Within the span of minutes, the NFL suspended Saints coach
Sean Payton for the 2012 season, and the Jets traded for
Tim Tebow. (A couple of hours later, it was reported that the Denver-New York trade could be nullified because of contract issues.) We'll start with
the disciplinary action against the Saints. New Orleans quarterback
Drew Brees took to Twitter to share his reaction, saying, "I am speechless. Sean Payton is a great man, coach, and mentor. The best there is. I need to hear an explanation for this punishment." However, Viking punter
Chris Kluwe had a different spin. Kluwe, as you can see from the screengrab above, is not happy with people blaming the so-called "whistle-blower" for exposing the Saints' bounty system. It will be interesting to see if
Kluwe's tweets stay up or get deleted. Meanwhile, while all this was going on, the NFL Network's
Warren Sapp tweeted that former Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey was "the snitch. This caused Shockey
to go on his own expletive-filled Twitter tirade.
