Default NFL suspends Payton, Loomis & Williams; strips Saints of two draft picks

Jason La Canfora ‏ @JasonLaCanfora
Gregg Williams is suspended indefinitely. Commish will review Williams situation at end of 2012 season and consider reinstatement

Jeff Darlington ‏ @JeffDarlington
NFL DROPS HAMMER: Sean Payton suspended for 2012 season, NFL announces. Mickey Loomis suspended 1st 8 games and must pay $500K fine

Jay Glazer @JayGlazer
Saints had planned to have Joe Vitt take over for Sean Payton as interim head coach but Vitt banned now as well

Chris Mortensen ‏ @mortreport
#Saints also losing second round draft picks in 2012 and 2013.

Further punishment or will that suffice?

Saints lost two second-round picks, one in 12 one in 13.

No ones?

But wow, Peyton suspended a year..

Prepare for the onslaught of comparisons to spygate, and somehow spygate will trump all of this for some idiotic reason..

Gives fodder to the mediots on ESPN, NFLN and all of the sports yakkers...

Wow! It's too bad we have the Saints first this year and not next year(assuming the NFL wouldn't have taken that away since it would've been ours). Gonna be a rough season for them IMO
