The league's decision to suspend several players as part of the Saints bounty scandal has drawn a wave of response on Twitter from current Saints players.
TE Jimmy Graham wrote, "This is beyond ridiculous! I want to see the evidence and hear an explanation. Its sad when u have to hear about it on tv. Ridiculous!"
QB Chase Daniel wrote, "I was standing right next 2 @jonvilma51when he found out abt his suspension ON @SportsCenter. Really? He has to find out about it that way?”
WR Lance Moore: "I wish I could say what I want to say right now, but I know that all eyes are on us right now. I'll just say it sucks, but we'll be fine!"
Other active and former NFLers also let their thoughts be known on the issue:
Steelers LB James Harrison wrote, "Ridiculous, and nobody really sees why the punishments have been so severe over the past 3 4years! Lawsuits and 18 games???"
Steelers S Ryan Clark: "Wonder why the Team got the least penalties in Bounty Gate? Think about who elects & rewarded the commish... it's the owners of the teams!"
Former NFLer and current ESPN analyst Damien Woody wrote, "Vilma suspended 4 the year but Joe Vitt & Mickey Loomis can come back this season?!?! I thought authority figures were held to a higher standard!!"
