Ever had one of those times where you’re planning on writing one thing, and then BAM, something else happens, and you have scrap the whole thing?

Well I had one of those “command+a+delete” moments when I heard about the suspensions of New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton, general manager Micky Loomis, and former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams earlier today.

This, to me, is a story that transcends sports because it deals with an individual’s sense of humanity. It deals with what is and what is not acceptable for one human being to do to another.

And when it comes down to it, the NFL made the right call in handing down these punishments.
