breaking news !!!!!!!! Greg Williams won't coach this season for the Rams.

Per Jason LaCanfora

Gregg Williams is suspended indefinitely. Commish will review Williams situation at end of 2012 season and consider reinstatement

So he is suspended for ATLEAST this year, maybe more. But atleast this got caught before it hit us.

Sean Payton was hit for the season. The Saints are DONE!

You have to wonder why cheating in the biggest game of the season doesn't warrant the same punishment.

Belicheat is a special case obviously. (Moral relativists feel free to point out how its okay to cheat in the SB but its not okay to do so in the regular season)

An indefinite punishment is garbage, either ban him for life or ban him for the year. What is Williams going to do in his year off that mitigates a life ban?

To harsh if you ask me. Goodell needs to take his head out of the sand.

[xkidflowx]

sigh..... man more stress on fisher.. next year is gonna be amazing though.. Top 3 in Cap Space.. another year under bradford's belt im sure we'll get a wide out hopefully we get him back next year though

[AvengerRam]

Can't say that I'm all that surprised.

While I'm disappointed, I think Dave McGinnis can handle the job just fine, if that's the direction the Rams decide to go in.

[GROUND DOG 39]

What a w5nker you are Mr Goodell. If anyone needs to leave indefinitely it's you, not Gregg Williams. Not a happy camper.

While cheating in the Superbowl is more egregious on some levels I think with all the emphasis the NFL is putting on player safety they were going to take this a lot more serious. This doesn't surprise me at all. They're making an example out of these guys.

[Tampa_Ram]

This is bs. Indefinatly? come on now. Talk about making him an example. jeeze.

[Holt Your Horses]

Just tried to check out what the saints fans thought.. every forum i went to was down! they must be going mad

That's what I was thinking as well.

[Holt Your Horses]

Another thought i just had.. does this mean spags will be a head coach again???

[Fettmaster]

Because to Goodell, the integrity of the game itself isn't as important as the integrity of "player safety".

Geez, I hate that man.

What a horrible sports day so far. I hear Tebow is traded to New York, virtually guaranteeing me that I'll have to hear about him even more.

Now this. I'm very curious on what the plan is now regarding the defense.

Exactly. Goodell's hypocrisy knows no bounds. If there was ever any doubt about the special treatment the Patriot franchise receives, need look no further than here and now.



As for the Rams, it's a set back, but Dave McGinnis will fill in almost seamlessly. I just hope that Fisher/Kroenke do not feed into the Goodell hypocrisy by firing Williams.

Jim Thomas reporting that Dave McGinnis is the likely successor at defensive coordinator, but don't rule out DB coach Chuck Cecil.
