Former Saints who were punished for bountygate react to deflate gate punishment on twitter.

Things went south quickly today for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell as he attempted to answer fan questions during an 'AMA' (Ask Me Anything) session on social news website Reddit.

As a Saints fan, today was a day of ups, and downs. On the upside, the NFL reinstated Saints head coach Sean Payton. On the downside, I read one of the most baseless, illogical - and just plain disrespectful columns from Jeff Duncan, a New Orleans sports beat writer who believes that

Drew Brees isn't a guy that you see talking trash for the of simply creating drama. So when speaking on yesterday's news surrounding the overturning of player suspensions, Brees raised a few eyebrows when he blasted the NFL and it's commissioner Roger Goodell for the mishandling of the Saints' 'Bountygate' investigation.

Better late than never? Not so much, but regardless, NFL spokesperson Greg Aiello just revealed via Twitter, the league's statement regarding the Saints bounty appeal hearing.

The hits keep coming for the New Orleans Saints (no pun intended) as player suspensions were finally handed down from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell surrounding the seemingly never ending New Orleans Saints 'Bountygate' scandal.
