It remains highly unlikely that New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton will stand on the sideline and coach a game this season. Yet owner Tom Benson might ask the league to reconsider its iron-fist stance on his Super Bowl-winning head coach.
There's no guarantee Benson will ask NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to reduce Payton's season-long suspension if former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue reduces the suspensions of the players connected to the bounty scandal, according to a league source. But Benson will let the process play out and asking Goodell to reconsider his stance on Payton isn't off the table, the source said. Source: The Times-Picayune Attached Thumbnails
