The Saints lied 3 times and all 3 times Goodell instructed them to stop if they had a bounty. He's found out they lied all 3 times to him which is why the severe punishment.

The bounty itself is one thing, but the harsh punishment is due to the lies he received. Had Goodell been investigating a bounty while GW was here and the team lied we too would be punished just as hard.

Did you hear about Robert Griffin denying the Colts a workout? Craaaa-zy.
