Cardinals suspend GM Steve Keim 5 games

He's going to miss the Sam Bradford show. Sad.

Rumors are he was also partly suspended for resembling a thumb.

 

Nope, definitely a beaver in disguise.

 

Right there he is looking at a birch tree, starting to sweat in anticipation of his next wooded victim.

GMs get paid per game? They have roster and game bonuses as well? LOL, he got his fine which was $200,000. Him not being at the games is not a big deal at all. If anything, suspend him for the preseason games, that's where he will really make his money at. 

Keep in mind, even if it were during the regular season, it isn't actually 5 games, it's 5 weeks. Just like with players, that means he doesn't just miss the games themselves, but also any other team related activities for those 5 weeks. He can't show up for practices, team meetings, he can't communicate with anyone really on that team (scouts, coaches, etc.), and he can't do any of his normal duties himself (you'd still have injury related decisions, signings and cuts, you might have extensions you're still in the process of negotiating, etc., and all that needs to be pushed to others, basically.) The games aren't the real punishment there, it's all the work he'd normally be doing in between.

That makes more sense. But I'd still say it would be better to suspend him during preseason then. That's where it would hurt the most.
