Saints in BIG trouble...

Saints blow

i truly cannot fathom how a group of people can be so utterly devoid of cognitive powers

The game is too fast and unpredictable to TRY to intentionally injure someone.

How is it okay and league sanctioned for a RB or QB to reward the offensive line and such with Rolex watches or paid vacations to the pro bowl for their on field performance but when the defense ponies up their own money to do the same on their side of the ball it is called a bounty and illegal benefits?

i will give brees some of my money if he stays. If that's what it will take Drew, I will give some of my paycheck!

If one group is able to get to the bottom of this mess, it's the NFLPA. I have a feeling this could drag out longer than originally planned. I wonder if the NFL softens the punishment and tries to sweep this under the rug.

:lol:

lo-fuging-l

we have a handful of halfwits on here that would say the same thing if it happened to us but i can only think of two or three of them. over there whatever half isn't actually saying these things is rabidly agreeing with it.

this should be on every page..

[Mr. Scot]

Might not be signing Randy Moss either.

No news on that front yet, and now he's said to be working out for the 49ers.

forever tainted

[Mr. Scot]

One very clear lesson I've learned from the coverage of this story.

Marcellus Willey is a flaming idiot.

What's the big deal!?

The league already said the max punishment is draft picks, fines, and suspensions.

First is fines, Benson wipes his @ss with $100's , so a $500k + fine affects Saints 0%

Second is draft picks. Saints didn't get much out of last years picks but are going to be ready to go this year. Minimal effect as we don't even have a 1st round pick and have some great talent we got last year that spent the year on IR. everything else is already being planned to be addressed in FA. Lost of draft picks effect when you have Brees, Graham, PT, and Sproles....not much!

Finally is suspensions. Considering the main guy and almost half of the accused are on other teams, losing some guys on defense for a few games is not that bad when you have the best offense in the history of the NFL. In case we lose Payton for a few game, Pete Carmichael is a proven backup, and a better play caller according to some. So, minimal effect. Look at the games Vilma missed last year as well as the suspension of Will Smith, yet we finished only losing 3 games and blowing out most opponents. Not much of an insurmountable issue here either.

On top of nothing coming that the Saints can't handle and still own the NFC South, all the players are getting united and motivated by this scandal. Check out the Saints players twitter feeds and see how many have come into facility early motivated by scandal. We fans also embrace our team and will cheer even louder. Beware the team that steps into the dome, an Embarassment like the one dealt to Panthers and Falcons the last two weeks of season coming! Get the Gatorade towel ready to put over your sulking head, Mr Newton! Lol
