Should the Saints be successful this year it will be a tribute to Coach Payton as suppose to this stupid notion he’s disposable there fore he will be fired?

If you actually think this shallow thought deeper you should come to the realization that it was these three people who turned this organization around:

1. Micky Loomis
2. Sean Payton
3. Drew Brees

Its obvious Mr. Benson is the key he stroked the checks.

These are the guys who built this to where it is today, and as long as Brees is happy this group will come together and do great things….it will be because of Payton not because he aint there he left an imprint on this organization and i for one know this aint nothing but a reason to play harder faster and even more violent … bounty free of coarse

You don’t just go off firing the guys who brought you a super bowl …… the first in ……..EVER!!!

The average player makes about $1 million/yr and you think that they are playing hard for $1k?

LMFAO – you are clueless dude!

it seems that as recently as 2010 evidence was found of a bounty program going on within the Saints. After the NFL initially checked it out, they found nothing ‘conclusive” but at the same time warned Saints management (as in Loomis) that this had to stop. Well, it didn’t. We’ll probably never know who dropped the dime on who (Warren Sapp states it’s Jeremy Shockey – but once again without any hard evidence, although knowing Shockey as the unstable type that he can be – it’s not surprising)

This is a serious stain on a program on the rebound. It’s sad and messed up that Payton and Loomis both got suspended, and Williams is on an extended hiatus, but it is what it is. OK, I’ll even accept the notion that Goodell overstepped his powers by suspending these 3, and he’s not done yet – players involved are next.

I hope the Saints do well this year, but it’s highly unlikely.

Im conviced that some of these articles are for shock value only

Can you please remove yourself from the tip of the Saints Fleur De Lis.

Thanks

============================

“Follow the money”. The moment their were financial incentives mentioned, all one need do is review the tape, then get anonymous testimony to support or deny – everyone rolled on everyone once it got out there.

Unlike the Pats, where they had a strategic advantage, and had the acumen to apply formation and counter-strategies, the Saint issue was too obvious. Spygates only eye brow raising issue was Goddell destroying the tapes

Lol..great logic, I’m sure Mickey’s reading this right now and writing down every sentence..

If a UFO lands I will be able to return home.

benson isnt firing them because they are taking the fall for him.
===============================

I suspect there is some truth to this. Goodell’s assertion that Benson knew nothing is almost as ludicrous as suggesting that Loomis knew nothing. Benson has been exonerated 100% because the owners are Goodell’s bosses and the owners take care of their own.

Second, I’m amazed at the morons who think that a multimillionaire was somehow extra motivated by ONE THOUSAND dollars! Really? Think about it.

Also, can anyone show me that the Saints had more unsportsman like penalties than other teams over the past 3 years, thus proving that guys were actually going out of their way to really hurt someone?

Yeah, that is what I thought.

What’s next, Benson might sell the Saints or relocate them to Los Angeles? Maybe you should start another slanted poll…
