		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m so tired of these sAINTS fans crying about this bounty! Common on are you really a fan are just jumped on the band wagon when they started to win Agee games are when they won a superbowl that was paid for them to win because of hurricane Katrina!! The sAINTS will never get back to a super bowl and I hope all 27 players in on the bounty get what&#039;s coming to them, putting a bounty on a certain player of the opposite team common thats bull! I bet if there was a bount on Mr. Breeze and he got his knees F-up the sAINTS fan would be singing a different tune probably in saprano! Just face if they were wrong now take the punishment and shut the hell up!]]></description>

“You want them to bow their heads, say mea culpa 1,ooo times, then roll over and die?”

No, vtopa, I don’t. Just once will do.
--------------------------------

You hear what you want to hear. Plenty of Saints players have said that the bounties were wrong, and that it should not have happened. Brees, Porter, Greer and others. What gets paid attention to is their anger about losing their coach for a year. Are they supposed to be happy about that? Remember too that the punishments and investigation of players has not come down yet. Anything the players say will be held against them until then. They&#039;d be stupid to admit anything right now.]]></description>

==================================
In 2007, Packers players reportedly offered to pay the team&#039;s defensive linemen $500 each if they were able to hold Minnesota Vikings tailback Adrian Peterson under 100 rushing yards and the Carolina Panthers under 60 rushing yards as a team...Im pretty sure the saints bounties were a bit more serious.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nobody ever wanted you to win.. it is now what it always has been.  Saints fans are the only people who don&#039;t hate the Saints.. the only difference in 2009 was that you had a hurricane 3 years before that and the Media saw your team as a good storyline.  Media can make the appearance of support that isn&#039;t there, espn assumes that everyone loves Tebow (i do by the way) but reality is that its 50-50.]]></description>

I hate the Saints period! They Milked Hurricane Katrina for all they could knowingly they were out to hurt other players during the same time period. You stay classy New Orleans. 2 Faced organization.

Actually, no, Katrina was 2005, and the &quot;bounties&quot; were reportedly in 2009-2011.  But you go head and make things up if you like.]]></description>

Yeah, just like it, other than the hammer.

		<description><![CDATA[How I DESPISE the Saints haters on this board.

What do you EXPECT the guy to say? He&#039;s a football player in the NFL. His team just got gutted. He HAS to play with a chip on his shoulder, as does that team, all season.

You want them to bow their heads, say mea culpa 1,ooo times, then roll over and die? 

Did they RAPEE a woman? Did they BEAT their WIVES? Do DRUGS? No, they broke the rules. They are getting punished. Enough already.

Are you idiots serious? I hope they destroy your teams week in and week out. The hating and the whining are just spectacular here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I cant believe how gullible you people are that are just following behind King Roger and his quest to turn the NFL into a flag football league. 

You do realize this is all about the money right???
Players from just 15 years ago are laughing at how soft the NFL has become and Troy Aikman is absolutely right when he says you wont even recognize the NFL in 10 years. 

This change in the NFL is great news to soccer because all this BS talk about saving players knees and making football safe is all just BS. Football is in an inherently violent sport and you can legislate that out of the game or you will have a watered down product akin to Flag football. 

MLB and the NBA along with Soccer nuts are loving this. 
THE DECLINE OF THE NFL. 

Way to go Roger]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Other than the game against my Raiders this up and coming season, I hope the Saints kick he crap out of everyone in their way. I&#039;m really disappointed in what a bunch pansies my fellow NFL fans have become. Not only pansies, but hypocrites as well. I don&#039;t condone bounties on injuring opposing players, but the league, the media, and a vast majority of dumbed down soft shell fans have overreacted over this issue.

Many of you cry and carry on about how the NFL is becoming flag football, but God forbid a player does his job and hits as hard as he can within the limits of the current rules.  That&#039;s all the Saints players did, but with a little bit of extra unneeded motivation. All be it twisted, motivation.

In reality, it didn&#039;t change a thing. If you play defense, your goal is to hit a player so hard, that they fear possessing the ball in, or around,  you. If that isn&#039;t your goal, there&#039;s a reason your not a defensive player at the NFL level.  

It&#039;s sad that the NFL has become so corporate, and even worse that so many fans have followed suit. This generation of NFL fans are a joke, and I can only imagine many of you are shocked at the way the game used to be played. I guess this is what happens when the soccer mom mentality of &quot;everyone is a winner&quot; finally grows up. Thumb me down all you want, but those who thmb me down only prove that they&#039;re little soft shell pansies. May the Saints kick all of your collective rear ends this season.

You have the one and only Nation&#039;s support New Orleans. THE Raider Nation. Screw the soft shell chumps that want to turn the NFL into two hand touch.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Excellent point hound44! 

If we cheated, where are the penalties? I have checked all the major websites and despite them being able to tell me stats like &quot;that was first ever 200 yard rushing game by a man weighing under 213 pounds since 1987&quot;, they have yet to release a story about the personal foul penalty team ranks from 2009-2012.

If the Saints cheated, they should rank #1 on that list, right? 

The fact is that they were more aggressive and laid more viscious legal shots than other teams. If they were paid a few extra dollars, who cares? Oh I know who cares, losers.

Fact is that the Saints are the winniest franchise of the last 6 years and no one can stop our offense. Our defense consistently has ranked in the bottom of the league. Heck, in 2009, we ranked dead last in scoring defense. 

Get over it, we won! 

Special thanks to AP&#039;s 6 fumbles and Favre&#039;s lat game interception in the NFC championship. 

WHO DAT!!!]]></description>

lets not forget the Pats,Coach BB no games missed..
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Right...because he didn&#039;t...LIE TO THE COMMISSIONER when he was turned in by mangini/tanny. Why is this so hard for people to understand?? If BB had lied, I have 0 doubt in my mind he would have been done for 16 games as well.

Sure the players will have an &quot;us against the world&quot; thing going as  did the Pats in 07. But the 07 Pats HAD BB. SP is a fantastic offensive coach and without him (and with the other guys w/ HC experience either suspended for a bit also [Vitt] or trying to implement a new defense [Spags]I can&#039;t see the Saints breaking 8-8, motivation or not. Don&#039;t forget, there will likely be some players missing on D as well due to suspension.]]></description>

NEWS FLASH, this fricking world is not according to you or the trash you spew. The last time I checked, the OFFENSE wasn&#039;t commiting any BOUNTIES you A**HOLES! The game is played on the field not in your Living Rooms. I wish that I could see your CRACK FACES when the opposing defenses are getting their A**ses handed to them like they usually do when facing the Saints Offense. So keep up the rhetoric, it makes for good laughs. The season cannot get here soon enough, you DING BATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></description>
