Though I cannot agree with GODdell on anything, this was Sean Paytons idea or so we were told.

If Goodell is in favor of Parcells coaching the Saints, then I’m suspicious. Is this part of his cruel and unusual punishment that Sean Payton didn’t deserve. It’s not like he filmed the other team’s signals for an unfair advantage towards the outcome of a game. All he did was pay no attention to the normal tough talk that players do to get worked up before a game. Have you heard what’s said at a high school pep rally?

Hate is such a strong word. I don’t hate the Saint’s. I hate what they did but I don’t hate the team. Hopefully they learn from their evil ways and will move forward and try to win a Lombardi without leaving a crap smear stain all over it next time. No thanks needed. It’s not a compliment but glad you feel good.

————————————————-

I usually avoid these types of national forums because they are typically loaded with non stop smack. They are also loaded with immature people loaded with jealousy. if you don’t hate the Saints, the congrats to you. You have somewhat of a level head.

There are those opposing fans who want to put Payton somewhere between Hitler and Atilla the Hun however.

I am still happy about the fact fans of other teams hate us. I also realize it’s jealousy and if you asked them would they be defending their team if it happened to them,they’d say yes. In the end, I wouldn’t change a thing. When tracy Porter picked off that Manning pass,the first thing I did was turn to my daughter and say Daddy can now die in peace. That feeling will never change.

There will be no * or stain on the Saints Lombardi. That’s something only a jealous fan would say. The saints won the title with an average defense. I agree Bountygate was wrong,but in no way did it give the Saints an unfair competitive advantage on the field. The only way the title could ever be stripped if it was proven a team had conspired with gamblers to fix the games final outcome. even then, you’d have to have the opponent involved as well.

Several sources are going to be providing evidence that proves Goodell’s personal grudge against Sean Payton. This all may be heading to court, and I doubt that Goodell will be commissioner when the season starts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The owners will set up new guidelines on the next commissioner’s ability to suspend.

Goodell is right. The Big Tuna will do well here. He has a history of making good teams better and making bad teams contenders.

In regards to the bounties, entire games were based around them as late as 1989. “Bounty Bowl I” and “Bounty Bowl II”. Go look them up.

Saints no sense arguing with these inbreds. Cancel NFL network…. support the saints locally. Be persistent…. It’s not about safety, it’s about the money. It’s the only thing that really matters to the NFL. Blackout the league in the region if the Saints aren’t involved. Cut and paste this. lets make this viral through the Who dat nation.

————————————————-
Your coach ignored direct orders from your owner. He took money from a convicted felon to cheat the salary cap and fund an illegal bounty program designed to cause serious and/or potentially career-ending injury to opposing players. And he lied about it to the league for two years. The only reason a convicted felon would want to spend his own money to fund your bounty program is if he were making it back somewhere else–say, by laying bets on the games. And your team’s players, who followed your coach’s instructions, are looking at suspension, possible criminal charges, and possible IRS investigations.

But you think the NFL is out to get you and the rest of us are inbreds?

God help you.

Goodell needs to change the suspension to 16 games., instead of the entire year. Then, we can all watch as Sean Payton tries to take his HC job back from Bill Parcells when the playoffs start. That would be just delicious.

Could careless who the evil Saint’s get to interim coach for them or Payton getting suspended as well. Enjoy that tainted trophy. The fact that it will always have a smear on it in is punishment enough.

Money grubber Goodell can’t wait to have Parcells in the HC spot in NOLA because he’s dreaming of all the $$$ the televised games will make the NFL. Imagine the viewership for the NOLA Dallas game.

Parcells is NOT going to take over as head coach of the Saints. If he did, it would reset the clock on his chances of getting in to Canton. Anyone who thinks that the Tuna doesn’t care about being enshrined is kidding themselves.

*Bounty Gate investigation forces Saints HC to Hire his Mentor to lead a city with an emotional fan base to overcome adversity again.

**1st Team in History of NFL to secure home field advantage throughout playoffs and win a superbowl at home.

Goodell is the reason football is the most watched among the NBA and MLB. How can you hate a guy for disciplining the saints for their wrong doing? If he sat back and done nothing, the NFL would be out of control and not pleasant to watch. Like the NFL, all jobs have rules and rule changes weather you like it or not and if you break those rules, you should be punished.

Parcells is a has been. He hasn’t won a thing since he left the Giants. The last team he had under his control is a league doormat. He will destroy whats left of the Saints with his arrogance. There is a good reason why he did not make the first ballot into the HOF. If he ever gets in, I hope it’s after he dies. He does not deserve that moment in life. The Saints will do better promoting from within.

Why are the writers on this site so hung up on the Rooney rule.

I’m a Saints fan, and I’m not convinced that hiring Parcells is a good idea, but if that is what they want to do, then they should have the right to do it.

This is not a typical situation where a team is in need of a head coach and will be sifting through multiple applicants.

It’s already been acknowledged that interviews with minority candidates would be a sham, so why should anyone insist that they jump through the hoops. It’s a waste of everyone’s time.

The only way to really be heard is cut the Nfl advertisements in the gulf region. Support the saints locally. If Goodell doesn’t reduce the penalties. Look we deserve to be punished for the cover up but not excessive and malicious penalties and make it up as I go suspensions. Start now ……use the web and local media. I canceled the NFL network and won’t watch monday night football unless the saints are playing. Spread the word don’t take no for an answer.

I really don’t buy Parcells is a has been. The current Super Bowl winning coach is Tom Coughlin who was an assistant under Parcells and is just as old school. Parcells has shown the ability to take as a head coach dismal teams into contention. Now he can’t for one year coach a contender to playoff wins. Even Barry Switzer and Norve Turner were able to do that. I think for one year Parcells still has what it takes.
