		<description><![CDATA[Some of you are to simple to realize this isn&#039;t about whether the Saints did it or not.  It is about the dangerous precedent Goodell is setting here.  This time, it is Goodell nailing the Saints on something they did.  Next season it is him nailing someone on your team for something they didn&#039;t do, but he thinks they did.  That person will have no real chance to protect themselves, and the precedent will be there from in the past.

Google slippery slope, and you will know why more than Saints fans should be worried about this failed attempt at a process.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me get this straight. So if Goodell punished the Saints for No reason and with No evidence, why not just punish all 32 teams? for no reason with no evidence. The Saints&#039; players are in complete denial, yet Payton, Loomis, Williams &amp; Vitt aren&#039;t denying anything. So I guess the Coaches are guilty and accepting, but the players had absolutely no involvement, zero, zip, zilch, nada. 

Veryyyyy Interestingggggggg.

This strategy might just work. Not.

Sorry but after the appeals are denied, Goodell should double all the suspension times for lying again, but this time to the fans.]]></description>

I love me some Saint haters… It means my team is that good. Nobody was ever caught hatin’ on a team that sucks.
==================================
We are not Saints haters.....We are just laughing at your team, coaches, and GM for being flat out stupid when they were told to stop doing what they were doing. I&#039;m sure there were other teams doing it, but they stopped or at least we have not heard about any other team that didn&#039;t stop. Your team didn&#039;t stop. Get it now?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Goodell has made some good decisions, but he&#039;s also made a lot of bad calls. And my biggest complaint is that he&#039;s a corporate guy who follows a corporate mindset. 

He&#039;ll investigate and suspend guys like Roethlisberger and Favre when no arrests have been made and no complaints filed because they&#039;re high profile. But he&#039;ll let the Brandon Underwoods and Vince Youngs walk away from worse because the national media isn&#039;t watching. He&#039;ll scapegoat players making &lt;em&gt;legal&lt;/em&gt; hits to convince Congress he cares about head injuries while the league ignores new helmets that could reduce injuries because they&#039;re not manufactured by a partner equipment company. He&#039;ll pretend expanding to an 18-game season won&#039;t have an impact on players&#039; health and safety. And he&#039;ll support owners nickel-and-diming about the number of men allowed on the season roster, although he knows letting teams keep a couple of extra players for substitutions would improve safety.

Commissioner is a tough job. But no one should be fooled. Goodell&#039;s first consideration will always be the league&#039;s image and its bottom line--not the health and welfare of the players and certainly not the best interest of the fans.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For all the whining that&#039;s goin on by saints fans, what did the saints really lose?? A head coach who wasn&#039;t calling plays anyway. A declining middle linebacker and a journeyman defensive lineman ( for a few games ) and a second round pick for two years. They should consider themselves lucky they don&#039;t play in the nfc east because Mara wouldve really stuck it to em. Ask Snyder and Jones.]]></description>

And Andy Reid is WHO???? Whats he doing sucking butt because he knows he’s not much of a coach and may need a job within the NFL one day?
Now I can sleep so much better knowing he made that statement
-----------------------------------

Who is Andy Reid?  Well, as an Eagles fan I&#039;m as critical of Andy as anyone.  But Andy Reid is entering his 14th season as Eagles head coach.  His team has made the playoffs 10 of those times.  His team has appeared in 5 NFC title games and one Super Bowl.  He is the winningest coach in Philadelphia Eagles history.   

Now, the real question is...who is Jerry Jones?  Who are you? Your Cowgirls have one playoff win in...15 years.  Your last playoff game was in 2009...one that you lost 34-3.  Your team has done absolutely nothing since 1996.   So yeah...ask me again who Andy Reid is.  He&#039;s pretty much your Daddy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Damning evidence. Here’s what has been released so far:

1. A Gregg Williams statement which has been discovered to have been reworded by the NFL to say something that it doesn’t

2. An Anthony Hargrove “confession” which has been discovered to have been reworded by the NFL to say something that it doesn’t

3. A “promise” from a man in prison to pay a bounty, which is impossible.

Why don’t you Eagles fans just come out and say it. You hate the Saints and you want them punished and you don’t care that there is no evidence.

You’re the ones with the problem.





Um, I for one don&#039;t &quot;hate&quot; the Saints.

But if you expect me to believe that all of these accusations were just &quot;made up&quot; over a 4 yr period, then you must be drinking the swamp water down there in the Bayou.

It&#039;s going to come out.  You can book that. 

 And for all you self-righteous Saints fans that think you have a dog in the fight here?  News flash: Ya don&#039;t.  And you&#039;re going to wish that the evidence didn&#039;t come out because it&#039;s going to make you even more foolish than you sound already ( If that is even possible).

I particularly find it quite curious (and damning) that, like mentioned before by today&#039;s posters, you haven&#039;t heard BOO from any of the major players DENYING anything occured.  They are  using a tried defense strategy:  Paint themselves as the victim.  

Another thing you people better realize is this:  This isn&#039;t due process.  The commissioner viable by ANY statute, other than the one that was signed BY THE PLAYERS COMMITTEE IN THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT, stating he is final authority in these matters. 

  If they don&#039;t like that now, they should have thought about that when they signed the damn thing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those Andy haters: When his sons were sentenced he made a point of saying that the judge has a tough job, and he felt he was more than fair to his kids. Now for the delusional Saints fans: Unlike the Pats cheating thing, the Saints were not put in a competitive advantage by the &#039;bounty&#039; thing, and if they were because people on the other team felt intimidated, well, then shame on the Saints opponents. The Saints beat the Eagles several times in the last few years , and Eagles fans were the first to say the Saints were a much better team and deserved to win the game. However, Goodell has been the Commish for several years now,  and the safety thing has been his big issue from day 1. And no, it doesn&#039;t matter whether he does it to protect the shield from legal action or protect the players health or both, it only matters that he does it. For a coach to be so arrogant as to conduct a bounty system for years, and to continue it after the owner has told you to knock it off, and after the Commish has told you he&#039;s investigating you for an additional year and a half is beyond arrogant. Lying to him during the investigation and telling him it never happened was stupid AND arrogant. Goodell is a person like anyone else. If you had rules, and someone in your league basically said&quot;I&#039;LL DO WHATEVER I WANT, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?&quot;, what would you do? Look to really  screw him? Sure you would. If he was fining and suspending guys like James Harrison just for playing a little beyond the rules, anyone with common sense knew that an organized attempt to injure opponents would draw one of the biggest punishments ever, and it did. Stop being angry at the league. You have one of the most talented teams in football. One of the best QBs ever. Your coach didn&#039;t need to do that. Payton cost you a chance to compete in 2012.  Loomis cost you a chance to compete. Williams cost you a chance to compete. I&#039;d be damn angry too now if I were a Saints fan, but I&#039;d be angry at the right people.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reid is so enthusiastic about Goodell&#039;s decisions that he buys cake and ice cream to celebrate every one. Anyway, if there is anyone who should realize the hypocrisy of the press that was praising and speculating and advocating over every rib shot Vick has taken the last two years, and is now holier than thou about hits the Saints delivered that never seriously injured any opposing QB, it should be Reid, but nah, he has sold out to the PR machine. He also agrees with Goodell taking his division rivals cap money, that was key to his support in this situation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The league has a crisis on its hands and that relates to all of the concussion lawsuits and the ones that haven&#039;t even hit yet.  Goodell is responsible for getting the league past that and away from congressional investigations.  That&#039;s not the NFLPA&#039;s job. Also, there is no doubt that most fans don&#039;t appreciate the position that Goodell is in (waiting for many thumbs down for this post).  It&#039;s the owners and commissioner who need to serve as stewards of the game.  If anyone is waiting for Dee Smith ever to do anything about players health, you shouldn&#039;t hold your breath.  Unless it relates to more money and less time in the offseason, the NFLPA has no interest.  It&#039;s laughable that they haven&#039;t even staked out a position on the concussion lawsuits and THAT is what Goodell and the owners are up against.]]></description>
