I find it kind a funny that people are bashing the stats’s government for giving their two cents about the issue. If I understand correctly, doesn’t the NFL push for state governments to help pay for rebuilding/refurbishing NFL stadiums? Look at the whole Vikings situation. Why shouldn’t they say anything in favor of the taxpayers? It’s their money that is helping the NFL, right? Without the state’s money there would be no stadiums for the NFL to broadcast and they would loose money.

What everyone here is trying to tell you guys is that there is more important things to discuss like how the he^^ do we get people out of the city when the next hurricane comes. Did not work so well the last time. I think that it should be #1 on the list.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Turner28 - please stop taking a shortcut to thinking for yourself.  If I had to choose between a player that worked for Williams vs what the media says, then I go with the players. Even then, my point wasn&#039;t whether or not I believe or disbelieve anyone. The point I was making was that the people who pretend outrage against the Saints without hard evidence, completely give everyone else a pass. Either bounty programs anger you or they don&#039;t. This pretend anger is just people trying to slam the Saints because they don&#039;t like the team. They don&#039;t care about the truth. They care about being right. And they only pay attention to the information that helps their prejudice arguments.

Much like you just did to me.]]></description>

If you think defenders ain&#039;t already trying to knock their opponent out you are naive. I compare the bounty bull crap to what it would be like if NASCAR officials handed out speeding tickets at the Daytona 500! You think the Saints and football are too tough then just watch a girl sport like, say, golf. There ya go. If the Saints and NFL football scares you get a dog and watch golf! Ha Ha. I laugh in all yalls faces. The Saints will host and win the Super Bowl in New Orleans this coming January! All you haters will be bowing to the Saints from week 1 all the way to the Super Bowl! Ha Ha. Geaux Saints!]]></description>

I can do nothing but laugh at Saint* fans.

Contract that team already.
———————

I would reply that the league should contract the Panthers, but Saints fans appreciate the 2 built in wins each season. Panthers and Bobcats…what a pathetic sports city.
 -------------
Saints vs Panthers all time series tied at 17-17.  Two built in wins huh?  Do Saint fans know the team existed prior to 2009?]]></description>

<p>Contract that team already.<br />

<p>I would reply that the league should contract the Panthers, but Saints fans appreciate the 2 built in wins each season. Panthers and Bobcats…what a pathetic sports city.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[We will have to go through the entire season hearing about bounties every Saints game. What a downer. It&#039;s too bad these guys did this to themselves. They embarrassed themselves, the league, and their fans (even if they don&#039;t know it). I understand that they may not have fulfilled many bounties on the field, but why couldn&#039;t they simply stop the program when asked the 1st 3 times?

I refuse to watch any Saints game this year except the one I have to watch: 9ers/Saints. This is the first bounty article I have read or responded to in over a 2 weeks. I don&#039;t want this upcoming season to be defined by the Saints and their bounty program. The league is better than that and so is their product. Thanks but no thanks.]]></description>

Just thinking about it scared you slap dab to death! People looking for trouble (all you haters kicking the saints while they&#039;re down) ain&#039;t near as tough as the ones waiting for it.

		<description><![CDATA[As a person that worked on capital hill back in the day as a page, I saw first hand there how Congressmen/women act during votes and issues. I find this hysterical that a states governing body is trying to have influence on this decision.  Doesn&#039;t your state and it&#039;s people have enough issues that need your focus and attention rather than voting on something you have no say in or for that matter no one cares how you vote?  Take care of your people!

No matter what people say, Goodell is great for the NFL and his ruling fits the crime.  This is common reaction for a team and the guilty parties.  All the no&#039;s on here are their fans that realize the Saints time is slowly coming to an end.  If this were another team, they&#039;d be just as furious.  I donated, supported efforts and prayed for the people during Katrina BUT in the end, this is a business and the brass of the Saints used a disaster to take advantage and mask how dirty they really are.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok... I have to respond. I&#039;m not &quot;assuming&quot; other teams he coached have done it. Former players came out and said so. Google it.

As far as what Hargrove and Williams signed... It was a piece of paper crafted by the NFL and in both cases the term &quot;bounty program&quot; was never used. It was portrayed that way in the media by the NFL. Google it.

And saying the Saints got off easy, what you&#039;re saying is they&#039;re guilty. If I see evidence, I&#039;ll agree. Goodell has given no one access to this &quot;evidence&quot; so I&#039;m not going to assume they are guilty because the media says so. And basically that&#039;s all you&#039;ve got. Goodell doesn&#039;t owe evidence to any of us, but if a player or coach gets suspended, they have a right to see it.

Finally, here we go with the lying again. So, all of you people are okay with bounties for injuries, as long as nobody lies about it? A year suspension for lying? Really?

Again, Donte Stallworth got the same punishment for killing a human being. Google it.]]></description>

And while it&#039;s stupid for the LA legislature to put their 2 cents in, it&#039;s not like they spent weeks deliberating.  Someone drew up a resolution and put it to a vote.
