Getty ImagesIn an apparent effort to exonerate airport workers who may or may not have egged the Saints’ buses at the Atlanta airport on Wednesday night, a spokesman for the Aircraft Service International Group claimed on Thursday that the “eggs were thrown by people other than airport employees.”
The spokesman from the company that provides various plane-related services at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport contends that the egging occurred as the buses were leaving the airport, rolling past a parking area.
But that’s not how we hear it. The eggs, we’re told, hit the buses before they began to move, while parked immediately in the vicinity of the plane that had brought the Saints from New Orleans.
Whether thrown by the employees who removed the bags from the plane or by one or more food-service employees who had entered the tarmac, it’s our understanding that the eggs weren’t thrown by fans were able to get close to the path of the buses.
Does it matter? As it relates to the ongoing employment of the folks who threw the eggs, if they were thrown by airport workers, it definitely does.

Please more stories about this egging, it is so fascinating.
must be a slow news day.
Man America is oversensitive. Let them keep working and stop wasting everyones time with this “investigation”.
I am sure the media is eggaggerating.
Looks like someone has egg on their face!!!!! Hardy har har…
Oh lawd! The humanity!
Egg-Gate…I love it!
Another Congressional hearing, no doubt.
It’s almost like people don’t realize that Watergate was not a controversy over water.
Some peeps are going to lose their security clearance…
The only one that should be upset about this is the guy that has to clean the bus.
“Fill in the blank”-gate needs to be retired.
Before we do, name your favorite “gate.

My favorite gate is the swinging gate. Anything spawned from Watergate needs to be removed from the lexicon. Just an opinion, but it’s absolutely correct.
Something doesn’t add up in blaming airport-related employees.
In my years of travelling, fresh food in the airport or on the tarmac waiting to get loaded into plane is about as uncommon as finding metal cutlery for your airplane meal anymore or a decent movie on a long haul fight.
Nobody is taking the proper angle on this story- Drew Brees is allergic to eggs!!!! This was assault with a deadly weapon!!!!
How about you report on the real crime here? The Saints still have their rings despite getting caught cheating to get them. They deserve the egging.
Why is it that everything that happens has to have the word “gate” attached to it? Seriously that is so dumb.
