Yeah like my Vikings Super Bowl chances cause you pieces of trash tried to break our QB’s ankle. What a team full of pieces of human garbage.

Very surprised at the Brees haterfest here! Without Drew Brees, Saints probably go 0-16 this season. He deserves MVP consideration not our scorn. He doesn’t play defense last I checked. And if you read Scott Fajita’s well-stated comments, there are two sides to this story.

Goodell’s tenure as NFL Commissioner has been a complete and utter failure. I’d have more faith in my fantasy football commish than I do this jackass!

They still cheated, Tagliabue just moved the blame away from the players and blamed the coaches, normal life in this country, always someone elses fault. They cheated, face it, they won because they cheated, notice how things are going this year!!!!!!
————————–
Uh, read Tagliabue’s ruling and weep: “It is essential to recognize that Vilma is being most severely disciplined for “talk” or speech at a team meeting on the evening before the Saints-Vikings game. He is not being punished for his performance on the field and, indeed, none of the discipline of any player here relates to on-field conduct. No Saints’ player was suspended for on-field play by the League
after the game in question.”

There was no cheating, there is no asterisk, the Saints still have the Lombardi trophy, and your team is still 0-4 in Super Bowls. Now do us all a favor and go ice fishing.

Brees is right that team is just like the Patriots. Once a cheater always a cheater.

I’ve always liked Drew, but it is time for him to stop complaining. The Saints’ coaches deserved their suspensions. Yes, Goodell screwed the Saints’ players. That’s what happens when you sign a CBA that invests sole power in the commissioner to play judge, jury, and executioner. That’s why the Steelers fought that clause in the CBA and were the only team to vote against the agreement. If Drew was concerned about protecting his fellow players, he could have used his position in the negotiations to fight giving Goodell that kind of power. But he didn’t. So he should probably shut up now.

Shut up, Drew. It was a sloppy, botched investigation so I don’t disagree that there wasn’t evidence to convict. But for you to pretend there was a Chinese wall between the offensive and defensive side of the locker room and that you overheard no mention of a bounty program (while you were a lead NFLPA spokesman no less) – not on one occasion – is a farce.

By the way, the rest of the NFC thanks you for all of the early Christmas presents this year.

Brees wishes he had held out for more. Let’s hear from Greg Williams one more time on these ‘saints’.

This coming from a guy that held up the CBA so he can try to make a back room deal for HIMSELF. This coming from a guy that went off on a women reporter that asked him about his meaningless record when he went in a game to score a garbage time TD down by 4 scores.

Drew Brees is a liar with absolutely no class.

The Saints really got the shaft this year; without all this bounty-gate stuff they’d be on track for the playoffs now.

Every Saints fan seems to be saying that Payton’s suspension (unwarranted in their eyes somehow) is the reason for the team’s poor record. I have no doubt that it has had an effect but there are other factors. Andrew Luck (rookie) has taken his 2-14 team to a winning record and a likely playoff game while their head coach is MIA due to cancer. I think it is just as likely that Brees’ huge contract caused the loss of other players that were just as important to winning as Payton was/is.

Agreed. Irks me even more when they toss in “que the…whatever” (as though to say “I can see what’s coming NOW” like they’re some kind of future-seeing geniuses or something)

No bigger fraud in the league than drew Bree’s. mr. I play for the love of the game, but if you don’t give me$40 million a year, I’m going to sit and bitcchh about it like I’ve been wronged for my entire life.

It’s been great watching the saints and even more specifically Brees himself floundering and stumbling thier poor little ways through this season. My favorite was when they blew a 24-6 late 3rd qtr lead to the CHIEFS! Keep talkin’, Breesy! I’d be willing to bet that at this point in the season, many of your own fans probably wish you’d shut up and see if you can remember what a “W” feels like again.

Everybody that continues to falsely accuse te Saints of wrong doing is a moron. Way to over look the truth and ignore the facts. It no wonder why our country is in so much trouble!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who is falsely accusing the Saints? There were correctly accused, found guilty more than once, and the players’ punishment was removed for being too harsh–not because they didn’t do anything. Next time you think you see a moron, turn away from the mirror.

How could the whining stop here when Packers fans are still whining about losing to the Seahawks with the replacement refs?

Exactly how would the news “change their season”. Films and Smith missed games from injury. Tags essentially said coaches did it, can’t blame players.

Drew Brees is easily the most annoying player in the entire NFL. Just shut up! He takes to twitter to whine and cry victim for everything – the labor strike, this bounty scandal, his greedy contract negotiations. Yeah, way to lead Drew – threaten to sit out and demand a ridiculous amount of money forcing the Saints to send other players packing so they can afford to pay you. Then proceed to have the worst year of your career. Now you can’t blame “da man”for keeping you down….you’re doing it yourself.

Probably not.

that’s right. once you did it, it can’t be taken back. the same goes with those guys in new england. spygate can’t never be taken back… and it has been proven so far.

Lots of Saints fans talking about how “wait till next year, Sean will be back and this team will take it out on others – onto the Superbowl!”

Um – newsflash, you had Brees, Vilma, Peyton and Williams LAST year – you didn’t win anything. You had them when you lost in the play offs to a 7-9 Seahawks team.

Excuse the league if they’re not all that scared of the proposition.

BTW – Andrew Luck doesn’t have his HC, he’s taken a 2-14 team to the playoffs with a chance of winning their division.
