Why do Saints fans overlook the denial?

    He didn't make up those rules. They have been in the game for a while now. He didn't just make them up to punish the Saints. The rules were in the rule book.

    Eh, i guess

    Stupid rule

    A man should be allowed to pay another man money for good plays within the rules

    And there is no proof that the saints players actually had intentions to injure other players

    Not unless they can go back in time and read their minds

    Not every team has coaches stupid enough to have that much evidence just sitting around and talking about breaking the rules openly. My guess is there is probably a good number of teams taht may do it but they rarely have a coach handing out the money or talking about it in emails. The coach orchestrated the system.

    Agreed the Saints were dumb about it

    But still, these punishments are outrageous

  • I posted an article yesterday of the Giants players quoted saying "we knew Kyle wiliams had 4 concussions in the past so we wanted to take him out of the game"

    It happens all over, Nola was just made an example bc Godell wants a family league and flag foobal.

    The man has single handedly ruined football in 5 years.

    Yet the league is as popular as it's ever been. I don't think he is ruining the league. He is making it the most profitable major sport in the nation.

    On the Giants player, he didn't break any rule that I know about. On the other hand the Saints clearly broke a rule.

    In my opinion.. He is ruining the game. You are free to your opinion but football is not the same to me.. Money or not.

    I agree but understand why it has to be done the way it is. The game doesn't appeal to me as much as it used to but it is a business.

    Most things in this country that are very popular i hate with a passion

    People in this country are really stupid for the most part so its popularity pretty much speaks to the fact it sucks now

    The " business " is killing college football too

    Its a " sport " it should not be about business

    But all people care about is money sadly

    They don't play for free. They don't let you watch the games for free.

    He only took 2 2nd round picks... Redskins traded way more than that for one player.

    Yet Redskins get something for it. Calculated risk that that something will pan out vs. externally imposed guarantee that your picks = nothing. I think we can agree that the Saints have been one of the league's upper tier teams for several years, but they are getting old in some areas and are in dire need of some re-tooling; taking away those picks profoundly hampers their ability to do so. Couple that with the disarray created by coach suspensions which creates a picture of instability not likely to attract any free agents they may have had in the crosshairs, and I think the future is not real bright.

    As a dolphins fan, I am all to aware of what happens when you squander early round draft draft picks.

    Again levy huge fines, but this is just way over the top, and really places way too much punishment on the fans. we need an icon for a steaming pile of censored IMO

    Can't disagree with you.

    And with all of the publicity given to these high school/college recruiting seven-on-seven showcases, i'm a little nervous about the direction college football may be heading.

    Im not saying they shouldn't make money

    But it shouldn't be the end all be all

    All for nothing? How about all for lieing?

    and where was this "who cares? everyone does it" attitude when AU was being investigated for Cam? Also, I remember a few LSU/Saints fans complaining and wanting AU players kicked off the team and coaches fired for calling for a chop-block on Dorsey. Where was the "who cares, its football" attitude then?

    Here we go again, somehow comes back to auburn and cam.

    To be fair, it came out yesterday that the Saints had "bounties" on 4 QBs last year and one of them was Cam Newton...
