I'm not so sold on Matt Flynn as the franchise type guy that will sell tickets. I think they would be better off spending a lot of draft picks to get RG3 or just draft Tannehill and mold into "your" guy. | ||

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/02/nfl-finds-that-saints-violated-bounty-rule/related/ The repercussions will be interesting to see, especially with Drew Brees still unsigned just days before Free Agency... I guess Donte Whitner heard about this "bounty program" and wanted to see if he could collect. | ||

Before the 2009 NFC Championship Game, Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma offered any defensive teammate $10,000 in cash to knock then-Vikings quarterback Brett Favre out of the game. from King's article here. I'd assume that's just one instance though. | ||

Incoming Saints fans claiming every team does stuff like this, similar to alot of Pats fans after Spygate. | ||

We're going to get hammered with penalties for it and our brief stint of relevancy is going to leave soon if Brees feels like jetting out of town after this incident. Utterly despicable. It doesn't matter if other teams do it, that doesn't make it okay. I think this will surerly affect the saints negatively but atleast you dont want to worry about drew brees. Even if he wont sign the saints will surerly franchise tag him. I guess there would be questions about his motivation in thar case though. | ||

Also, I am pissed that Philly franchised Jackson. Unless he has a complete mental turn around, I'm done with him. I hope we sign Plaxico, he wants to join Vick and would help tremendously in the redzone. | ||

Saints are fucked. Brees better find a way out of that tag. EDIT: Good article on how fucked they are legally too. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/michael_mccann/03/03/saints.bounty.system/index.html Highlight being players can be charged with Second Degree Battery (5 years in prison) | ||

I dunno, but I think the big commotion is about Greg Williams being behind it all. Either way, it's still disgusting. Paying players thousands to go out and deliberately knock someone out of the game. | ||

Lowballing the only relevant player in your entire team's history is a pretty great way to get him to leave, the franchise tag doesn't help that. I'm so utterly fucking disgusted and this has probably ruined the rest of the year for me. The entire franchise finally emerged from being a useless shitheap for 40 years and then this one fucking jackass ruins it. | ||

The fact that they tagged Brees means he's leaving after this year, honestly. Back to nothingness, Saints =/ | ||

I hope we sign Plaxico, he wants to join Vick and would help tremendously in the redzone. Jackson will never pan out for the Eagles. He's a whiny, fragile little bitch. As for signing Plaxico, it would definitely be nice to have a good target that isn't a shrimp for the first time in the Andy Reid era. Eagles are gobbling up all the ex-cons. | ||

Except maybe the IRS, they love their money. Yeah I don't see the Second Degree battery happening in a full-contact sport like football, but the Saints still got their shit all fucked up. The Brees thing is just stupid. Yeah some of his stats are inflated from the dome game and what not, but he's still a TOP 3 QB in the league (#1 right now imo, fuck Rogers and Brady). The Saints are really going to lowball the mofo? Who's their backup again? Chase Daniel? Mark Brunell? I really don't know, but (and I'm asking Saints Fans this) Do you guys have any faith in your backup QB? Better hope they have a draft pick or two remaining or who knows... they can always sign Peyton Manning when he gets cut :D | ||
