I'm curious which people think is more embarrassing between 28-3 and this.

I'm gonna guess 28-3 but this is getting flat-out ridiculous.

On the field? 28-3 for sure.

The aftermath? Refgate and it isn't even close.

Congressman wants Goodell to testify before antitrust subcommittee

Specifically, Congressman Cedric Richmond, D-LA (Surprised?)

To be clear, the Antitrust Committee is the one Congress typically uses when they want to scare the NFL.

Good it’s time they knock Goober down a few notches.

methinks any congressman has something a little more important than a football game to be attending to right now. don’t think the 800k workers about to miss their second paycheck give a flying fug about the taints.

What a bunch of babies.

If memory serves me correctly, the Saints were gifted a SB a few years ago.

Were they actually expecting that to happen twice?

As bad as their loss was to them, they are making it worse. 

Just when I thought that the human race couldn't get more f****** ignorant.

Lived in LA for three years, some of the most corrupt pols in the nation.

Wouldn't expect any of them to miss an opportunity to score some brownie points with the voters back home.

I live in Louisiana and you are absolutely right. This is no more than a way to get publicity. I’d prefer our governor and congressmen to worry about more important things like fixing our roads and public education system, but that’s me. 

I’m mad about the call, too, but there’s nothing that can be done. Worry about stuff that they actually can change.

Exactly, but that would require real work on the pols part.  

Public posturing is so much easier.

I’m surprised this hasn’t taken a turn for the tinderbox by this point tbh...
