Sean Payton accused of abusing Vicodin

DEA exploring Saints case

Friday night, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported on the filing of a lawsuit against the Saints by former director of security Geoffrey Santini, who alleges that he resigned after G.M. Mickey Loomis tried to cover up the abuse and/or theft of Vicodin by two unnamed senior staff members.

Early Saturday afternoon, we reported that the two unnamed senior staff members are coach Sean Payton and assistant head coach/linebackers coach Joe Vitt. (The New Orleans Times-Picayune and, subsequently, the AP confirmed our report.)

So what does all this new info mean? Possible new coaching staff for the Saints this year? If so the magic from last year wouldn't transfer into this year very well. And would hurt the Saints organization tremendously.

I hope for the best for the Aints but I'm shocked by this news, I mean why in the hell would someone break the law for Vicodin? why not stronger pain medicine if your going to steal it? I just don't get it.

sean payton is going to be fired because he borrowed hilly billy heroin to help him sleep at night.

next up, am I going to go to jail for raiding my mom's medicine cabinet every time I go to their house for dinner?

This will be a Public Relations nightmare for them, but will not get Payton fired. I am as excited about it as anyone (from a football only standpoint), but the Saints will nt be destroyed by this, no matter how much we hope it will.

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
