Saints in BIG trouble...

prepare for forum meltdown when the punishment isn't that extreme

I doubt it matches what most think is extreme. Some saints fans will insist it not a big deal if 10 draft picks are gone. Some will howl like pre teen girl if Payton is suspended for one game.

Here some will see next years first taken away as a huge blow. Others will cry foul if the Saints keep their trophy.

They only way I see it being insanely brutal is if the NFLPA & Goodell both decide that the risk of future "they didn't care about player safety" lawsuits is too great to deal a normal punishment.

League already said punishment would only consist of fines and POSSIBLY suspensions and loss of draft picks. Why would their trophy even be mentioned? Also, Saints tied for highest score against Colts when Payton went out and Pete Carmichael came in for him. In fact he did such a good job, Carmichael was on HC job interview list by 2-3 teams and decided to stay at least one more year. So any suspensions of Payton have a proven backup in place and the fines are small potatoes for billionaire owner of Saints, Tom Benson, number 392 on Forbes 500 list.

Blah blah blah

The Taints were exposed as the classless scumbags I have always known they were. Payton's druggie ass was exposed as a cheater. Brees has ruined your little "he loves the city more than money" wet dream. Any fines and penalties are just gravy to me. I was more than satisfied seeing your little sh*tty franchise get exposed. The simple fact that cheating will be brought up every time the Taints are mentioned from this point on is awesome.

It is that kind of arrogance that likely made the Saints think the rules did not apply to them. That arrogance had already rubbed NFL execs the wrong way before this story broke.

No need to worry about the trophy...it is forever tainted.

What a bunch of hypocrites

According to an investigative report posted on the Charlotte Observer's Web site on Sunday, a number of Carolina Panthers used a vast quantity and tremendous variety of performance-enhancing drugs during the team's 2004 Super Bowl season.

The newspaper looked at medical records and court documents released in conjunction with the federal steroids case against Dr. James Shortt, who last month was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for distributing steroids and human growth hormone.

"Several of [the players] were using disturbing, particularly alarmingly high amounts with high dosages for long durations -- some in combinations," said Dr. Gary Wadler, who prepared a report for the U.S. Attorney's Office that was used to prosecute Shortt. "This wasn't just a passing flirtation with these prohibited substances. When I see [prescriptions] 'renewed five times,' I say, 'What are you trying to accomplish?' "

Players' names were blacked out on Wadler's report, but the Observer reported that six Panthers -- and three of the five starting offensive linemen from the Super Bowl team -- were taking performance enhancers. And many reported adverse reactions.

you say potatoe I say potato

That's so sad that you are trying to nitpick a post of mine on grammatical correctness and expose yourself. I said "potatoes" , which is the plural of "potato", I never said "potatoe"!

Here is a link to help you remember the grammar rules we learned in 3rd grade since you seem to have forgotten:

What is the correct response? Oh yeah

Who cares? Everybody does it.

Did I do it right?

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
