According to Ed Anderson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Committee on Senate and Governmental Affairs passed a resolution urging the NFL to reconsider the punishment.

The resolution cites “widespread public opinion throughout the state of Louisiana and beyond that the penalties imposed upon the Saints are too harsh and should be reconsidered.” Though the public opinion beyond Louisiana isn’t necessarily widespread, the penalties are indeed harsh.

...where the taxpayers are too stupid to realize that they themselves have been paying Saints owner Tom Benson millions to keep the team in Louisiana. That's kind of like an "anti-bounty", right? We'll pay you not to fug us up by moving the team to San Antonio or California.

Instead of fixing that poo infested state that has one of the worst education systems in America, they worry about the consequences from the NFL bounties.

who dat, dat be need'n an edgeahcation, bruduh? u can't be siriuss 'uot dat ish!

:D

Yeah, it's funny how they are backing this. I mean, yeah, I understand the backing of your team. And understand the whole "bringing the state together" and giving them something to believe in thing. But really?

Maybe some of the politicians paid in too, and don't wanna have it go to far. LOL At this point, I wouldn't be surprised by anything.

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      I hear you but yeah like you say, above average. His numbers were good. You’d think it would be a no brainer. Anyhow… I guess the new staff is also fine with him walking?    I hope if we sign him there isn’t some secret issue of his that led to him not being valued.
