vmax Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 The GM should have more time off. Put an * next to their Super Bowl win...just like the one the Stealers had over Seattle. Quote
ForceEight Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 http://content.usato...eremy-shockey/1And we know who the snitch was. If I were him I would watch my back on the field.It wasn't Shockey. Too lazy to look on PFT for it, but they already reported that it wasn't him, and that Sapp was wrong. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 Really. PFT told me to look for Sapps report yesterday. They would not include Shockey's name in the report. If it isnt Shockey and he does get ear holed he could sue Sapp into oblivion. Quote
BengalBilly Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 I really don't care who told. They did the right thing. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 This is BS. There is no difference between this and getting an extra $2 mil for getting 10 sacks. Quote
cravnravn Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 No Pops, sacks are legal, twisting a guys knee or ankle so he has to take the John Deere ride is not.. Atleast we will now hear about this all season instead of hearing about Katrina....boo hoo fuckin hooo Quote
BengalBilly Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 This is BS. There is no difference between this and getting an extra $2 mil for getting 10 sacks. Please papa. There is a huge difference. Grabbing a QB and tackling him legally is one thing. Going for his knees or slamming him into the ground is another. Quote
RavenMad Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Does this open the Saints up to lawsuits? Basically anyone who got injured playing the Saints in the last few years could argue they were injured deliberately and sue the Saints. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 Can someone please show me the low and or illeagal hit on Brett Favre in the NFCC? He had a bounty. I must have missed it. This whole thing is a misdirrection on the NFL's part to show due dilligence in the upcoming lawsuits. "See we care for player safety." Had they used a different word than bounty it would not have been a big deal. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted March 24, 2012 Author Posted March 24, 2012 I have no issue with any of those hits. In the play hits. The QB is a "FOOTBALL" player too. Quote
vmax Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 A big part of this is the lying and the cover-up by Payton, Loomis and Williams. They kept it going after being warned and told to stop. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted March 25, 2012 Author Posted March 25, 2012 I hope everyone remembers this fondly when they really hate the product that is on the field. The NFL is making football suck. It is qucickly not resembling the game I once knew. Quote
cravnravn Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I have a problem with FOX picking up and signing Sean Peyton to a analyst job during his suspension, A suspension is meant to hurt you financially, in this case it will not. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 Did you expect anything different? I bet Williams has a job before long too. Quote
cravnravn Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Ya think?? I think Williams will be blackballed now because of this. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 Some media outlet will give him a job. He more than likely will never coach in the NFL again. They don't ban him for life because of a potential lawsuit but keep it open ended. Quote

vmax Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Peyton must love awkward moments because I'm sure he's having a lot of them hanging around the owners meeting. Now he's playing owner and GM by talking to Parcells. Who runs the show in New Orleans?Must be Payton. Quote
ravensflow Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 They deserved it. Too many things going on with the lawsuits from former players. Saints fans are in deial, thinking this is a conspiracy against them to destroy the franchise since they are a small market team. Quote

papasmurfbell Posted July 3, 2012 Author Posted July 3, 2012 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/03/goodell-urges-saints-to-meet-with-him-could-reduce-suspensions/ </h2><h2 class="h1 entry-title"> Goodell urges Saints to meet with him, could reduce suspensions NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell continues to maintain that he has the full authority to decide on the suspensions of four Saints players for their roles in the team’s bounty program, but in his letter to the four players today, he provided at least a glimmer of hope that he could be persuaded to reduce those suspensions.In the league’s announcement about Goodell upholding the suspensions of Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma, Packers defensive end Anthony Hargrove, Saints defensive end Will Smith and Browns linebacker Scott Fujita, a portion of the letter from Goodell to the players indicates that the Commissioner still wants to hear from the players and is committed to listening to what they have to say.“While this decision constitutes my final and binding determination under the CBA, I of course retain the inherent authority to reduce a suspension should facts be brought to my attention warranting the exercise of that discretion,” Goodell wrote to the players. “The record confirms that each of you was given multiple chances to meet with me to present your side of the story. You are each still welcome to do so.”For their part, the players seem to think meeting with Goodell would be futile, and they’d be better off going to court to obtain an injunction preventing the NFL from implementing their suspensions. Goodell may say his door is open and he’s ready to listen, but the players believe he has presided over an unfair investigation that he has no intention of opening his mind. This screams I do not want any outsiders looking at the evidence. This whole thing could blow up in my hands. Quote
JPPT1974 Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Well the suspensions of four players still stand says Goodell. Including Vilma's! Quote
