Expect everything the Saints do now to be scrutinized
 

Last month, Alex Marvez of FOX reported that the Saints actually had volunteered for the duty. It was odd at the time. Even with a new CBA that reduces offseason workouts and training camp intensity, why would anyone want to play a fifth preseason game, or open camp two weeks early?

Now, it all makes sense. With suspensions possible for players and coaches — including head coach Sean Payton — who violated the bounty rules, the Saints will need all the extra work they can get before the launch of the regular season

I guess the fact that Willie Roaf was among the class of inductees had nothing to do with the Saints volunteering for HOF game?

I commented that since 2006 the Saints have OWNED the Giants, and the league doesn't want to give the Saints a national stage to start the season 1-0!
