From the start, I have said this is a 'Greg Williams' issue more then anything, he went 'over the top' in what is a common, NFL motivation procedure ... the pep talk.

I have not heard or read of a single Saints fan (or football fan for that matter) supporting Greg Williams or condoning what he did ... as a matter of fact, most of the 'loopy' opinions concerning 'bountygate' can be found outside of Black&Gold and WhoDat Nation. The continued demonization of New Orleans is just...

I've been seeing this headline bandied about and I've been thinking. I remember when the Lions signed Joique Bell off New Orleans practice squad. Detroit had just clinched a WildCard and I had begun hanging around the Black&Gold. Emotions were high, everyone in the "D" had been hoping for New York, but not me ...

So, I've talked around, did some research, got a feel from the people and the overwhelming, underlying...

Well, so this is what it comes down to this season, Patriots/Giants. Back to the future, the rematch, Tom Brady's revenge, Eli beating Peyton's bully in Peyton's backyard ... Boston vs New York ... the storylines are endless. Can't get that excited, maybe it's the ProBowl week blues, maybe it's because my team isn't in it, maybe it's because the parties overshadow the game at times, or the commercials, maybe it's that vitamin D deficiency thing they talk about in the winter, IDK.
