Honestly, if they aided in helping the church cover up or recover from abusing children, I am not sure I can follow them anymore. Can anyone give more information about this?

From the Associated Press, which should be more reputable than some. However, the timing of dropping this story on Super Bowl week in NOLA is about as creepy as some of the things alleged.

Sell the team.

Some of this had already been known. I guess it's just how deep the team was involved that is new info.

If I recall correctly, it was known that the team offered PR help to the Church at Gayle's request. But supposedly was just some advice. Looks like that was not entirely true.

And if this isn't horrible enough, which it absolutely is, doesn't make the team attractive to potential coaches, does it?

Sell, the team Gayle.

No wonder our front office pursued DeShaun Watson so heavily.

Time to clean house. No wonder there is no accountability in our front office when the message is to give even predators a second chance.

Hope we don’t sign Justin Tucker.

Perhaps if we dont fire Loomis, we will fire Laushka or Bensel and Loomis can backfill their non-football position and make excuses for creepy priests while loudly chewing gum and comparing Jerry Sandusky to Bill Belichick.

I’ve never been a “sell the team” but if all this is true I’d like them to sell and fire everyone. That would be the only way I could continue to be a fan.

Mostly old news that's being rehashed to take advantage of the visibility available to maximize clicks and the related ad revenues. Note the byline on the story. It's not credited to any individual reports and simply carries a generic Associated Press byline. Not condoning anything that the Saints did or didn't do, but this is opportunistic grandstanding, pure and simple.

And now we know why Tilman Fertitta made a public offer to buy the franchise.

Re: If true this is absolutely disgusting
 

Because the NHL had no interest in his buying a new team.

The AP News version of the article has the byline ... Jim Mustain and Brett Martel
