Those of you who so easily brush off what he did is mysterious to me...and brings me back to my original question. All I can say is all those who welcome back the turncoat must not have been around when all this crap happened. It is beyond me how one person can cause so much chaos in an organization and still be welcome by the fans...just beyond me.

I hear ya LB. But I think you have the wrong enemy. If I was going to choose one it would be Jim Finks. He really didn't want to pay Hebert. If an organization really didn't want to pay me I think I would also find another place to work. Even if it is the competition.

Plus, I highly doubt that even Deuce would turn down a contract from Atlanta at this point in his career. And that wouldn't make him a turncoat.

Geez...don't get me started again. If we had been counting on Deuce in any way and he held out for more money...and then we traded our future away in an attempt to replace him...and then he scored a TD against us and "flew off the field" to taunt us...I'd probably feel the same way about him.

Fair enough. I wouldn't. I would say "good for you Deuce". Then I would sit back and watch Drew tie the game.

What I was wondering, from the very beginning, though, is it the fact that Bobby was from Louisiana and Favre is not from Wisconsin (sorry, DIU, I'll never talk about him in another one of your threads...and I'm not trying to be, well, you know), or will this thing eventually blow over and some day Favre will be sitting in the booth at Lambeau field doing GB games?

Favre isn't from Wisconsin like you mentioned and didn't play college ball there either. But I would bet that after his football career he could do whatever he wanted in there and he would be welcomed.

It is interesting to point out, though, that while Fourcade was finishing the season that Bobby was benched, he won the last three games on the schedule while beating a tough Philly team and a tough Buffalo team, Jim Kelly and all, in Buffalo...and in doing so won a $50K incentive bonus for Hebert. Hebert had a clause that said if the Saints won 10 games he would get the extra lettuce.

Well, I was around when all of that happened, and I would like to ask you, what exactly is it that Bobby did to the franchise?
Did he bench himself?
Did he come up and/or approved the trade for Walsh?
Did he bring in Wade Wilson?
Was he coaching the Saints in 1992-1993?
If Fourcade was that good of a QB that "he" won the last 3 games of the 1989 season against tough teams, was Bobby's idea to release Fourcade and bring in the aforementioned Walsh?
Why didn't Fourcade start in 1990? Did Bobby made that decision?

After all, Bobby was benched, right? He didn't bench himself. It was the coach's decision to bench him with the blessing of the FO. So how could a player who "obviously" wasn't good enough to play for the team in 1989 create all of this turmoil in 1990-1991-1992-1993?

No Sir. You can resent Bobby for holding out, but you need to resent Jim Finks as well for mis-managing the entire affair.
