Plaintiff: Saints GM Mickey Loomis was covering up pill abuse

All I know is this has the potential to wreak the franchise. Hopefully everything will turn out fine, but the potential is there. Just think if the Tom Benson is forced to release Loomis and Payton. The franchise could revert back to the old Saints in a heartbeat.

I am sick of these articles not stating what is undeniably the truth -- there was no cover up. According to the plaintiff's own complaint, these are the facts:

1. Loomis authorized Santini to notify the US Attorney.

2. Loomis notified the NFL.

3. Loomis authorized Santini to give his beloved report to Benson.

Obviously, after Loomis finished his phone call with the US Attorney he could have shut the hell up and never spoke about it again unless compelled to do so by the government. How could Santini possibly felt like he was in danger of being accused of covering something up when he was the one who made the call to the Feds?

The Saints may very well decide to settle with this guy, but one thing is for certain -- no New Orleans jury is ever going to give him a dime.

Yes the case has not been dropped but it's going to arbitration, which is a smaller formal way of going about it.. it's not totally "DROPPED" he just withdrew from the lawsuit
