Sorry, I meant to reference Sean and Mickey's statement.

Saints won SB and games that year . Proof. Look at each game. Where did the refs toss games to the Saints? Where did the opposing players, oppsoing team owner, home media for that opposing team, and national media, say well, let the Saints have that point. Give them that touchdown. Don't call this or that penalty on the Saints.
SB proof. Look at the game. Does anyone think PeytonM. and team and owner Irsay said we want the Saints to win because the city went through that awful hurricane?

I do not think this tarnished the N.O. SB win.

You said it better than I did.

Really? Skip said the Saints cheated in both of their playoffs games and that our Super Bowl is tainted!!

Well technically we did violate the rules the entire time so it absolutely is tainted. Even Sean Payton admits it.

What's with the purity BS in this board now? "Tainted". It ain't a virgin, it's football, for crying out loud.

.. and contrary to what some people want to believe or what the players themselves say, NFL players do want to hurt each other, no matter if there's what amount to an office pool going or not.

"Bounty"... yeah.. Roman Harper shoves Steve Smith and gets ducked $15,000, but hey, he was thinking "man, those $1,000 is gonna buy ma' baby mama some shoes"... how bountiful is to be $14,000 in the red? ... please...

I love the Saints.... I have loved this team, since before most of the new fans were born..... But it seems like this could set the team back, for a while..... I am just disgusted, and angry right now..... I dont know how to feel right now.... I think I'm going to take a break from the NFL for a while..... Call me a terrible fan if u want too, but to wait this long to have a competitive team every year, only to watch the current administration try to dismantle the whole thing, is just heart breaking.... These guys wont stop, with all of the new rules, and basically the league is looking to wussify the whole thing.... I just cant watch them do it right now..... I know i should wait for the penalties first, but i just dont even want to think about this anymore.....

put a Bounty on Skip ( douchebag ) Bayless

I don't think there is one man that likes to hear himself talk more than Skippie...

You Really won't to get to him - ignore him...

SaintPauly, most of us feel the same damn way you do about this. It's a shame we have to be in front of the jury on this one. Especially after all those very hard lean years, we all remember those. The door mat of the Nfl days.

I wont call you a terrible fan, our Nfl is changing at a very fast rate. It will never be the same, before we know it might be illegal for a fullback/ running back to burst through the line "leading with a helmet". Goodell has his glass slipper on and he will not stop until the clock strikes midnight.

I have said the something about taking a break, but I can't I love my Saints. So when you want to come back just jump right on in, cause we will have a seat for ya.
