this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; For all you Jared Allen haters Barring any fan's close association with an NFC North rival, it's easy to feel sorry for the Minnesota Vikings. Think about Dennis Green on NFL Network's excellent "The Missing Rings" series, solemnly staring at ...

Who would have thought the lone voice of reason would come from Jared Allen?

Only reason I have any dislike for Allen is he doesn't play for us, he's a great DE. If we could only be so lucky.

There’s like brownstones everywhere and I’m like, ‘Awesome.’ I don’t know, I couldn’t do it. If I had to live in Detroit, I think I’d just drown myself in the river that was across the way. “I’m not trying to be mean but it’s just depressing when I go there. There’s two cities like I don’t go out to eat or don’t do anything. It’s Detroit and New Orleans. New Orleans looks like I’m driving through a third-world country. Every time I get off the plane, I’m like, ‘Oh, flak jacket.’ I’m trying to get down. I’m like, ‘Ah, crap, I can’t carry my gun here. This sucks.’" Jared Allen trashes cities of Detroit, New Orleans | National Football Post |

I have to say, I'm not getting where this is supposed to sound any different from what any Vikings player has been saying all along.
He's right that bounties weren't the reason they lost, but he's still suggesting there WERE bounties placed on Favre, and that the high-low hit was "vicious". We never did anything illegal in that game. It wasn't just that they failed to throw a flag. There was nothing to throw a flag about. Two guys were pursuing a quarterback at the same time and he got rid of the ball late, resulting in getting hit by both said players...Hmmm... I don't know about anyone else, but that sounds like a pretty normal football play. So basically, he said he doesn't want to cry over spilled milk, but he cried over spilled milk anyway. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

This was nothing more than a politically correct way of saying "we got robbed", so he can feel like he's a bigger man. You can say it in as many ways as you want, Jared, but the message is still the same. You have not, and will not ever get over being beat by a better team that day.
Here's a new cup of milk. Drink it this time. |
