New Orleans Saints crossed the line in word, not deed, interim head coach Joe Vitt says

04-25-2012, 09:52 AM

New Orleans Saints interim head coach Joe Vitt admitted regret for his role in the bounty scandal that has rocked the Saints this off-season, but he insisted that it was only the words spoken in meetings that crossed the line -- not the players' actions on the field. Vitt also spoke passionately Tuesday about the team's resilience during his first news conference since being named the replacement for suspended Coach Sean Payton last week.

"Understand one thing: We ain't down. We are not down," Vitt said, showing off the fiery personality for which he has been known throughout his 34 years as an NFL assistant. It's easy to see why Vitt was named as Payton's replacement, despite the awkward situation it will present when Vitt begins serving his own six-game suspension in September.

I like him answering questions before they are asked!

Take the fuse out of the bomb and there will be no explosion!

I think every member of the Saints should start and end each and every media session with the words "Kiss My Ass".
