I just saw this quote on Slashdot. Mr. Howe, ask a Saints fan how right you are these days!!!

I was talking casually to a die hard Eagles fan today in PA and he expressed the same sentiment that the Saints were punished way too harsh and he understood the whole issue with the player lawsuits to my surprise and the NFL using the Saints as a damage control measure.

Only thing I didn't like that he said was the hit on Warner was wrong which had me scratching me head. That was a beautiful hit...legal, brutal, and effective. If it happened to Brees I'd feel the same way, I may be disgusted and upset but at the end of the day I would acknowlege just like Warner that it was totally in the context of the rules that everyone else plays by.
