Time for Saints fans to get excited

papz · 05-03-2012, 06:39 AM

Finally, it's over.

No, I fully realize that all aspects of the ridiculous Saints bounty-gate scandal isn't over.

The commissioner will continue to dishonestly refer to it as a "player safety" issue. That part isn't over.

The NFL will more than likely try to use that lie in court one day in a weak attempt to portray that it puts player safety No. 1 on its priority list. That part isn't even close to over.

Every time the commissioner announces yet another Thursday game or another push to play an 18-game schedule, the minds of Saints' fans will most certainly reflect back to his bounty-gate lies. That part may never completely be over.

The motivation gained by the new and returning Saints players from all the negative propaganda from the commissioner's office and the national media will hopefully play a key role throughout the upcoming season. Saints fans are hoping that ends in a fifth straight double-digit win season.

The franchise must now move on without its head coach and through all the distractions and questions about bounty-gate from now until the end of the 2012 season. That part is actually just beginning.

Danno, you know that if Drew announced his retirement tonight, you along with the rest of us would drop a BIG turd right where you're standing. We would all get pissed, and we would spend the rest of the off season blaming Goodell, Williams, and Drews agent for killing our golden goose.

At least that's what I would do. LOL

Nope, the only person I'd blame is Drew Brees, and I'd be just as excited about 2012 with or without Drew and there's not a shred of doubt in my mind about that at all.
