this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; This is a HUGE waste of time. For the debate, the media and for us now that we've read it. Their hearts are in the right place. But their brains are tucked away in an old shoe box....

And it is sending a message so it isn't a waste. It shows the state is united over this. |

The NFL will likely scoff at it but I agree with Halo, with the SB in our backyard it could be a bad idea to ignore it. I just wish it had some meat in it:
HLS 12RS-1862 ORIGINAL Page 1 of 2 Regular Session, 2012 HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 50 BY REPRESENTATIVE HENRY AMUSEMENTS/SPORTS: Requests that the National Football League reconsider the penalties imposed upon the New Orleans Saints 1 A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 2 To urge and request the National Football League to reconsider the penalties imposed upon 3 the New Orleans Saints. 4 WHEREAS, the National Football League has imposed a series of penalties upon the 5 New Orleans Saints; and 6 WHEREAS, the New Orleans Saints have produced countless exciting and magical 7 moments for the city of New Orleans, the state of Louisiana, the Gulf Coast region, and the 8 entire country; and 9 WHEREAS, the taxpayers of Louisiana have invested millions of dollars into the 10 success of the Saints organization by supporting stadium improvements, practice facilities, 11 and other incentives; and 12 WHEREAS, the popularity of the New Orleans Saints has provided a tremendously 13 positive economic impact, and the sanctions faced by the team will likely have a negative 14 economic impact across the Crescent City and the state as a whole; and 15 WHEREAS, the first coach ever suspended by the NFL for any reason, the head 16 coach of the Saints has been suspended for the entire 2012 season, the general manager for 17 the first eight regular season games, and an assistant coach for the first six regular season 18 games, all without pay, and the Saints organization has been fined five hundred thousand 19 dollars; and 20 WHEREAS, additionally, certain Saints players are facing possible fines and 21 suspensions; and HLS 12RS-1862 ORIGINAL HCR NO. 50 Page 2 of 2 |

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm with Halo. This could be something that can be leveraged down the road. But beyond even that, KEEP THE NOISE COMING. Do NOT simply give up. All the hell that CAN be raised NEEDS to be raised, but any and everyone in a position to raise it. Roger Goodell MUST BE MADE TO SHOW HIS EVIDENCE. When that happens, the chips can then fall in whichever direction they fall, but he MUST show the Evidence. |

This Wednesday when the NFLPA has their grievance heard, will that force Roger to show what evidence he has against Vilma and Smith or risk the suspensions revoked?
