He's that idiot.

He's one of the regulars on NFL network.

He's also the biggest Saints basher ever.

Seriously it's like anytime this guy gets the chance he just trashes them.
This is probably due to the fact that dukes was a former o linemen for the FALCONS OF ALL PEOPLE!

Well NFL total access(which I have to watch cause it's the only thing close to simple news instead of morons with dumb opinions like on ESPN) had a segment where they asked which teams they think will "not live up to expectations".

One guy said the panthers, Dukes said the saints. The dumb part was

1. I knew he was gonna say saints cause it was him

2. Why are we considered a team that has HIGH expectations anyway by people outside the who dat nation? I know we will do well but I thought we would be more of a sleeper team(similar to the 9ers last year but actually making it to the super bowl).

3 and most important.


What is this "urgency" crap? This wasn't something new. Dukes has said the saints never look "urgent" before. Why should we? If we just speed through everything then we'd probably do worse. Urgency implies weakness so teams are all gonna go for us. We had 4 months to figure this out and we didn't need to figure much out anyway thanks to paytons system so what's the hurry?

My question was, when did Payton become a defensive guy? He picked the Saints because he doesn't like them and grasped at straws to back it up. They were the weakest straws ever. Nothing he said made sense.

The more people say crap like this, the more the 'experts' pick us to go 7-9 (cough, cough... Skinny Mike on Mike & Mike), the dumber these people will seem.
