Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

The New Orleans Saints — still trying to put the infamous “Bountygate” scandal behind them — are calling the Falcons “classless” after handing Atlanta its first loss of the season Sunday.

From USA Today:

“They were talking (expletive) to our guy Curtis Lofton,” Saints linebacker Scott Shanle told Mike Silver on Sunday night. “I couldn’t even understand them. They were just walking all over our drills trying to mess with him. (Linebacker Jonathan) Vilma went and told their coach it was classless and they didn’t even say anything. It set the tone for the day. It was classless and they got what they deserved.”

Lofton is a former Falcon playing in his first season with the Saints.

Vilma, by the way, is only playing while he appeals a year-long suspension for allegedly participating in a program that paid players for injuring opposing players.

Some of the Saints players were also offended by a dance video made by Atlanta safety William Moore.

The “D-Block” rap video was posted on the Falcons’ website over the weekend.

“That video would never be allowed nor would our players make a video like that in our locker room,” NBC’s Pro Football Talk quoted an unidentified “Saints source.”

Of course, the Falcons have done their part to stoke the rivalry, which has been dominated in recent years by the Saints.

Last week, Roddy White told the Journal-Constitution:

“I don’t like nothing about the Saints. The colors. The city. Nothing. But they’ve got some good food, though. Other than the food, nothing.”

After Sunday’s game, White refused to credit the Saints.

“It’s not like they came out here and won a game,” he said. “I think we kind of gave it to them.”

Shanle, however, told Yahoo! Sports that Sunday’s result just proves the Saints “own” the Falcons.

“They’re like our little brothers. Deep down they know they can’t mess with us even when we are having a down year,” he said.

Why would the Saints players be offended by this ignorant video?

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

That rap is hilarious.

Is there an English translation?

I couldn't listen to that crap.

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

They may be classless but they sure got taken to school

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

screw Atlanta and screw Roddy White.

He would throw is grandmother under the bus to have Drew throw TD's to him. Haters gotta hate.

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

They have been that way since as long as I can remember. I wish someone would smack Roddy White in his face.

Trash talking fires my Saints up! Just keep running your mouths. :bng:

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

A big thanks to whoever an unidentified "Saints source” is - that's 2 minutes and 44 seconds that I'll never get back.

I can't imagine any Saints player really gives a rat's azz about that video.

You know between this video and the one of Matt Ryan playing guitar while the other guy sang and the d backs chanted, the 'clowns should give up on this foosball thing and start a family band with a brightly painted school bus

“They’re like our little brothers. Deep down they know they can’t mess with us even when we are having a down year,” he said.

Okay, +1 for Shanle

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

I'm glad somebody gave Shanle some props for that because it's hard for me to give Shanle kudos.

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

thats funny..their d is almost as bad as ours

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

I think the free press is confused this is just how they speak in atlanta.

How about Shanle, couldn't hit on field before sunday, but be he tackles well off field, LOL

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

Atlanta has all the makings of a team that will do absolutely nothing come post season once again. Only guy I feel for is Gonzalez. He's paid his dues and he's stuck on that leaky ship.

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

We hate Lofton. He left to you guys and on top of that talked smack about our team when he left. We wont forget it.

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

Ok?

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

You sound like a bitter ex-girlfriend, mad cause her man traded up

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

:roflmao:

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

:deadhorse:

We get it - we got it this week, and last week and the week before that........

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

Well, don't worry things will get back to normal at the end of the season, when you will hate your "1 and done" team again, and burn all their stuff.

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

Let's take that energy, we had on Sunday, into the game at their house.

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

Sunday, was a major embarrassment and put down for the falcons. Winning at their house would be complete humiliation, LOL.

They would drop 10pts in the power ratings, and their fans will start the usual jersey burnings, LOL

Re: Saints call Falcons ‘classless’
 

LOL if I could +10 this, I would!
