As for "greedy" players wanting too much money - think about how much the NFL makes off them and their success. And then think about guys like Marcus Lattimore. |

Look up Goodells 2012 salary. I do believe its in the 15-18 million range.

Probably why we didn't have too many owners step up in support of Tom Benson during the "bounty" "scandal" aka nigh-f'n-mare season. |

Because of Goodell? No however CEOs reap the benefit or punishment of things that happen during their tenure, regardless of who actually did it. |

Re: Kristian: Restructure Brees? Not so simple, and awfully risky
I get the whole Brees/Manning/Rogers/Brady talk...
What I don't like it last year we lost Carl Nicks. Who will it be this year? Heck Jimmy Graham next year? Ofcourse I like having one of the top QB's playing but we're losing talent around him too. Im worried that the defense will still stink and the O Line will make Brees look like Cutler.... Then what the hell is a 100 million QB worth if you don't have talent around him? Other issues I have is wtf are we paying Harper and Smith close to 7 and 12 million a year? You gotta be kidding me... Both of those guys should have been released. |

2 mil separates Brees from Manning. How does Denver do it?

I have said before I am a Saint fan, players come and go. His greed will have him running for his life this year. |

Offense wins GAMES.
Defense wins CHAMPIONSHIPS. We spent our wad on offense so we set records every year. Our defense set records last year as well... ;-/ Alaska |
