And we cannot change it.
And it's likely no punishment will ever match the level of unjustness levied by Heir Goodell upon the 2012 & 2013 & 2014 & 2015 New Orleans Saints franchise. That said, I've chosen to move on knowing that one day, somehow, his holiness will crumble under his own ego and vindication will one day arrive in the form of another Lombardi Trophy hoisted from a float as it rolls through the French Quarter. |

I get they didn't have a union to back them up but Payton and Loomis could have filled a lawsuit against Roger and the NFL. Benson was completely silent on the issue. I just don't understand why they just took it lying down. At least the players stood up for themselves.
