Since you brought that up again, I have had a question that I have been meaning to ask you.

Why, even if it was Graham being the driving force behind the challenging of the franchise tag designation, does it bother you? Why would you have an issue with it in the first place? He was always going to work out the new deal with the Saints anyway and was not going to be playing under the tag, therefore it wasn't going to affect the Saints cap even if he won the challenge.

All along it was a fuzzy area within the CBA that needed to be cleared up. Both the NFLPA and the NFL front office appeared to have wanted the subject resolved, as well. Even if the NFLPA wasn't urging Graham to pursue the challenge (which I have no doubt they urged him quite a bit), what makes Graham such a bad guy in your eyes for doing so?

I found the whole thing interesting and really never got the reaction of some of the fan base toward Graham who was little more than an outside observer wanting for the whole thing to be over so he could join him teammates, which he did just before training camp.
