The Saints went to a SB one lousy time..and only after spending so much to rebuild the Superdome. They needed the profit back for that. It had nothing to do with being a better team. Win and people spend money..fans are just puppets on a string. But I'll leave it alone for now.its amazing how people act like their mother is being stabbed just because they are talking about a game on tv that has nothing to do with them..it's entertainment.it has nothing to do with you. Win or lose and it won't change your life.dont take it personal

It must take an incredible amount of faith to believe that someone would go through all the time and effort it would take to script these games but still make them "believable." I mean pro wrestling is all scripted and probably takes an incredible amount of effort and it's nowhere even close to believable. And they still make a ton of money at it. So why would the NFL bother with making the games seem realistic (which is where the real time and effort would have to come in) when wrestling proves that it's not necessary to do so? You're entitled to your opinion of course, but don't tell me I'm not wise enough to see the truth when wisdom doesn't even support your theory.

if it were real,players would be getting cut at a faster rate each year. This was staged. No way in hell the Bucs had a remote chance..no way in hell they can score that much. You'd think fans would learn this after the playoff game last year. Sports is entertainment,not competition. Saints took a dive to end last year and to start this year

Star player who was worshipped all pregame show and has multiple commercials during game is allegedly injured but comes back in second half to save the day lol..it's so obvious now. So very,very obvious. The crazy people are the one's who think they are watching a natural competition. It's entertainment. It's a show.

Wow! This guy makes Will(Insert Team Name Here)81 seem halfway normal.

What I see from this is that Te'o, while not getting the respect, is all heart and comes through when needed. And that Coleman showed why he was added to the very young secondary. He is able to be as solid as possible when things appear to be going south. Your younger, less experienced players will overreact, if not all out panic.

. common sense tells you that in the real world games dont keep coming down to the final play/drive/shot etc.. every weekend.. and yet it keeps happening..no ones real life is that exciting. Only when you turn on tv.
you believe and hope wisdom doesnt support my theory. you dont actually know it doesnt. You cant prove me wrong.. you only 'believe' that since a majority agree with you and not me.. that you must be right.
who won the Packers game? the good looking guy in all the commercials and the famous girlfriend, did. The guy they spent 30 minutes on before the game started. its a tv show,he's the lead actor. It was all fake and artificial drama.
why arent the best players ugly guys, since ugly people outnumber good looking people nation/world wide? how come the stars are usually better, literate speakers in interviews? theres 40 guys on a team and they only talk to 4 of them all the time. Its because they are trained in what to say and how to say it. they are hand picked, they didnt earn their spot.
people just choose not to think when they turn on tv.

So Davis and Klein had the same grades?

So essentially, one sucked balls as much as the other?
