Re: I didn't think it was possible
The NFL makes business decisions and under Goodell they make business decisions with the product on the field.
We have all the proof we need of that after Sunday. So, if the NFL is willing to be as obvious as they were Sunday, who is to say they haven't been doing this under Goodell all along. The Saints were the feel good story of 2006 but just weren't good enough to make it easy for the NFL to help them get all the way there and it was Goodell's first year. In 2009, they were good enough and now I question every lucky break in 2009, especially in the playoffs. Bountygate wasn't personal. It was a business decision. They needed a fall guy. It was the Saints. A Superbowl victory a few years back and a great season with a coach they really don't like in a small market. The fans were too invested to walk away and they didn't. Us fools stuck around because he had bought us off with Superbowl XLIV. If think ANY multi-millionaire or billionaire is going to prioritize anything over money, you need to spend more time around them. Money is the only thing. The Saints became America's team in 2009 and the NFL rode that train all the way into the station. Now the Saints are about to be in decline. Drew Brees is retiring soon. Revenue from the Saints will drop. The NFL desperately needs the LA experiment to succeed and is happy to piss off a fan base about to be in decline anyway. If Sunday night was a screw job from Goodell, who can honestly say that he hasn't been doing it all along? |

Re: I didn't think it was possible
I had an uneasy feeling about the NFCCG not because of knowing how the Saints are, but knowing how the NFL is.
