But some people throw a fit and make absolutely ridiculous claims.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion of course. I guess I can see logic and I understand emotions. But some people just make news for the Falcons board to look at and laugh.

I'm not loyal to any player or coach that hurts the team more than helps it. I want the Saints to win. But in the same regard, I also know that sometimes things happen and we lose.

When people completely come off the rails and post bulletin board material that's at best, laughable, its embarrassing.

I understand all of that. But there was really only one guy, that I've noticed, who went over the edge about it.

But I do think that that was a disgusting performance yesterday, and while I don't feel like the Saints suddenly stopped being contenders, I just hate when a team fails to even get up for a game. As a competitor, there's never been a situation where I competed for anything and didn't want to embarrass my opponent. I never feel like I need to, or can afford to take it easy on anyone. So it grinds my gears to hear people dismiss things like this when they happen like it's no big deal.

Because you can lose to anyone. But not showing up is inexcusable.
