And you're right, the depth would be interesting and I hope it's not worse than this stupid, bone-headed move already. I just don't get the concept or what went through Bensel's mind when he said, "Hmmmmm. . .I think it's a good idea to help them with pr about child molestation." Jesus. |

It gets lively in here, but far less nasty, than where you come from. Some really cool folks here; and the Houston bunch meets in real life. |

Re: Associated Press: NFL’s Saints fight to shield emails in Catholic abuse crisis
Again, the source is the Associated Press.
As a former news director, I grew up ripping and reading these guys teletypes, until I began to notice a pattern of strong bias. Understand this. THEY-are- FULL- of SH*t. I don't even think they do any background on their writers anymore. Think my Enquirer reference was funny? Does anyone remember The Legend of Boggy Creek? A Sasquatch story set in Fouke, AR? Its original source: The Associated Press. Put your pitchforks down and breathe, kids. |

Jay's post is right on, if they offered their advice in being transparent - no problem. Anything else, then that/those idiot(s) have not only exposed the team, but would have committed a reprehensible behavior... |

If the Saints did so much as hint they would help these child molesters the team should be dissolved period.

From my understanding the church has been completely cooperative with the investigations. Y'all are buying into the ridiculous hype of the Associated Press trying to create a story.![]()
Try educating yourself before jumping to all kinds of false conclusions. This is what I HATE about the so-called media today. |

There would be no reason to heavily penalize or get rid of the Saints or Pels, in the less than 0.1% chance it came to that. |
