BAFOONERY!

Well, its a dark day today in the world of the Saints. Drew is not signing the franchise tag and wanting to continue negotiations and King Roger "I think I'm awesome" Goodell suspended Coach for the entire year. And then there are the haters saying, "there go the Saints chances for an at home superbowl". The training season hasnt even started so I think it's time to chill on that. I hope that they appeal the entire year suspension, but I cant help but think that Payton is such a good dude that he'll want to take the punishment and full responsibility because he's the head honcho.

Personally, I protest Goodell's suspension of Payton for an entire year. I bet if we still had Gregg, Payton wouldn't have gotten as hard of a punishment, but clearly Goodell went to law school or has some sort of meta-understanding of Soloman's or Hammurabi's laws and feels justified in doling out sentences that he probably thought of while he was on the toilet, because honestly they're all shit. But Goodell felt that the Saints had to pay in some way, and so in addition to taking high draft picks, he takes our head coach for the year and asks for 500k. Where is that 500k going to go by the way? I hear about all of these fines, but where does the money go? If anyone knows please inform me because its a legit question.

Anyway - I've been pissed all day about this. I don't advocate people getting hurt in this aforementioned full contact game (see last post), but punish the right people. Punish the people who actually orchestrated it. Too often when things go to hell, people stand around after and look for people to blame. And instead of blaming the people who actually did it the most, people who were just in the proximity get punished, and its not fair. People start talking about other people who, "could have done something more" or, "in some way were responsible because they didn't do everything they could have" in the hindsight that we all know to be 20/20. How many of us can sit here without any doubt that in every situation we did everything we could have and everything we should have? How many of us have no regrets about anything we didn't do or something we thought we should have said?

If you think you're one of these people, you're an idiot.

Bless you boys, and GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!!
