Saints Saints Saints.....

I know its not a game day, but with so much going on about the Saints something needs to be said.

First of all, I've long been an advocate of not hurting anyone during the game. I still am. But I also am semi-literate when it comes to the subject of Physics and realize that its a full contact sport and people are bound to get some dings here and there. We all know that Im referencing the "bounty" program involving Gregg Williams and the Saints (and every other team he worked for, aaaaand pretty much every team in the league for that matter). Of course there are players you would rather tackle than others because to neutralize their talent would benefit your team. No one is going to waste time trying to figure out the favored routes of a third stringer and follow his ass around the field "just in case". How many teams openly came out and said that their plan was to "stop" Drew Brees? And how many of those players got "performance bonuses" or bonuses in their contract if they won the game? Doesn't that technically qualify as a bounty program? Surely no one thought that these other teams were planning on stopping Breesus with some sort of riddle, trickery, or voodoo doll. They wanted to knock his ass out! That's blatant bounty program...ming. I'm aware that objectors are going to say, "Oh well, there was an additional bonus for them getting carted or helped off the field". How else do you stop someone in a full contact sport? You MAKE FULL CONTACT.

I love how after this came out all cameras focused on Brett Farve in his Wrangler jeans driving around in his muddy Jeep. The funniest part of that was that Farve was like, oh Im so glad the truth came out and stuff but whatevs, its no biggie (complete paraphrase but thats what I imagine he'd sound like). I want to be like, hey Farve were you as happy about the truth coming out when you were sending pictures of your johnson to that 20 year old? Double sided coin my good man.... and the reason you got injured wasn't necessarily because there was a "bounty" on you. It was because you're like 45 playing with a bunch of 23 year olds. Now thats just physics. And a little math.

Recent Losses....
Meachem is going to San Diego. Im sad about this because Meachem was one of my favorites. I was trying to look at trade agreements but Meachem isnt on there...perhaps theres still hope? Probably not. We've got Colston for another 5 years and thats great because he's amazing. I hope we get everything sorted out with Breesus because it would be hard to be confident in my fanship of the Saints if we let him go. He hardly seems like an unreasonable man and has clearly stated that he wants to make New Orleans his home. I'm sure the Benson family will do what needs to be done to ensure that Breesus is a Saint for life.

Thats pretty much all I have to say about the Saints at this point, hopefully Goodell isn't too high up on his horse to see that football is a contact sport, and while Gregg engaged in some un-kosher practices, the Saints let him leave and shouldn't pay the price for him being an idiot.
