The Louisiana Legislature is asking the NFL to reconsider the penalties imposed on the New Orleans Saints because of its bounty program. The formal request received final legislative passage with a 28-1 Senate vote Monday.
quote:

In the resolution, lawmakers say there is "widespread public opinion throughout the state of Louisiana and beyond that the penalties imposed upon the Saints are too harsh and should be reconsidered."

This is kind of like the U.S. Justice Dept. going after Roger Clements for lying to Congress! But wait, isn't Congress full of Lyres?

I'm fine with this. A decent Saints team probably has a pretty decent financial impact. Not to mention provides a nice distraction to all murdering.

This drives me nuts! With all the problems of that state, they waste time on issues they have no control over. I can remember they always going out in left field on some issue which means nothing. What is it? When you enter the Capital you loose all concept of importance! Geez!!!

Are you kidding me. All the murders in New Orleans, the sad state of the education system, roadways and infrastructure in slow decay and they are writing to the NFL to change their minds on Bans. This is how my tax dollars are wasted. Can't wait to change my state of residence when i retire.

That should change the NFL's mind. Glad to see the state legislature is not wasting time while in session.
