Atlanta DOUCHE owner

He also wanted to make it clear that his executive search firm did not contact any coaches during the season, a nod to Smith and the respect he had for his former coach on the way out.

"(Smith) would say (the involvement of Korn/Ferry) was not (a distraction), but I'll also say to you the week before when CBS reported similar reports, and we beat the crap out of the Saints in New Orleans, I didn't hear a lot of reporting about was that a distraction, because obviously it wasn't," Blank said.

Agreed. I also don't remember hearing similar reports before our game with them.

It's a moot point. They had our number this year. And yet fired their coach, missed the playoffs in embarrassing fashion, and will regress as a new coach impliments his own system. Saints will right the ship and put them back in their place.

After the Panthers game, I heard that he is ready to propose a new rule that you get an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty if you return an interception for a touchdown.

Statement of fact. Not a hit. We let the falcons knock us from a division title at home and sweep us for the season.

We'll be back next year.

They were such a shitty team, but we were worse.

I have no problem with what he said in that presser. They dominated that last game, did enough in the first game, and showed they were number 2 in the division. Granted, number 2 in this division is just about worth a number 2.

Yea, I don't see where his logic was bad or why it was a dig, really. There was a question asked about the leaking of the search committee about 4 hours before the Panthers game. He replied that he did hire the firm but that it wasn't a distraction. That the same rumors of Mike Smith's demise were circling before the NO game in NO and ATL beat up the Saints in that game.

We both sucked this year. Don't think any fan or paid employee from either ATL or NO would disagree with that.

lol at your backhanded compliment. It's like losing to Mike Smith 2x in his farewell tour cut you deep.

They swept us for the first time in how long, and they still couldn't make the playoffs
