But, as Golic so aptly put it this morning, people just can't (read: won't) get past those loaded words and their negative connotations. Bounty! BOUNTY!!! Hence the short-term mass hysteria. And of course, that's precisely what Roger Goodell wants, which is why he made sure to point out that this whole thing is "particularly troubling" and framed it as "intentionally causing injury" to opponents. Because it suits his "player safety" agenda. Whipping people into a frenzy over this is precisely what he was going for.

Maybe it wasn't necessary. We'll never know. And that's just fine by me. All I know is that there's no way in hell I'd trade February 7, 2010 just for the sake of avoiding the shitstorm that's currently rolling in. We're Saints fans, for crying out loud. We sleep through shitstorms. We've been doing it all our lives. At least there was something in it for us this time.

Meantime, all the "evidence" on the field pretty much exonerates the Saints insofar as any kind of organized intent to "play dirty" and to injure opponents. The Saints' defense didn't exactly accumulate an inordinate number of penalties during the Gregg Williams era, personal fouls or otherwise. Nor have an inordinate number of opponents been "knocked out" or "carted off" during the last three seasons.

But it ought to do our hearts good that even Tom Benson realizes that it's bad business to cut off your nose to spite your face. That 62-34 in the regular season, four playoff appearances and a 5-3 playoff record in six years, two NFC Championship games and a motherfricking Lombardi kinda trump all this bullshite by juuuuuust a little.
This about sums it up for me..
