re: Problem wasn't the players...Changes needed to be made in management

It's not possible for you personal lives to be in complete disarray and your professional lives to be in order. Leaders of the team can't be stealing Xanax from the infirmary, cheating on their wives with cheerleaders, running bounty gate type schemes that are sure to get the team sanctioned, filmed in a drunken state in a Caribbean dance club while you should be getting your life in order. For Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis to say that no player is off limits suggests that these two guys are in a state of delusion and delirium. DREW BREES IS OFF LIMITS. DREW BREES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SURPRISED BY THE JIMMY GRAHAM TRADE! Loomis and Payton, and especially Payton, must sincerely believe that they are the reason that this team went from league laughing stock to Super Bowl champion. Sean Payton must believe that he is the reason that Saints fans no longer have to wear bags over their heads. Let me tell you a little story about a couple quarterbacks and their coaches Mr. Payton, you may have heard of them. John Elway, Tom Brady, and Steve Young. At the time these QBs were winning Super Bowls their respective coaches were labeled geniuses. What you don't hear is that Mike Shanahan, Bill Belichick, and Steve Mariucci were all fired because their teams sucked without Hall of Fame QBs. Oh, and if you are scratching your head about the Belichick reference then just pull out the tapes of his Cleveland Browns teams low lights when they had mediocre QB play. The truth is Drew Brees made Sean Payton...Sean Payton did not make Drew Brees. The truth is Drew Brees took the bags off the heads of Saints fan. Not Sean Payton. Get a grip Payton. You were right about one thing you said last year--the inward evaluation should start with you!
