re: Was Spags being fired completely based on the worst defense in history...

When I wrote a few months ago that Spags had to go, I got jumped on like a kid with a pair of Lebron shoes. Payton saw what everyone else saw: A defense that didn't improve from start to finish. A defense that looked confused in executing basic skills. A defense that looked as unprepared as a crackhead taking a mensa test; these are the reasons the man got his walking papers.

Saints fans need to be thankful that Payton had the gonads to step in and put the dog to sleep in quick fashion.
