"Forever you can equate the two and I think it's fair to equate the two," said linebacker Scott Shanle, now finishing his seventh season in New Orleans. "Never has a coach been suspended for an entire year and it's a pretty big deal when you look at the grand scheme of what a head coach does, especially a coach like coach Payton, who's had the success he's had."

No duh.
quote:

"How are we going to sell this to our public? How are we going to sell this to the season ticket holders, that this has all taken place? We're 5-7, we've disappointed a community, we've disappointed a region because of Mike Cerullo and Gregg Williams? How do we do this? How do we sell this?" Vitt said on Dec. 3, according to transcripts obtained by The Associated Press. "Sean is suspended for a year, Mickey Loomis for eight weeks? ... Who got hurt? Who was maimed? Look at the film. Who are we going to sell this to?"

Vitt is a damn quote machine. Love his passion.

They sold it really well unfortunately. The media failed the Saints big time.

Unless the NFL pays the Saints for the other half of the ticket cost, this hurts the Saints as well as the NFL.

The NFL couldn't lose, because it knew we would support our team, and in turn, we would be putting money back into the NFL who fricked our team.
