Now, before you put words in my mouth, I didn't say that the Tebow trade was part of a larger conspiracy. I did say that Roger deliberately made the announcement to coincide with the trade announcement knowing that that was his best chance to get that story buried in the press.

Wow.

Because of people like you, I sometimes wish I wasn't a Saints fan.

Tebow has had quite the eventful "career".

1) Picked WAY earlier than he should have been.

2) Actually helps carry Denver team to second round of playoffs despite apparent lack of any normal QB related skills.

3) Immediately gets dumped for Peyton Manning.

4) Helps Roger Goodell cover up Bountygate.

No wonder he's such a polarizing player! Am I missing any other highlights?

Can't even root for my hometown team with the ignorance of the last year displayed by Saints fan


Yet let the behavior of others dictate who you root for?

and Saints fans are the idiots?

Do you take everything so literal on this board?

If so, get help for that

I remember the day very well and I said that right after it happened. It was the same day of the tornado outbreak--one of them hit my neighborhood.

All of the talk that week was that Goodell was coming down with the punishments that week or next and people were speculating about it. Then after I got back in my car after making sure my house was okay, word of the Tim Tebow trade came down. I got an alert on my phone. 15 minutes later when I got back to work word came out that the punishments came down.

And for the next week, until Tebow's first press conference in New York on Monday, he was THE STORY. Bountygate was put on the back burner. Everybody was too busy to look into the punishment and evidence. Roger said he had 50,000 pages of evidence and nobody bothered to ask about that. He said he warned them, and that was taken at face value. By the time, Tebowmania calmed down and everybody started talking about Bountygate, Roger controlled the narrative. People had already seen the legal and un-penalized hits on Favre and Warner over and over and over and over and decided they were guilty.

Now, before you put words in my mouth, I didn't say that the Tebow trade was part of a larger conspiracy. I did say that Roger deliberately made the announcement to coincide with the trade announcement knowing that that was his best chance to get that story buried in the press. That's Public Relations 101, not black helicopters. The same way he announced that he upheld the player suspensions at 5:00 Eastern on July 3.
