This is absolutely ludicrous. Do they just think people will just forget about this? Don't they know the longer they take to offer a resolution, the more this will fester and burn?

Second largest TV market is in the big game- just as planned. It’s over.

You presume a honest response. It is quite the challenge to talk oneself out of a behavior.

The pressure needs to stay on to prevent pivoting to the Super Bowl itself.

Prodding of national media needs to continue with Saints organization leading the way.

Need another letter tomorrow if no response.

They're not going to change the result or replay the final two minutes so would anything they say even matter?

The officials and the league shite the bed. The Saints got fricked. Everyone knows it. But it's done.

They don’t know what to say. It’s obvious.

Because they’re a criminal organization.

This is the same “league” that pats themselves on the back for an entire month while promoting breast cancer awareness, yet only donates less than 10% of the proceeds of pink merchandise sold to the actual cause. Think about that. They use something as terrible as cancer to profit from.

fricking thieves

Take one if their refs hostage, and livestream his torture. Red room him for bitcoin.

Only rational way to deal with this.

Only way to get a response is to not let this die down in the national media.

Call into those radio shows & continually bring it up. Don’t let the media off the hook.

Several charities donate 10% or less to the causes the fundraise for, disgusting and disappointing, but true, look it up.

The remaining money is then divided up by the company that makes the merchandise (37.5%) and the company that sells the merchandise (50.0%), which is often the NFL and the individual teams.

Then consider that only 71.2% of money the ACS receives goes towards research and cancer programs. After everyone has taken their cut, only 8.01% of money spent on pink NFL merchandise is actually going towards cancer research

Can’t remember which show this morning but someone brought up if it was Al Davis, Jerry Jones or Robert Kraft , would the league remain this silent?

The NFL has a PR firm handling the situation. The spin doctors are weaving the narrative first and the PR firm is constantly updating the strategy.

They will officially respond when the time is right.

They also needed the Saints owner to respond first as a building block to a potential carrot offering of limited video reviews of non calls.

It's hard for average Saints fans to take on a multi million dollar PR firm.

Yeah frick the NFL. Bunch of heartless mother frickers. I know it sounds like a joke but I have heard Vince McMahon plans to start a football league in 2020. I know he has tried it before but I just hope that this time, some way somehow he puts a huge dent in the market share and hurts the NFL's bottom line.

I feel like an episode of Always Sunny says 48 hours is needed to respond.
