not just no but hell no, he hates the city and the people as much, if not more, then he hated payton

it will be even worse now because at least payton would call out the BS when it got too bad

a new coach with no NFL clout will just bend over and ask for more

This is kinda why I want to see cSP coach somewhere else... to see if Rog's screwing follows him to his next gig.

Nope. Benson still owns the team. Just have to ride his tenure out.

What is Goodell's beef with Tom or Gayle Benson ? I thought Roger just had it in for Sean ?

They stood by Payton and made him one of the highest paid coaches after everything happened.

I think Goodell had it out for Brees too after Brees made these comments back in 2016.

quote:

According to Brees, if Goodell really wants to know why TV ratings are going down, all he has to do is look in the mirror. During an interview with ESPN.com this week, Brees blamed the league's ratings decline on a growing distrust players and fans feel with the league office.

"We feel like [the decline in TV ratings] is a direct result," Brees said of the mistrust.

Brees has been a vocal critic of the league office before. In August, the Saints quarterback said that no one "believes anything" the NFL says anymore. Earlier in 2016, Brees also said that players can't trust any investigation that's done by the league.

As one of Goodell's harshest critics, Brees elaborated on those comments this week.

"I know the players don't have any faith in the way that things are conducted within the front office in the NFL -- certainly when it comes to any type of investigation, when it comes to any type of commissioner discipline," Brees said. "It's really kind of a joke at this point, unfortunately. And it shouldn't be like that."

"I think it's just been a culmination of a lot of things over the last three years that unfortunately might have just turned people off or caused them to be less engaged," Brees said.

For Brees, the problem with the NFL is that there's too much secrecy and not enough communication between the league and the NFLPA.

"It's very much been a, 'We're gonna do things behind closed doors. And you just kind of believe what we tell you,'" Brees said. "And unfortunately that's jumped up and bit us, and I named all those cases [bountygate, Deflategate] where you certainly can't trust anything that's coming out of the league office at this point."
