Very good point!! Clint just doesn't like us ... but we're cool:smokingco!
Hey!!
The Saints have been doing extremely well over the past few years, and Brees is a phenomenal QB.
I love seeing the hard hits in the NFL...It's a huge part of the game, and the Saints have a great defense.
The problem I have with any team in any sport is cheating and/or breaking the rules. It goes way beyond the role model for kids thing (which IS important whether you agree or not), becase IMHO it's about
respecting the game. Period.
When Sammy Sosa used a corked bat in a game, he cheated. Period. He disrespected baseball...The players, the fans, the game.
What the Saints did was equally disrespectful to the fans, to the players who play the game by the rules, and to NFL as a whole. This was not (as many are saying) a "routine" pat on the back for a hard hit, this was a gross, blatant, and coordinated effort to break established rules.
The worst part, is that this bounty had the potential to
injure and possibly end careers of other players.
Again, just my opinion, and no offense to Saints fans, but this is really a pathetic way to lead a team, and I think the penalties have been too soft.
