In this The Advocate: Saints roundtable discussion, Advocate sportswriter Ted Lewis and contributors Gary Estwick, Guerry Smith and Brian Allee-Walsh answer three questions about the New Orleans Saints.

Thoughts on the Atlanta radio station's Steve Gleason rant?

TL: Back when I was a kid, there was a song we sung in Sunday School that started out, "Be careful little mouth what you say." Apparently the Mayhem in the AM crew didn't go to Sunday School. I'm as much of a fan of tasteless humor as the next guy, but not only did this cross the line, but it wasn't even funny -certainly not as much as some of the self-depreciating things Steve has said about his condition himself. Maybe now that the Mayhem in the AM crew is out of the streets looking for work they'll remember the verse we made up for the end of the song, "Be careful little feet where you step," although it's too late for that now.

GE: Here's an advantage we enjoy in the newspaper industry: The ability to stop - if just for a second - and think about what we're writing. No such opportunity live on the airwaves. That's not an excuse for their on-air antics. Somebody should have had the common sense to realize how hurtful their skit was and bowed out, right there on air. Would that have been easy? No. But if you can't handle the moral responsibility that comes with disseminating information to the public, find another gig.

"With Gronkowski's health issues, I think Graham would top a lot of people's lists as the best TE in football. He led the NFL in drops last year because of the hurt hand the Saints illegally concealed."

Pfft any moron with at least 1 eye could see jimmy had a hand. Concealed my butt it was right there on tv every week. Maybe they only watched the saints during the bye week.

On a real not I'm almost certain one of the coaches told us he had a hand too.
 
I think what they were referring to was that Graham was left off the injury report which is a violation of league rules. Every team tries to get away with it though.

Sean Payton has a history of not being upfront about injuries (remember Victor Butler is going to be OK). Of course, last season's concealment with Graham wasn't Payton's fault.
