That's a good read from a neutral source that's actually crunched some numbers for the masses. Thanks for posting!

That is an excellent point. And unlike Mary Jo White, a prosecutor who works for a firm with NFL connections, this really is a neutral source. As far as we know, neither the Saints nor the NFL paid them to compile the statistics. And, as far as we know, neither writer has any connection with the NFL or the Saints.
