After Further Review (AFR) commentary on Bountygate 2.0 (...every Saints fan needs to hear this segment)

Eman, we're not the first franchise the NFL FO and it's commissioner have had this paranoia or this unfounded need to use us as scapegoats for all the NFL's image problems or problems in American culture and society.

Remember the old Oakland Raiders of the 1970s and early 80s? They were the NFL's most hated, most feared and yet most successful teams of their era, yet they always felt they were screwed, refs watched them maybe a little bit more then their opponents and the NFL FO and Pete Roselle were hypocritical when he and Chuck Noll called them "a criminal element pervasive in the NFL" after comments made by Noll after a 1976 Steelers loss to Oakland. Those comments resulted in Noll and Rozelle being sued for defamation of character by former Raiders DB George Atkinson and during the trial, Atkinson's lawyer showed how hypocritical Noll and Rozelle's claims were because Noll's Steelers and other teams were doing the same things they accused Oakland of.

I'm a Saints fan for life but my God guys, if there's one team, one organization that has us beat or can legimately claim it's been consistently forked by the NFL FO, various commissioners for nearly 4 decades, it's the Raiders organization. Whether it's been while there in Oakland, L.A., Oakland again or maybe once more in Las Vegas at some point, they've experienced it.
