All players will not be suspended at the same time. The league proved this with the star caps. they planned to suspend Grant 4 games, then Smith 4 games, but not at the same time.

The league will probably suspend 2 or 3 at a time, if they even get suspended. Most likely, they will get heavy fines. Maybe a couple suspensions for the leaders of the defense.

Probably a third to half those 22 aren't even Saints players.

i expect no less from you...the further away from the Superdome, the more your mind gets corrupted...next, you will have LSU trucknutz hanging from your Land Rover

there is still a season to be played and no matter what your neighbor with the same floor-plan(mirrored) says, this **** is not over

so crawl back into your northshore retreat and have some white wine with the couple down the road who you don't even like

First, take that lsu stuff and cram it in your cake hole.

Second, while your attempted indictment of the northshore is mostly accurate, you don't know where I live and how different the styles of houses are here. So, piffle. You know not of what you speak. And I'm sure your 60's ranch house in Metairie is architecturally unique from all the other houses near W. Metairie, isn't it.

Third, I don't socialize. You know better than that.

Besides, these fun personal attacks have nothing to do with the matter at hand. What's happening here is that people have different ways of dealing with adversity. Some of you like to pretend it's not that bad in order to lessen the pain. But that's lying to yourself, and it will only lead to more pain further down the line.

Just be a man and stop trying to console yourself with over the top optimism. If it turns out that the saints end up competing, you can be pleasantly surprised.

You can still support this team if you expect them to suck. I did it for many years. You hope for the best but realize it's longshot hoping. Being realistic doesn't make you disloyal - the opposite is true.

Even when you're consistently better than everyone else, it's very hard to win in the nfl. Sean Payton matters. How can you people be so obtuse?

What ****** me off the most is that Goodell is basically punishing the fans here. Who's really affected by losing draft picks? Suspending Payton? That's punishing us. If he wanted to just hurt Payton he would have just fined the bejeesus out of him. He's targeting the fans. He's intentionally attacking our ability to compete.

He is punishing the fans, but dude took 8 million dollars from Sean Payton.

That's severe punishment.

I get that. But when he suspended him as well, that hurts the fans. The fine would have been enough if he just wanted to get Payton.

 

[The Mongoose]

8 million bucks. Could you imagine? So dude just makes a random, unprecedented decision, and you're out 8 million bucks?

That's insane.

That's insane.

And you have really no effective recourse. I'd be looking to sue the pants off the NFL personally.

i didn't say that not having Payton was a major blow, now did i??

i just feel that he has built a staff with good pieces in place that should be able to handle this situation....Carmichael called plays for half of the season last year....Spagnoulouolouo can run the defense...and assuming that Brees works out a deal, we have one of the best QBs in the NFL

it doesn't have to be doom and gloom, brah...

 

[The Mongoose]

It's not doom. Maybe some gloom. It's more of not being a sucker.

I will, of course, be rooting for miracles to happen. But this is an unprecedented screw job, and it's easily worth about 6 wins.

 

[antipop]

good to see you got that old saints fan attitude back

 

[Flying Hellfish]

How can you people be so obtuse?

What?
