Any Saints fans here?

Just wondering what effects this will have next season. Losing your head coach for a year has to have an impact.

Greg Williams out indefinitely in St Louis.

Wonder how much this goes on in the NFL.

Not just the head coach, but a lot of the assistants got suspensions (not a year though). Going to be a hard year for them.

I was an "Ain'ts" fan in the late 70's when I lived in Kenner, LA. (The year they finally went 0-13 and people put on paper sacks at the games) Had neighbors who worked for the team as frontoffice, equipmentr managers, etc. Have always followed them closely so it hurts to see their troubles. They will fall a long way in the next two years, but hopefulluy they will climb back up again.

Very sad tale. It's a shame that "professional" sports has fallen to this level. You have to wonder just how widespread this "un-official" practice might be.

[Oh Shoot]

I was always kinda partial to Saint Christopher. But the Pope sorta dumped him.

Well then you are one of the fans that I respect, I know several people in Louisianna who became fans only after they were in the NFC championship game. It pisses me off when so called Fans only support a team when it is on a winning streak or era.

I've gotten to the point where I'm so cynical I think everybody cheats, college through pros. PEDs, spying, bounties, whatever you can do to get an edge. It's unfortunate.

I'll beat that. Been a Saints fan since Day 1.

Anyway, this one's gonna hurt. They will miss the playoffs for sure. Hopefully they at least break .500.

I'd like to know how many other teams had this going on. I suspect it's more than just them.

Not a Saints fan but I was thinking the same thing.

I'll bet that there's some others.
