WhoDat 2013

Today the New Orleans Saints where busy preparing for the 2013 NFL season. The schedule promises to be challenging and exciting including a few intriguing matchups. Saints fan are excited about the sophomore efforts of all pro tight end Graham while keeping a watchful eye on the status of the Super Bowl MVP Drew Bree's and his contract situation. These negotiations are particularly strenuous because of the Saints Quarterback's recents record breaking seasons and the placing of the franchise tag on undoubtedly the leagues most prolific signal caller. Although the tag makes us certain of a performance in the Mercedes Superdome when the season begins it makes the contract negotiation more difficult because there's no need to rush through the process even as this seasons ring night approaches. This offseason has proven to one of the most difficult one in the history of the franchise. Following a surprise playoff upset by the San Francisco 49ers in California in last years playoffs the team was slapped with a slew of penalties from the commissioners office. The quarterback of the defense all pro linebacker Johnothan Vilma and head coach Sean Peyton face a season long suspension in connection with the off seasons bounty investigation. Saints players where accused of using the hit stick when instructed by the coaching staff to get key players off of the field and on the trainers table to ensure victories. My suggestion to this years team is that they should send players to the locker room without orders. It's time to free the hit stick and allow the game to flow as fairly as possible. The free hit stick campaign is when Saint's players use their play to injure the most opponents ever in the history of the NFL. Free of charge of course: no bonus needed. Hey defense let's try not to kill anyones career this time. The real tragedy of this situation are the loses of coach Payton and the captain of the defense Vilma who often makes the last second audible adjustments. There's no way our team can reproduce the efforts of last season with these key figures barred from competition. There no fairness in the league under Goddell because of the odvious expression of favoritism amounst league owners and players. When the spy gate scandal broke the Patriots where punished monetarily and the head coach didnt miss a game or a practice. This gave the New England franchise the opportunity to continue their success without missing and key ingredients. Leading to even more playoff appearances following the investigation. To me it seems like the Saints and their fans are being punished for playing football while the Pats received a slap on the wrist for unethical and unfair cheating. The Saints where more physical than their opponents and for that reason alone they where crowned as champions. In the tradition of defensive minded teams such as the Ravens and the Steelers; champions in their own right. If last years playoff loss devastated many hardcore fans this off season's scandal has made us worried about just how fair and honest the league officials are. Is there a group of league officials conspiring to keep Drew Bree's and the Saints from making any more history. First home team to play in the Superbowl and it's the black and gold. Think about the home field advantage. Coupled with the superhero numbers Drew Bree's and the recieving coup hung around the necks of opponents last season the New Orleans franchise is poised to conquer any challenge the NFL landscape can draw up.
