He's missed 4 games in 3 seasons, people.

Looks excellent. :thumbup: Put me in the camp that says you should leave the layout the way it is...very clean, simple and easy to find everything.

:lmao: Only an 18% flip for Republicans and Republicans are called the racist, partisan hacks who flip flop on their arguments to fall in line with the party talking points.

They aren't doing it to look into a single team, they're doing it to see if it's a league-wide problem like they did with PEDs and MLB.

January 24, 2010 the New Orleans Saints squeezed and pulled and hurt Favre's knee. [/rainman]

Your case about a single blown call involving the only one game and only one player (golden boy Favre) as evidence that the Saints were officiated any differently than any other team is incredibly thin.It amazes me that as big a deal as this is and as many reporters are chasing down stories...

That's football. That's why teams hide injuries to QBs if they can. You think that anything that the players did on the field was unique to the Saints??? Drop the sanctimony. If you want a sport with morals and ethics, watch cricket. The hypocrisy of this thing is amazing. If you don't...

Snitches get sutures?

That's very selective use of the penalty stats. Do you know how many "roughing the passer" penalties it took to rank 3rd in 2009? 3 for 47 yards. There was a more thorough analysis done that showed they were 8th over the entire period in related penalties.

You're missing the point. If they played "outside the rules", they were penalized according to the NFLs rules by the refs on the field. So how is it a huge "competitive advantage" when the on-field play is monitored by the refs and penalties issued where appropriate???Over that entire period...

I'm still wondering why we're putting Shockey up on some moral pedestal when he didn't blow the whistle while he was with the Saints--it was only after he went to a competing team. It's funny that his morals didn't bother him while he was winning a Superbowl with the Saints.

How so??? Weren't there a bunch of refs on the field to monitor the play???

If he'd reported it while he was with the Saints, then you can argue it was a moral or ethical stand. Instead he waits until he goes to a division rival--making it something much different.

Conveniently it was after he left.

Donte Stallworth got a 1 year suspension for manslaughter. :rolleyes:

Meh. Saints are usually drafting at the end of each round anyway. :shrug:

There's two issues here. One is the legal/NFL rule issue that this clearly violates. The second is the "competitive advantage" angle that many in this thread are arguing. I'd argue that unless you can show me that the Saints committed materially more personal foul type penalties (they were...

How does this undermine the "competitive balance" of the league? Aren't there a bunch of guys in stripped shirts who are supposed to uniformly enforce the rules on the field???
