I can tell you there is no place more passionate than Louisiana about its team. What do they get from the NFL? The back of its hand. I spoke to retiring Saints tight end Benjamin Watson the same day he issued his impassioned where-is-Roger statement.
He echoed it to me, pretty much. The commissioner should say something. This is an NFL franchise. These are some of your most passionate fans. This is not a franchise on the fringe, or an expansion franchise. For him to sit there and not say anything, for him to be silent, is disheartening for the fans.
Not just for Saints fans but football fans. They want to know the game is not rigged. Plus, it is disrespectful to the men in both locker rooms, who deserve the truth. Instead, all we get is silence. From Labor Day to early February, a span of more than five months, the job is the second-most important in pro football administration, behind one person—Goodell.
Give it the proper consideration. Then convene a week-long post-draft power meeting in New York with the Competition Committee and other influential league pillars, like Belichick.

Then we destroyed the canonization of Peyton Manning. Don't discount that. Oh and the fact that Goddell is a power hungry ego maniac. MrEMann83 said:. I told a friend yesterday that I believe it has something to do with the move th L. Y else do we still not know what the "secret" meeting with Gotohell was about a few Weeks ago?

It's a long standing tradition that when you're on top people love to see you fall Now we are. Next up will be the Giants.

The historically dreadful officiating gaffe at the end of the NFC championship game has led to some calls, including by New Orleans Saints star wide receiver Michael Thomas, for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to intervene and overturn the result of the game to give the Saints another chance to right that wrong, beat the Los Angeles Rams and advance to the Super Bowl.
Thomas, the Saints and their fans remain angry and despondent about how events unfolded at the end of regulation in their overtime loss Sunday to the Rams at the Superdome. The game was tied at 20 in the final two minutes when Rams defender Nickell Robey-Coleman bowled over Saints wide receiver Tommylee Lewis before a pass by quarterback Drew Brees arrived.
But officials failed to call what amounted to a blatant pass interference penalty.
