Well here we go. Monday April 9th and Roger Godell just proves what a bitch he really is. A lot of words come to mind to describe Godell. Hypocrite, bully, two-faced and asinine are a few off the top of my head but I won't go on with that. Instead, I will educate any of you that think this is actually a "football safety" move and not a show of power form a man that has hated a franchise since Hurricane Katrina (yes Katrina).
I'll start there. One of the worst natural disasters to ever to hit the United States occurs in New Orleans. The people that call New Orleans home have very little "bright side" to their days. One thing that is always a happy time is Saints Football in New Orleans. If people forget, I'll remind you. The saints were ORDERED to play an entire season away form their home state. All home games were played in the opposing teams buildings that year. Why is this significant? Well, I'll tell you why.
You see, there is is this college football team in New Orleans called LSU ( you might have heard of them). They have a nice stadium in Baton Rouge. The saints requested to play in at LSU(Tiger) stadium in hopes of keepin their home games in the great state of New Orleans, giving the people there something to hope for and go to weekly. They were denied. Roger Godel decided there were not enough seats there for the NFL to make money. So forget about the people of New Orleans we need the money.
Ever since then, the New Orleans Saints have done everything in there power to not follow the commissioners office rules. Have you ever had someone poke their finger at you, but hot touch you and it was so annoying that you flipped out? The Saints were the finger pointing at Roger Godells face but not touching him. From not following "Head Coach Protocall" during the Superbowl, to running up scores, to not giving interviews when requested, to not stopping the bounty program when asked, The Saints have been a Pain in Godells Butt.
Now he holds the power. Get caught with your hand in the cookie jar and you get punished. There is no denying that, not even from this guy but "going to your room for an entire year" is Nutz.... as is this UPHELD penalty. A guy gets caught cheating to win 2 Superbowl's and get a"slap" your a bad boy don't do it again, and this guy get caught covering up a program he didn't even run and he gets a year.
The worst part is Godell is punishing Sean Payton basically for lieing to him but is lieing to everyone else in return. "Sean Payton put players in danger and that is unacceptable and the reason for the lenght of punishment.' If you believe that, shot me an email... iIhave a bridge in Brooklyn I'm lookin to sell at a good price, sounds perfect for you.
2 or 3 years ago, a gentlemen came to The NFL and Mr. Godell with a product/idea that could help with the players concussions. It was a new helmet. This helmet was double shot absorbent. one on the outside and one on the inside of the helmet. This helmet was tested and proven to reduce concussion causing hits but about 75 to 80%. Sounds great right. The helmet was reject. Do you want to know the reason why. When they helmets hit, it did not make a loud enough "football sound". Definition, we can't sell this because crunching helmet sounds are part of our game and we don't want to lose that.
What a Joke. Any time since then this could have been revisited and put into place but never was. Now, we fine and suspend a coach and are going to try and fine and suspend players for an "intent" to injure even though the actual plays that occurred were never fined at the time and were deemed legal. So now you can get suspended and fined for thinking about hurting someone. Imagine if that worked in real life. I would be thrown in jail for thinking about killing some of the Yahoo's that come in to bar and act a fool.. just for thinking " i want to beat the crap out of him" (#justsayin)
In closing Godell, have your day in the sun. The Saints will be playing with a chip on there shoulder. It will be Tuna time this year. They Will announce Drew Brees's new 5 year 115mil contract and they are gonna play with something to prove. I hope that New Orleans and the great people of Mercedes Bens who own the superdome, Hire Sean Payton to come out every home game and start up a WHO DAT chant before every game including the Super Bowl. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Godell. #justsayin
