OFFICIAL PATRON SAINT OF THE LIVING

“It’s okay…meet our interim Saints head coach, ‘Jose Paytonez.’”

Some questions.

1. During the Gregg Williams era, the Saints must have gotten whistled for more— substantially more— personal fouls than every other team. Right? Right? No?

2. So what you’re saying is that if the Saints inflicted more than the usual number of injuries, the injuries were predominately inflicted by hits that didn’t violate the rules of the game?

3. So then either these player injuries are an inextricable part of football or the rulebook isn’t strict enough. Who writes the rulebook, again?

4. How much more lenient would the punishment be if the league wasn’t currently under scrutiny for burying data on player injury? Could it be that the Saints are being punished not for their own misdeeds but for the historical sins of the NFL itself?

5. Leading the witness, you say? Well then let’s crunch numbers! If Roman Harper got paid for every one of his knockouts and cartoffs during the Gregg Williams era according to the payouts the NFL alleges, he would have gotten paid $4,500 dollars. How does that compare to Harper’s salary during those three years? .06 percent? Wowzers.

6. So but then which was the more powerful incentive to knock Brett Favre out of the NFC championship game? Was it the handful of Jonathan Vilma’s chump change, or was it the shot at the ring?

this is the best thing i have ever seen in my entire life
