Sean Payton deserves to get fired. Mickey Loomis does,
too. New Orleans
Saints owner Tom Benson should strongly consider canning his head
coach and general manager for their stupidity and arrogance, if for nothing
else.
Having a bounty system that financially rewards players
for taking out the opposition is less offensive than the arrogance Loomis and
Payton showed in not putting an end to it after the league first investigated
the Saints in early 2010. They weren't scared or swayed by the thought of being
exposed doing something that violated NFL rules. They let the pay-for-big-plays
system remain. More…
Shacks’
Take: I suppose if you look at the Payton
and Loomis role in the scandal and don’t consider anything else they’ve done for
the team and the city this could be an acceptable response but it’s an extreme
reaction to say the least. After hurricane Katrina, Payton and Loomis brought
this team from the brink of departure and built a team, which helped heal an
entire city and region.
If any team executives deserve the benefit of the doubt
it’s these two. Yes they deserve harsh
fines and punishments, that’s the reality when you ignore player safety in this
politically correct climate but there’s no chance these two should lose their
jobs with the goodwill they’ve built in the New Orleans region.
