W hat is a better representation of the trashiness of New Orleans than the dirty play of the New Orleans Saints? Seriously, the Saints game plan from the smug Sean Payton was to injure Favre—obviously, the sucky Saints defense wasn’t going to stop Favre legitimately. (I wonder how well the New Orleans Saints will do against outstanding quarterback Peyton Manning? My guess is not so good since there are fewer chances to hit Colts quarterback Manning than Vikings quarterback Favre.)
The proof of just how dirty the Saints played was the personal foul penalties and just plain cheap shots on legendary quarterback Brett Favre. There is no place in the NFL for this type of behavior. It is a shame that the Super Bowl will see a team so unworthy of being there.
To call New Orleans Sodom in the South would be to insult Sodom. The city embraces the Saints because the Saints are a true reflection of everything wrong with New Orleans. The only cheap trick not used by the Saints was the chop block. But there is always time to perfect that during the by-week. The Saints will probably need that weapon to have a shot against the Colts.
You seriously must not have a life either Mr. “So What.” No wonder you’re acting like you’re premenopausal. You are not the Saints mother. Chill out. It will be okay. They will survive their ass whipping from the colts. It will all be okay dude. No need to get so defensive of your team. The super bowl is still a few weeks away. LMFAO.
To 13SoWhat–that would be “Pansy”…And no one ever said there should be no pain in the NFL. I just said some of these hits appeared dirty to me and that this game was not called right and most of the bad calling to me favored the Saints big time.
Intentions count—if a player is intentionally trying to take out a player etc. that changes it—Yeah it is a rough sport and rules maybe get broken in the heat of the game and I accept that, but if rules do not apply to both sides, then what is the point to playing at all???
In what quarter/time is the hit on Brees you are referring to so I can take a look…it is about being FAIR. Brees had 1 sack and at 6 hits at the last count I could see–Favre had at least 15 hits and none were sacks…(as noted, 2 of McCray’s were the most egregious in my opinion)
Also, other ref calls were questionable to me–what about the TD being called when his knee was down before the goal line etc. etc.??
Something just seems not right about the refereeing of this game. Yeah I am a Favre fan but I also also really just don’t like injustice.
To: Favre On the Ground Re: Jared Allen—Schaub 2008 game– The video you note is a bit unclear and I would need to see better angles in order to better judge, but no player should get clean away with illegal force against a quarterback. If there are rules, then they should apply to ALL to be fair. Farve played for the Jets that year…
According to NFL-AP report I read, Jared said official was right there and did not call it and he slipped, but he also noted that he apologized to Schaub after the game and meant no ill will. Hmmm…didn’t look to me like McCray was planning on apologizing…so I am guessing he didn’t.
JA also reportedly got penalized by the NFL after the game with a $50,000 fine. And if there is any question, maybe he is much more careful as there are no complaints against him that I am aware of in this play-off game.
What is coming for McCray and company with all the late, roughing, below the knee hits to penalize them??? Something I hope –to restore my faith in the game…
McCray and company should get some penalties so that they don’t arrogantly think they can do this to Peyton Manning.
OK–I am a former Packer fan that became a Brett Favre fan after Packer management did what was in my opinion dishonorable treatment of Brett. I know how many in the main media put a spin on it but I believe Favre. He just wanted to play the game he loves, but the fact that he got this far with a brand new team for him in 2009 proves he could still play at a phenomenal level (lots of other teams and quarterbacks were after all NOT this far in the play-offs…).
He beat the Packers twice this year–once in their home field, which had to be tough for him, being that the antics of management divided Packer nation. Yeah we former Packer fans do exist (I may become a Packer fan again IF management is fired). I don’t know of anything involving A. Rodgers or the Packer players…just the management.
Well…GO PEYTON!!!…I will be watching to see if the Saints try to do this to Peyton. Next to Farve, my favorite quarterbacks are the Manning brothers.
GO PEYTON/COLTS WIN!!!!!!!
Hearing Dan Reeves on the Atlanta show, he went so far as to say that he thought NO got unfairly tagged on some hits. Aikman thought the call on Casillas (IIRC) wrapping up Favre and slamming him down was bogus – since he was wrapped around Favre’s torso, and couldn’t tell if he’d thrown it, and didn’t hear a whistle. But I guess you guys know better.
Who can we call at the NFL? We should bombard them with calls, this is di
despicable, those hits were blatant. That 25th ranked defense was so outclassed by Favre, they went headhunting as their only ‘recourse’. We go to sports for enjoyment, fairplay , escape etc., and what do we get in a case like this? More selfish ‘Wall Street’ mentality from degenerates like the Saints. Call the NFL and pass the word. Favre and Warner are worth more to the league than dirty defensive coordinator who teach their players to headhunt.
PUT UR PINK STARTER JERSEY ON AND ROOT FOR DA COLTS —AND IT IS BETTAH AND I AINT NEVAH BEEN NUTHIN BUT A WINNAH – U STUPID IGNORANT SLUT…….GEAUX SAINTS PULL THE UPSET/////////////////
THE FAGS THINK IT IS FLAG FOOTBALL
PS to Farve OnThe Ground for the comment “Until Farve himself says that the saints were playing dirty then you all need to go back to breast feeding.â€â€¦
For all the nasty comments about Favre being all egotistical etc., I have watched years and years of after-game comments by Favre—win and lose–and from what I saw, he ALWAYS took the lion’s share of the blame…even noting in this game he probably should have ran it etc.—but didn’t know how far he could have gotten etc. (well no doubt with the kinds of hits taken all night—I couldn’t believe he was still giving it a go–most would be on their way to the hospital… He EARNS that Ironman name…).
And, when the team won, he noted the team or certain other outstanding players in a win, not himself…. As for interceptions etc., many times he needed to do some sort of hail Mary in the last few seconds of the game when playing for the Packers—it was purely phenomenal and amazing when it connected—it shouldn’t have had to be so much on Favre to carry a game so much.
And, besides that, Favre and his wife Deanna have done many things for kids like Make a Wish etc. and various charities. WI and Green Bay owed him to treat him better than T. Thompson in management did. Anyway, all of THAT is why I became a Favre fan first. And no, I am not President of the Brett Favre fan club, as I don’t have the time—but I just felt that Saints-Vikings game had some very bad hits and unjust ref calls.
About Aikman: He seems to me to have some sort of thing making him less than objective about Favre—whatever… Joe Buck seemed to be questioning that McCray low hit… And so does this Senior Wirter from CBS Sports.com: http://www.cbssports.com/print/nfl/story/12837591/low-moment-missed-call-on-favre-hit-inexcusable
Who Dat Hammmah…you need to grow the hell up. If you were any kind of a grown up, you would realize that if you expect people to respect your opinion then you need to accept others’ opinions as well. Apparently you’re not a grown up with all that slang talk. If you don’t like people being critical of you and your opinion then stop being so damn critical of what other people think. You are not God. You opinion does NOT mean it is the right one. Nobody is 100% correct about anything. In the meantime, stop spending so much time on here and go buy a dictionary and learn English.
Totally agree! Obviously the Saints didn’t care about playing good football and only cared about getting to the Super Bowl and attacking Favre (especially in the legs). I’m so excited for the Colts to kick their butt. The Saints are about as dirty as the streets in New Orleans. I hope you have a fun ride home when you lose.
I AM A god. THIS IS THE INTERNET SO INTERNET ALBAMA ENGLISH IS MOST APPROPRIATE – U STUPID IGNORANT GAY SLUT…THE SAINTS DID NOT PLAY DIRTY – NOT EVEN DEBATABLE…U WILL COME TO THAT CONCLUSION AND U WILL LIKE IT STARTING NOW.
How about you come to the conclusion that most americans find the saints a dirty team, ahd YOU WILL COME TO THAT CONSLUSION AND U WILL LIKE IT…STARTING NOW!!!! You probably do consider yourself a god. One of those people who thinks they are always right. One who will disagree just to start shit. You aren’t even man enough to accept someone’s else’s opinion. If you can’t be a man, go watch a junior varsity game at the local high school this fall.
BOTTOM LINE….THE COLTS ARE GONNA WIPE THE FIELD WITH THAT SO CALLED FOOTBALL TEAM CALLED THE SAINTS. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHO IS ON HERE WITH THEIR WHINING THEN. RUN BREES RUN!!!!!
THE VIKES HIT THE SAINTS QB 2 – THE SAINTS JUST DID IT A HELLUVA LOT BETTAH
I WILL – NO SHAME IN LOSING TO PEYTON MANNING U STUPID IGNORANT SLUT….GUARANTEE THE COLTS WILL NOT BEAT THE SPREAD
ONLY GAYS AND LIBERALS SAY SAINTS PLAYED DIRTY…….ROLL TIDE ROLL AND GEAUX SAINTS BEAT THE SPREAD
MANNING IS GOING TO SAY “NO MASS” AFTER THIS ONE.
The Saints set out to take Brett out at any cost. They played dirty and got away with it. The refs sucked. I am SO ready to see the Colts take the Saints OUT on Feb 7th!!!
You say that only Gays and Liberals would call the Saints dirty? Well, I’m about as conservative as they get and I’m not a lesbian. Last week CBS said the ratings for the Superbowl game will be low unless the Vikings and Colts were playing one another. However, I’m thinking after last week’s shenanigans from the Saints- WE ARE ALL GOING TO WATCH SOME DIRTY SAINTS LOSE!
The Saints did hit Bret Farve and hit him often. It’s called STRATEGY. The fact is the Saints were called for late hits only twice. Don’t be upset with the Saints, be upset with the Vikings offensive linemen for allowing the Saints to get that close to Farve in the first place. Furthermore, it’s apparent that you have a short memory because this is the same exact STRATEGY the Vikings used to beat Dallas; the Saints just did it better. If Farve is too old to take hits, he should keep his rickety body in Mississippi and leave the tough stuff to real men.
The fact is you’re upset because while Mobile celebrates Mardi Gras, they will NEVER do it as good as New Orleans nor have they ever been nationally recognized for Mardi Gras. As a New Orleans native I lived in Fairhope and it was the worst 2 years of my life. There was absolutely NOTHING to do in that dried up god forsaken hell hole. Alabama is NOT New Orleans and will never be regarded with the admiration that New Orleans is so just freakin’ get over it. Oh, and get a chin implant and do something with that bowl haircut. All you Alabama Red Necks look alike and it’s not a coincidence.
GAYS LIBERALS AND SOME WOMEN WOULD SAY SAINTS PLAYED DIRTY…VIKES HIT BREES TOO W/O SACKING HIM – WAS THAT DIRTY – NO – ITS FOOTBALL U STUPID IGNORANT SLUT….THE SAINTS WILL PROBABLY LOSE TO MANNING AND COLTS THEY R 3.5 FAVES NOW UP TO 5.5 AND RISING….BUT THAT WON’T CHG SAINTS – NFC CHAMPS………………..
I’m so proud to be from MN! Live in a clean state and breathe clean air
wow, it is so overwhelmingly obvious that the majority of people think the saint’s played dirty. Experts or not, you can argue with majority. Most of us are dudes that played football, I made it to D1 college and im sure others here have as well. Favre got the shit rocked out of him, yeah his line sucked, but seriously, if you don’t think there were some missed calls then you need your eyes checked. I was a big saints fan last week, but after being outplayed and resorting to this… I hope this team gets eaten alive by the colts. The Vikings destroyed the saints, but just turned over the ball at really bad times. You can’t blame Favre for the loss, if anything blame A.P.
K-Ztylez – I’m not aware of any EXPERT that stated the Saint’s played dirty. As a matter of fact, Trent Dilfer discussed the game with several other commentators and they all agreed the Saints used good STRATEGY. Was it ok for the Vikings to hit Romo as much as they did the week before? After all, it’s what allowed the Vikings to win against Dallas. The difference…. Romo is young and can take a hit; Bret is too old!!!
And your idiotic comment that they turned the ball over at “bad times” DUH any time you turn the ball over is a bad time. Systematically throughout the playoffs the team that turned the ball over the most lost. The Vikings lost this game on their own.
I love it. This is how stupid some Alabama fans are. They are always talking about playing physical and tough and making teams hurt. Like they did against LSU. But when you dont want your old disloyal choke artist of a quarterback to lose you call the hits being late and rough. I dont know what game you were watching buddy, but favre had just let go of the ball everytime when they did hit him after the ball was thrown. No way you could have stopped. Isnt that what football is about trying to bring pressure and make hits. Do you want two hand touch. Favre is disloyal and a diva with the things he does every summer. We dont want your support in New orleans or your input on the saints. Go pull for the Falcons or Jaguars because you Bama fans started jumping on the bandwagon too heavily. The Saints are not your team they are in the great state of Louisiana and u all will never experience a moment like Sunday night!
By the way this is the ninthe str8 year LSU has had one or more players in the superbowl. ha
Tigahbait and F. Sanchez -
Spot on.
K-Ztyler -
Just because you believe something doesn’t make it true. You can believe the Saints played dirty all you want (with or without the majority agreeing) and it doesn’t make it so. Also, how can you say “most of us are dudes that played football” an think you are accurate. How do you know this information? I think you simply guessed.
To the rest -
Tigahbait said it best when he said “favre had just let go of the ball everytime when they did hit him after the ball was thrown. No way you could have stopped”. Apparently the Saints defense was supposed to take it easy on Favre because of his age? As the cliche goes, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Meaning, if Favre can’t take a hit (or 12) then he shouldn’t play the game. He might have a great arm, but he sure doesn’t possess the speed to get out of the way.
“The Vikings destroyed the saints, but just turned over the ball at really bad times.”
Yeah, because there were so many other good times to turn the ball over. They could’ve picked 5 other times during the game and it would’ve made no impact. Might’ve even helped.
You really know your football.
Call NFL @212 450 2000, and make a complaint about those late, viciuos hits. the leagues 25th ranked defense can’t win any other way than to game plan knocking QBs out of games. NFL will take call, ask for officiating and pass on this # to other sites
Larry –
Just one question: Who determines if a hit is late or vicious? You?
All the people complaining about it are NOT officials in the NFL. It was late/vicious based on your definition. But, call the NFL and let them know your OPINION if you want. It may or may not change anything.
Perhaps Alabama should put it’s own NFL team up against the Saints and see who does what….oh, snap! Alabama doesn’t have an NFL team. WHO DAT?
You are saying we are dirty right? How about you check this video out and see how dirty Brett Favre is…….
If you think the Saints played dirty and the officials didn’t make the calls, call the NFL 212 450 2000. they’ve gotten alot of calls, pass the number on.. Bobby McCray, what a coward, Favre was eatin that 25th ranked defense up. I bet Bobby resorted to fighting alot when he was younger
I guess New Orleans are still getting gifts from katrina, they played dirty anyone who has been around football know’s they got away with alot of questionable calls not to mention a horrible pass interference call to put them in field goal range, just more charity for people who may not deserve it imo
Saints dirty play won’t help them against manning
You are all just a bunch of sore losing whiny faggots…. Nobody complained when the Vikings were doing it to Romo the week before? And you wish the mighty purple defense could have done the same to Brees… but they couldn’t so read’em & weep… but keep the weeping quiet and to yourself… BLACK & GOLD SUPERBOWL BITCHES !!!
The sorry little faggot ass bitch that wrote this piece of trash didn’t even have the guts to identify themselves… YOU ARE A FUCKING COWARD !
110% true! I could kill those a-holes – Dirty losers should NOT be in the Superbowl. I pray they lose – or better yet another hurricane blows up their asses!
Saints are dirty players. They were not the better team when they played Minnesota, got their ass kicked by the Cowboys, and just suck tubesteak in general. Hated seeing the Colts lose to such a bunch of thugs last nite, but oh well, I predict the S’ain’ts to fall back into obscurity shortly. Only the loser kids will wear their gear like it was when I was in school.
THE BEST TEAM WON THE SUPER BOWL
NOW ALL YOU IDIOTS CAN GO SCREW YOURSELVES.
BY THE WAY, DO US A FAVOR, STAY OUT OF OUR CITY; WE DON’T NEED YOUR NEGATIVITY HERE.
WHO DAT WHO DAT WHO DAT WHO DAT WHO DAT
The saints won. So now we keep hearing about how N.O. is so happy, they were down after Katrina, but now the Saints win has given them hope.
Huh? The party lasts one, two, three days. Then what? N.O. is still a toilet, still a crime-ridden, welfare-driven sink hole. If it wasn’t heavily subsidized by tax dollars from other states it would dry up and blow away. Dumbass incompetent fool for a Mayor, thoroughly corrupt politics. A cesspool of corruption, incompetence, and stupidity.
But your team won the Super Bowl. Oh goody. That changes everything!
lmmfao hey are you still wondering how well the saints will do against the outstanding qb peyton manning????? new Orleans saints 2010 superbowl champions
anybody who thinks the saints defense didnt play dirty is an idiot!!!!!!
the refs are idiots or just blind!!!
the guys not overturning the three bad calls in overtime, now they would have to be the most stupid SOBS on this planet!!! still not an excuse for the vikes giving the game to the saints!!! and anyone could have beat the colts in the superbowl, they sucked. ANY GIVEN SUNDAY!!!!
