Negative Saints Media Coverage is Nothing Personal

SBN: Canal Street Chronicles (Wallace Delery) — Mike Freeman, Pete Prisco, and Skip Bayless are all card-carrying members of the trash talkin' Saints hatin' club. In fact, they are just the tip of the iceberg of media members and outlets who have relentlessly piled on the New Orleans Saints since the bounty scandal broke in March. It is clearly obvious that the media has come after the Saints without remorse because they are jealous of...

Surprise! King basically attempts to put a number to Brees' value and does so by looking at contracts of the other two top quarterbacks in the league, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning , over the past six...

Mike Freeman Unfairly Rips Vilma and Saints a New One

SBN: Canal Street Chronicles (Dave Cariello) — I don't know what it is about CBS Sports writers but they just really don't seem to like the Saints or their fans. The latest post-Bountygate vitriolic rant against the Saints comes not from Pete Prisco, surprisingly, but rather from Mike Freeman this time. It's titled, 'Vilma's lawsuit against Goodell underscores Saints arrogance" and it's actually a couple of days old but I didn't find...

Random Observations: Joe Vitt Would Make Chuck Norris Proud

SBN: Canal Street Chronicles (Thomas Hukel) — Okay, I had to take a break from writing up Corey White's rookie profile but I should have that before the end of the weekend. That kid has moxie I tell ya. Someone else I'm really happy is associated with the Saints and seems like he's full of moxie is Mr. Joe "Check out my manstache" Vitt. When I found out Vitt was chosen as the interim head coach I thought, "Oh man, there goes the...
