Falcons ticked with Saints for posing on their logo
Former Falcons defensive line coach Bill Johnson posing with some of the Saints on the Falcons logo after Monday Night's game.
The Falcons are ticked off about the Saints posing for pictures on the team’s logo.
Also, Saints defensive end Remi Ayodele told CBSSportsline’s Pete Prisco that he urinated on the Falcons’ logo.
The Saints were celebrating after beating the Falcons 17-14 and securing a spot in the playoffs.
After the game, the Falcons were unaware of the Saints celebration. The team didn’t practice on Tuesday or Wednesday.
However, one team official, did speak with NewOrleans.com’s Brian Allee-Walsh about the Saints’ celebration.
“Believe me, that didn’t go unnoticed, not just by our players and coaches but by our owner (Arthur Blank) and front office people,” the Falcons’ official said. “It did not go unnoticed and it will be remembered.”
Ironically, if the playoffs break a certain way, the Saints could return to the Georgia Dome for a divisional round playoff game.
In order for the Saints and Falcons to have a rematch at the Georgia Dome, the Falcons need to beat Carolina to secure the top seed. The Saints would then have to beat the NFC West winner in the wildcard round to get a return visit to the Georgia Dome.

Bayouboy5o4—–Awwww poor little Aints fan. Are you so pathetic that you need to wish death on your betters? Maybe you’ll get lucky and the government will give you a new tooth, no Saints fan has teeth like the rest of the free world, to gnaw on your bat guano!

SaintsNOT: Brees started playing with us for 2006, and we have been a major threat since 2000. look at your NFL history. In that span of time we had one bad season (2005), but we also have several titles:
New Orleans won division titles in the NFC West in 1991 and 2000. In 2002, the Saints moved to the newly created NFC South, and won division titles there in 2006 and 2009.

Big Bird, No, they can’t. They are not as good as they think they are. We beat them by 3, they beat us by 3. They lost bad to Cleveland and Arizona. Got beat by the Ravens and nearly lost to a team as bad as the Bengals. All of those teams the Falcons beat. They are not good enough to go all the way as a Wild Card on the road.

what makes things worse is that no one from new orleans ever said we were unappreciative of the assistance you guys gave…it just seems kinda “oxymoronic” that you guys were so eager to give a “helping” hand, only until our team wins….then we become hillbillies, thugs, etc, etc…ive seen personal comments about our city, sexuality, family, and friends all because WE WON???

Bayouboy5o4—–A major contender since 2000? You are joking right? No person could possibly be stupid enough to believe that finishing 4-12 and 8-8 is being a major contender! It’s just not possible even for an Aints fan. Maybe you missed some of those season because you forgot to poke holes in the bag over your head? I’m giving you the benefit of a doubt here though I probably shouldn’t since you’re an Aints fan.

Lets see, Atlanta’s QB is 24 on the rise as a superstar and Brees peaked last year has thrown a lot of interceptions, and has been injured this year at 31. The decline will soon start. Hear that whistle. It’s that Falcons train thats about to pass you.

Bayouboy5o4—-See, asking me what Atlanta’s record was after you claimed the Saints were “major contenders since 2000,” now that is weak!!!!! I think someone doesn’t approve of being made to look like the fool his is. In Atlanta we spell fool a bit differently, this time of year, we spell it Bayouboy5o4.

instead of this journalist writing about how his team could do better & what they could have done to WIN the game, he writes about the manner in which the DEFENDING SUPERBOWL CHAMPS celebrate after winning. and what makes things worse is the majority of their fans defend their team by throwing insults about one of THE WORST disasters in history…i used to have MAJOR respect for the city of atlanta, but im losing that with each & every comment being posted…

once again..the players took the picture..because it was a significant win. just as they did in Dallas. because they won on Thanksgiving..and this win at Atlanta..put them in the playoffs. Remi ..said that he posed..not pissed. My cousin’s husband works for ESPN and heard the same thing.

saintsbaby—–I feel bad for having to explain this to you but when businesses are looking to hold a big event they typically do it in the cheapest place they can find. In those instances New Orleans is a lot like the women there, cheap and easy. Or didn’t you know why they called the Big Sleazy the Big Easy? The other reason is because the people of Louisiana don’t have the education to clean their city. Have you ever noticed the smell of the city? I used a bathroom at a Shell station that was a little fresher and it hadn’t be cleaned!

To all who are commenting that “god sh*t on new orleans with katrina” and “maybe he will finish the job next time” and things like that, what you are saying is worse than anything the saints players did. They messed with a football field and your saying you hope people die and loose thier homes because of it. Who is less classy?

The Falcons are a very good team, but the Saints are somewhat better and will have the better chance in representing the NFC in the superbowl should they return to play. And although not certain, it does appear that the Patriots will represent the AFC in the superbowl. I know the Saints lost to the Ravens but trust me it will not happen in an important game such as the superbowl, if the Falcons should make it to the superbowl I am almost certain that if they meet up with the New England Patriots I am almost certain they will lose that game. My team is and always will be the San Francisco 49ers I have been with them since the early 80’s lose or win. If the Falcons make it to the superbowl and meet up with Tom Brady I am fairly certain they will be dissapointed, so dont say I didnt warn you, it will be another superbowl lost by the Falcons.
