I realized just how much tools these Saints fans really are. Let me explain, as long as they keep trolling the AJC, reading every article and responding they keep people on this website. This shows me that they are Falcons Fans. They seem to read a lot of AJC articles leaving comments every time they do. When that happens other people respond by pointing out their stupidity and so forth. As long as they keep trolling and posting, it keeps our writer’s jobs. So we should thank them for trolling. As long as they do, they keep readers coming back. Saints trollers=more Falcons articles.

You bad boys are probably just the incarnation of Mr. Ledbetter to encourage participation in his rag-tag discussion page.

Mr. hiram, never too late to repent, just get on your knees. (Sorry for that, I guess you are used to being on your knees, just a different context.)

Why is that saints fans continue to post on an AJC Falcons page? Hey Saints fans Karma is a b**tch and yeah you guys got all of the Katrina love but now since the covers have been pulled back on your classless organization now you want to cry about injustice. Your dumb organization was warned several times to stop but you didn’t.

The Jews say when a fish is out of water, laying on the bank it begins to ROT from the head to the tail.
NFLPA “Chief” is now crying foul, The question should be now to the “Chief” — “Did the NFL owners or anyone hold a (GUN) to your head and said sign this CBA or else”? So Chief did ALL that $MONEY$ cloud your vision, your team of lawyers — did you even make an attempt to read the fricking agreement? WOW — Unions “WHY” are you needed????

True F F, I agree. How is it the players have a union when they negotiate their contacts as individuals? I venture to say this could only be in professional sports.

Unions, probably once (100 years ago) a worthy entity/cause. It’s 2012 now if a personal service entity can’t offer employees secure alternative investments plus full health care for retirement when needed. Then forget-about-it ALL UNIONS are soon to be HISTORY!! I am probably wishing alittle there….

11:29 am – Also it’s the culture in today’s NFL environment — the NFL is made up of “individuals first” then “TEAM” — those teams that can be tagged as a “TEAM” are usually “WINNERS” — also today’s Head Coaches must have a great sense, physic effect to handle the cultural player make-up of their team if they want to be successful a “WINNER”. Just ask the Patriots head coach. But you are dead-on spot this contract protocol is in All Professional sports”!
