trez Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I can't believe the league spun this as a Saints home game. That poor team got screwed, and I'm furious that the Giants got an extra home game. I saw numerous plays where the crowd played a factor. Just painting the Saints logo on the endzone does not make it a home game. The league should be ashamed...this was obviously a way to make the bottom line better. The whole justification that New Yorkers could appreciate New Orleans tradgedy is crap as well...the drunk guys wearing Tiki Barber jerseys and screaming at the top of their lungs were not feeling any connection with the people of New Orleans at all.

Excel Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The game should have been played at Washington, Philly or Dallas. At least the Saints would have had fan support. That Giant crowd was a big factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooleyisgod Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 agreed, what a scam..that saints logo in the end zone looked like it was spray painted by my 7 year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickblue Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The rest of the NFC East was hosed by the league... I can't believe Jerry, Danny and Lurie stood by and took that one... That game should have been in San Antonio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorgantownHokie88 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Total scam. The NFL should be ashamed of what happened last night. Totally unfair for every other NFC team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DialSux Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 yeah, i'm sure the game would have been sold out in dc or philly or any other city. they got some applause from the fans before the game but what else do you expect? what other option did they have?

Westbrook36 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Tagliabue's spin during the game was well-rehearsed garbage. Yeah, you can't have it in San Antonio because they have to concentrate on the people who have fled there. He said it with a straight face too.

Eagles_Legendz Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The game should have been played at Washington, Philly or Dallas. At least the Saints would have had fan support. That Giant crowd was a big factor. That's a good idea actually. Problem is, the NFL is about revenue, and none of those three stadiums would have come close to selling out.

BlueTalon Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Philly might have. It's close enough to New York for people to drive out for the game, plus fans in Philly, plus anyone from New Orleans that might have been able to go. Personally, I'd like to see them play in San Antonio for the rest of the season. I'd also like to see the NFL provide busses from the shelters in Houston and Dallas and discount (or free) tickets to New Orleans residents there. They (the NFL) can certainly afford it.

jhayunga Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 What the league should have done ( and they have the money) was fly all the poor souls suffering in LA to NJ for the game. Let them get out and enjoy life again for a little while. Don't try and tell me that the players couldn't come up with enough money in conjuction with the league to make that happen.
