They've had a good off-season. I think I'd put them pretty much even with the Colts for the 3rd best team in the AFC.

Edit: didn't realize how obvious that sounded considering they and the Colts both made it to the Divisional Round last year. oh well.

Very happy the Saints were able to get a deal done with Jimmy and put the whole arbitration WR/TE behind them. Really looking forward to this season.

Even though he is now the highest paid TE, still seems like the Saints got a steal. Graham is the truth.

Uh, any desire to talk about Chris Kluwe? I kinda hate talking about him, but it's a storyline.

Uh, any desire to talk about Chris Kluwe? I kinda hate talking about him, but it's a storyline.

He is blasting the organization for the way they treated his LBGT views. He wants the team to release the full findings from their investigation into their ST coach. They won't. So he threatens a lawsuit and taunting them with supposed knowledge of an interaction between two teammates and an underage girl?

I have that right?

 

[gkIrish]

Kluwe is a hack. He spoke at my law school about some LGBT issue.

IMO he took this up as a cause for selfish reasons because he needed a career after football. I don't doubt that he believes in the cause but I just get a really snake-like vibe from him.

He's blasting the team not because of the way they treated his views but because he thought he was cut because of them and not his production. At least that's how I see his complaints. I just heard an interview with him (on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast, which I highly recommend) where he said as much and challenged the idea that a team should cut Player A whose output is relative to his replacement Player B if Player A is a distraction while Player B is not.

He also said that he did not recall the incident with the S&C coach and refused to comment any more on the two teammates with the underage girl thing.

Seems like a tool to me and I don't think he would've been cut if he could've been a more productive punter.

LOL he is something else. I remember when he was a star in Jersey. Apparently the Ravens just signed him too, which makes no sense since he's suspended for the first 6 games of the season. Rice and Hill on the same team? Stay classy Baltimore.
