Roman Harper says Saints would be 5-0 without bounty scandal
This doesn’t say much for the Saints players and the coaches who have taken over during the Bounty Scandal. The Saints could be 5-0, 0-5, 2-3, 3-2 and etc. No one knows, the Saints need to get over it and just play. “If you have none of this bountygate in the offseason. If there’s no problems. Through five games, instead of 1-4, what’s your best guess as to what your record...
Badass Touchdown of the Year? Saints WR Joseph Morgan Gets His Ninja On During This Long TD Pass vs. the Bucs
Could be in the running for the most badass play of the season when it’s all said and done. This is a combination of ninja/football/ridic.
Oh by the way, the Saints looked to be back on track as they pretty much scored at will vs. the Bucs on Sunday. The disparity between the NFC and AFC is pretty ridiculous if you break down the numbers at this point. You know the Saints are going...
VIDEO: Saints WR Joseph Morgan shows ridiculous balance on 48-yard TD reception
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Joseph Morgan provided one of the top highlights of week 7 in the NFL, with a 48-yard touchdown reception he had in the Saints' 35-28 victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday in Tampa Bay.
What made the play so awesome wasn't the actual catch, but the incredible balance and kung fu-like moves Morgan showed off following the catch. He even...

On Monday, he said his suspension...
And Now, Quiz Kid Sean Payton
As mentioned in yesterday’s KSK Kontent Klearinghouse, suspended New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton got braces. The last thing I want to do is step on Ape’s toes, but this is the kind of thing that should be shared everywhere and with everyone for as long as possible. I hope they suspend him again for paying someone to drill him in the teeth.Coach Payton’s statementâ€...

Morgan is able to haul in the pass, evade one defender, flip another, and then take a crushing hit en route to a 48-yard score in the second quarter.

Tom Benson Might Ask NFL To Reconsider Sean Payton's Suspension
It remains highly unlikely that New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton will stand on the sideline and coach a game this season. Yet owner Tom Benson might ask the league to reconsider its iron-fist stance on his Super Bowl-winning head coach.
There's no guarantee Benson will ask NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to reduce Payton's season-long suspension if former Commissioner...
Buccaneers come up short against Saints
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Jonathan Vilma played for the first time while appealing a season-long suspension for his role in the Saints bounty program and Drew Brees threw for 377 yards and four touchdowns to pace a 35-28 come-from-behind victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Saints Nation: Defensive and Special Teams Player Grades @ Buccaneers
For moments in this game the Saints' defense gave us the illusion they might be on to something, but let's be honest with ourselves and admit the Bucs' offense is really bad. To yield 513 total yards to that trash is enough to cement this defense's claim to worst of all time in NFL history. And that's just how bad this unit is. To their credit, they "held...
Saints 35, Buccaneers 28
