AB Working out with the Saints

Would have to make the Saints the favorite by a mile.
HOF QB, 2 #1 WR and a top 5 RB
It would be like the 2017 Steelers offense with a better QB and a better #2 WR
 
Yeah, except its more like "No way Antonio Clown accepts sharing targets and media coverage with Michael Thomas". AB not exactly a "team first" guy.

exactly why the saints shouldn't and won't be signing that piece of trash.
 
No ****, this is Sean Payton making this move, and for a reason

He could sign him, Saints don't have to pay him till he clears, keeps him away from other playoff teams, NFL fast tracks the investigation, AB available for a deep playoff run

They cut him after the SB parade, lol

One of early morning shows today (can’t remember which, a little drugged up from more back surgery yesterday) said something to effect of after regular season over that Saints aren’t on hook to pay him. Is paid by league from playoff divvy. Is this true?
 
According to Clark, he warned the Steelers not to give him that type of money. He said he was already showing signs of being a diva. His first practice after getting the money he screamed at LeBeau. So it wasn't an evolution that Tomlin watched. It came right away. Tomlin covered it up. AB was allowed special privileges that others weren't. He was allowed to show up late to practice. He stayed in a different location during camp ETC.. Tomlin allowed him to run the place. ABs actions are on him. However, the organization's response to AB are on Tomlin who allowed it to happen in his locker room.

How’d that routine work for Coughlin. Today’s NFL is very different. The deck is stacked in favor of players (especially star players who are productive). I have no doubt AB showed narcissistic tendencies early on. They clearly got worse over time. It’s unrealistic to believe a coach (any coach, not just Tomlin) could have controlled him - unless you do what Tomlin, Gruden, Reid, Marrone, Bellichick and so many others eventually do. You cut your losses and move. So are you saying you would have preferred not to have all those years with the #1 WR on the roster?

that is simply an unknown. It is fair to say that not every coach would have let the behavior metastasize.That is more believable because there is a lot of teams that snip bad behavior in the *** quickly.
 
Saints or any team, there is no ******* way Goddell can't suspend him or he can never suspend another player for "conduct detrimental to the league". He deserves at least 6 games based on his long history of items.
 
I just read that Saints are NOT signing him. I didn't copy link, sorry.

From the clip of a week or two ago, the one where cops are at his house, you could tell he was soft and to much gangA on the throat from both smoking & partying.


Salute the nation

would be funny as **** if they made him do a piss test and he failed.

Belicheat didn't put up with it 5 seconds. I believe Coughlin has 2 SB wins over the pats****. Including beating the undefeated pats*****. He also has a 12-7 overall playoff record and that's counting his time in Jax. He was 8-3 with the Giants which is a .727 percentage. He's won a SB since Tomlin has even been in one.

How many SBs and playoff wins does Tomlin have with AB since he signed his huge contract? So what exactly would they lose by Tomlin controlling his locker room? Why get rid of him now if allowing him to run the show is no big deal and there is nothing Tomlin can do about it?

He gave you a example of a coach who didn't put up with ABs behavior, which was directly in line with your Tomlin comments. If you didn't grasp that I don't know what to tell you.

Not at all. It will be swept under the carpet. Maybe a fine and a lie that their joke of an investigation showed no link between the guilty and billacheat. They can't have it saying anything else.
Might be a good thing this is taking so long. No way do they inflict any harsh punishment just as the season ascends to the playoffs...maybe after?

Seriously? You asked me how it worked out with Coughlin... I told you he won 2 SB and has a better overall playoff winning percentage than Tomlin especially with the Giants. Then you mentioned Belicheat... so I explained how Bill didn't put up with him for 5 seconds.

Not sure why you can't understand that. OH and I also explain how Tomlin has won dick with AB after his contract.
