As a Saints fan, today was a day of ups, and downs. On the upside, the NFL reinstated Saints head coach Sean Payton. On the downside, I read one of the most baseless, illogical - and just plain disrespectful columns from Jeff Duncan, a New Orleans sports beat writer who believes that

Drew Brees isn't a guy that you see talking trash for the of simply creating drama. So when speaking on yesterday's news surrounding the overturning of player suspensions, Brees raised a few eyebrows when he blasted the NFL and it's commissioner Roger Goodell for the mishandling of the Saints' 'Bountygate' investigation.
Better late than never? Not so much, but regardless, NFL spokesperson Greg Aiello just revealed via Twitter, the league's statement regarding the Saints bounty appeal hearing.

The hits keep coming for the New Orleans Saints (no pun intended) as player suspensions were finally handed down from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell surrounding the seemingly never ending New Orleans Saints 'Bountygate' scandal. Four players were suspended in total including former Saints defensive players Anthony Hargrove and Scott Fujita. Current Saints defensive end Will Smith was suspended for four games and linebacker Jonathan Vilma was banned for the entire 2012 season.
The 2012 NFL regular season schedule has been released and we now know who will be playing who, along with when and where those games will take place.

If admitting you have a problem is the first step, then the Saints have officially taken the next step in recovering from the Bountygate scandal.
It looks like we may owe Jeremy Shockey an apology. A radio interview with local New Orleans author Alan Donnes revealed that the whistleblower in the Saints 'Bountygate' scandal is allegedly former Saints defensive quality control Coach Mike Cerullo. But why would someone who was part of Gregg Williams' defensive team snitch?
