I would say that it is far from crumbling. Unpleasant pain in the ass, yes. Crumbling, no. As Phocis pointed out in another thread, the Saints should still be the best team in the division and I'll guarantee you that they will be playing with a chip on their shoulders this coming season.

Playing with a chip on their shoulder and a NFL microscope watching every move they make.

While I've tried to keep a level head about most of this, on the inside, my real reaction is

Apparently Brees is livid about the Franchise Tag and wont sign it, I would love for them not to be able to resign him. It would make me laugh.

Well, Goodell has not let the hammer drop on the Saints yet. Let's see, slap on the wrist or bring the pain, we don't know yet.

when that happens do we get to say Hammer Time?

That "livid" statement came from some hack at WIST-AM radio in New Orleans that also "reported" a few weeks back that the Sales of the Hornets was official and had been completed. The NBA denied that "report" the next day and to date there has been no sale.

Despite a report that Drew Brees is "livid" about being franchise tagged, the New Orleans Times-Picayune still expects the two sides to reach a long-term contract "eventually."

Sources close to Brees assured a local radio station that the QB is still optimistic about a long-term deal by the "ultimate deadline" of July 16. While there will plenty of hand-wringing when/if Brees misses offseason workouts, it's a good bet that he will be leading the charges come training camp. Mar 6 - 6:43 PM
