Tell that to all the people he defrauded, to USC and their fans, and to the NFL. He paid a restitution of $160,000 for his $350,000 defrauding of the NFL BEFORE he came to NO with Bush... I'm sure "harmless" is not what the NFL calls Michael Ornstein.

Or, as Payton called him, "point man for the Saints during their trip to Miami for the Super Bowl, arranging everything from daily gifts for players and their wives to strategically placed Saints billboards throughout the city." Calling him a "hanger on guy" is really pretending not to notice the elephant in the room that your team was happy to buy peanuts for.

Remind me of how the salary cap works, and how gifts outside of it work again? No wonder Loomis can be a genius with the cap... just have a criminal provide gifts to wives and players (or like he did for Bush under the table) to keep that money off the books! Problem solved! Too bad he's not there any more, and Brees had to get actual money.
