Wow this has to be a joke right

but they seem pretty confident that there was definetly a whistle somewhere

You hear something like a whistle at the 3:38 in the 4th quarter.

But I have no idea wtf it is. It doesn’t sound like a normal whistle. It becomes audible when the ball is snapped at 3:24 also. (The play Porter hits Locker)

The fans think the refs screwed them
Wo I dont know what game they were watching but with 2 TD’s called back I would say we got screwed not them

Blowing a whistle would affect both teams. Secondly, just beacuase you can hear one on tape doesn’t mean that the Saints were even doing it. You’d have to have video of Sean Payton or some member of the staff (or team) doing this! Are football players too stupid to put this together? I mean, if a fan was using a whistle in the Tennessee Stadium then the Titans can go cry to their ownership. Biggest non-story of the day.

Sounded like most of the Who-Dats were at the other EZ, wasn’t the ref’s, stopping the play. Whatever.

as my wife says, “Seems a bit fishy to me…”

The officials are a bunch of imbeciles over there, one of those glue sniffing morons might have blown it by mistake.

Is already calling for Sean Payton to be suspended. Apparently we are guilty because (according to them) we didn’t comment on the situation after the game…..and of course they have audible “evidence” which is of course proof….because it wasn’t like there was a stadium full of people at the game….oh, wait.

Who gives a rat’s a—? Seriously, they’ll never be able to trace it to a specific area (stands or field), and I doubt they could even say it affected the on-field play. Obviously, the refs never heard it, and like xen-cuts said, it could hurt both teams, so what would we have to gain? This did not come from our bench; there’s too much at stake for this kind of bs from professional players. Has anyone heard of this ever happening in a pro game? Clearly, the folks in my hometown have developed some issues since I moved to Louisiana. Grow up, and stop whining.

I am pretty damn positive if that had been coming from anywhere close to the first 10 rows of the stadium A) Security would have gotten involved and/or B) A fight would have broken out… in which Security would have gotten involved regardless.

If Roos is mic’d up and you hear it coming from the Saints sideline, it was coming from the Sideline.

There are two fallacies with this argument. For one, who the hell arrests someone for whistling at a game? And second, it is invalid to defend yourself that it came from the Saints sideline by saying it came from the Saints sideline. Please try harder, Titan fan.

And two words to echo Panic’s sentiments above: Whistle Monsta.

….treat it justike the team has: ignore it, it isn’t worthy of any further response.

As for Harper, he plays rough, goes too far, but “dirty” is a bit over reaching. I mean, he’s no Courtland Finnegan! ;-)

Everything else is worth a fart in the breeze. Actually, I assume Brees’ farts would be worth more.

not exactly spy gate, even it it was true. Are we supposed to believe that we’ve been training to ignore whistles for the last 3 minutes of a game after stopping when they hear them the rest of their life?

Now training them to ignore their coverage responsibilities over the last 3 minutes? That I can believe.

The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 is a United States federal law that protects whistleblowers. Whistleblowers may file complaints that they believe reasonably evidences a substantial and specific danger to third down conversions.

The Office of Special Counsel, which investigates whistle-blower complaints, has had no leader since October 2008. That’s when then-special counsel Scott Bloch resigned amid an FBI investigation into whether he obstructed justice by illegally deleting computer files following complaints that he himself was selling whistles to prospective whistle blowers to pad his own job security. Then-Senator Obama made a campaign vow at the time to appoint a special counsel committed to whistle-blower rights. It was not until April 2011 that Obama administration appointee Carolyn Lerner was confirmed by the Senate.

The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, only court empowered to hear appeals of whistle-blower cases decided by the merit board, has been criticized by Senator Grassley (R-Iowa) and others in Congress for misinterpreting whistle-blower laws and setting precedent that is hostile to claimants. Since Congress last revised the Whistle-blower Protection Act in 1994, the court has ruled for whistle-blowers in only three of 203 cases decided on their merits, GAP’s analysis found.

This is getting ugly, guys. I suggest we leave it alone.

I didn’t hear no damn whistle!

(And why isn’t it spelled w i s s e l ?)

I think it is one reason they keep him around, because it isn’t for his coverage skills. If he doesn’t take that guy down with the facemask, it is a touchdown.

If it was someone on the Saints sideline and there is proof of this, that coach/player should be suspended/fired. If no one can find any proof of who made the noise, Jake Scott and Michael Roos play next season in tin foil helmets to teach them a lesson about making false accusations. We got a deal?

The whistling you can hear is continuous throughout, and doesn’t even sound like a ref’s whistle. It is a loud perceiving whistle coming from the stands and doesn’t even have the rolling sound like Da Whistler makes except maybe once.

Anyone seen this?

He may have actually been affecting the game with his whistling, but I’m pretty sure he wasn’t using anything but his herpe-infected lips. I can totally see where the titans would think it was really a ref’s whistle. I would’ve thought it was, if I hadn’t seen the guy doing it. It was plenty loud enough and close enough for the players on the field to hear very clearly. It was basically right behind the net where the saints punter warmed up on the their sideline (like 15 feet or so behind it, I guess), so I can see where it probably seemed like it was coming from the saints bench area. I hate to defuse a perfectly good conspiracy theory, but that’s what it was.

At his day presser today, #Saints coach Sean Payton cited Whistle Monster as the potential culprit in Whistle-gate accusations vs. Titans.

I tried to rec FPK’s thing about wind whistling iver vaginas bit it flagged it
