New Orleans Saints @SaintsNews State Police say there was zero evidence #Saints GM Mickey Loomis participated in any eavesdropping... Thanks for confirming the obvious!
Grandmaster Wang @moosedenied Saw it coming from the moment @JeffDuncanTP called John Barr a "consummate professional" didn't we?
Saints Nation Blog @SaintsNationBlg Classic ESPN to pile on Saints when down with hearsay to sensationalize a scandal. Let's see if they admit being wrong & unethical. Doubt it
Saints Nation Blog @SaintsNationBlg @AdamSchefter let's see you guys step up and report the eavesdrop story on Loomis was bogus. Does your network have the stones to admit?
Saints Nation Blog @SaintsNationBlg I hope Mickey Loomis sues @espn for their reckless and unethical running of a story without a shred of proof or evidence.

NFC South Preseason Stock Watch - NFC South Blog - ESPN
Chris Ivory, Saints. New Orleans already had a wealth of riches at running back entering training camp. Now, the Saints look deeper than ever with undrafted rookie Travaris Cadet having a very nice preseason. Ivory entered camp clearly as the fourth running back. But Cadet has made that a little murky.
