Grandmaster Wang brilliantly responds to Jeff Duncan's pretentious "Goodell should be hailed as hero" rant
moosedenied " Blog Archive " It’s a fine, fine day for a reunion…
Anyway, setting aside Roger's self-serving ploy for retroactive redemption, this is simply the latest example of certain members of the Legitimate Media™ taking themselves (and by extension the situation) way, way too seriously. They've conjured up this horrifying image in their minds of a citywide angry mob unleashing all manner of incivility under the brightest of international spotlights, and they've taken it upon themselves to pre-emptively plead with us to behave. To condescendingly lecture us on how important it is that we somehow manage to control ourselves while the elites are among us. You know, for the good of the city. Wouldn't want to project the image that we're a bunch of butthurt lunatics at the mercy of our own misguided spite. Or something. Shove it up your ass, Duncan. You too, Mitch.

Another great post bitch-slapping Jeff Duncan
Times-Picayune Columnist Jeff Duncan: ‘Roger Goodell Should Be Hailed As A New Orleans Hero’ | HOT 107.9
Look, I’m just a DJ who happens to love the Saints, my home state of Louisiana, and it’s crowned jewel that we know as the city of New Orleans – and I’m well aware that my opinion may not matter to most, but my message to Jeff Duncan is this: How dare you? Using the magnitude of Hurricane Katrina’s disastrous affect on the city of New Orleans as a platform to humiliate it’s residents is disgusting in every sense of the word. Criticizing them for their disgust with a man whose proven reckless and unfair handling of the very team that you credit as their savior of their city, shows just how flawed your logic is

WWL - AM870 | FM105.3 | News | Talk | Sports - ALCU Sues To Block Super Bowl ''clean Zone'' In N.O.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana is suing to block the city of New Orleans from maintaining a so-called "clean zone"" where the use of banners, signs and flags will be restricted during Super Bowl festivities. The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit Thursday on behalf of an activist and a street preacher who claim the city"s enforcement of a new ordinance and a code enforcement guide will trample on their free speech rights and limit their activities in the days leading up to the Feb. 3 game. The ACLU claims the city adopted the new policies at the behest of the NFL. SATCH NOTE: Scared much, Roger?
