CRACKING THE WHIP

IF THIS HUMP DAY IS ANY INDICATION OF HOW PISSED HEAD COACH SEAN PAYTON IS IN REACTION TO THE 41-10 ASS KICKING THE CAROLINA PANTHERS HANDED THE SAINTS, I DON'T WANT TO LIVE TO SEE THURSDAY.

TODAY, PAYTON SHELLED OUT A PINK SLIP TO JOE MORGAN AND EVEN BENCHED STANDOUT, KENNY VACCARO CITING CHARACTER ISSUES.

SOME MAY AGREE ITS A LITTLE HARSH BUT THE MOVE IS THE RIGHT ONE.

IT'S A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW BUT HE'S GOT TO MAKE A STATEMENT.

THE INCONSISTENT EFFORTS OF THE TEAM THIS SEASON HAS RAISED SOME EYEBROWS. DURING PRESEASON, THE TEAM  WAS SLIGHTED TO BE A MAJOR PLAYOFF CONTENDER AND SOME ANALYSTS EVEN PREDICTED THEM TO MAKE A TRIP TO THE SUPERBOWL.  BUT NOT THIS TEAM, NOT THIS YEAR.

THE TEAM  HEADS THE DIVISON AT FIVE AND EIGHT, BUT EVEN THE WILD CARD SLOTS ARE FILLED.  NO BIGGIE. THIS TEAM HAS ISSUES. MAJOR ISSUES.

TRUTH BE TOLD, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. BUT I DAMN SURE PLAN TO   FIND OUT.

SHORT AND SIMPLE.
