Saints Will Finally Get Chance to Meet With Tagliabue
SAN ANTONIO (AP) – The New Orleans Saints have waited all season for a visit from NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue. The meeting comes Friday, two days before their hurricane-plagued season ends.
Players’ reactions to Tagliabue could resemble some of the Saints’ games during a 3-12 season – ugly.
“I think it’s going to vary from player to player,” offensive tackle Wayne Gandy said Thursday. “You’ll get a quiet guy who speaks low, and then another guy who, depending on how the meeting goes, might get outrageous.
“It should be a fun meeting.”
I wish I had a scene with an argument in it right now. I could take the obvious tension from this and really write a whopper. But Tagliabue better have a better whopper up his sleeve or he’ll get his precious feelings hurt.
