I can’t even begin to wonder what the league does about this? 10 First Round Picks? Dissolve the Franchise? This is really bad if true.

Emails detail Saints' aid to archdiocese in scandal

closer to home - i wonder if this impacts our offensive coordinators decision to become their head coach.

This honestly doesn't strike me as that big a scandal. Horrifying because the whole thing has always been horrifying, and an inappropriate use of team resource. But so many CEOs, sports owners and politicians (and ahem, presidents and Senators) are no less intertwined with the Catholic Church and many other questionable actors. I doubt Kellen Moore, whose own chosen church has had myriad similar issues, is paying it any mind.

But maybe he should as there likely is some form of punishment forthcoming.

It's a weird situation because an owner, on one hand, should be allowed to direct employees as they see fit. However, the Saints are part of a group of owners called the NFL which has certain benefits granted by government and is always worried about its brand.

Regardless, it sounds like a messy situation and not one I would be eager to join in any capacity.

But I can't imagine this will affect them at the football operations level. Maybe a big fine for ownership or even suspensions. I guess I am just too cynical to thinks this rises to the level of a Donald Sterling situation, especially when you also had federal judges and editors of the local paper and many others involved in the same way. Or that it would actually be worse than going to work for Jerry Jones (which he surely would have again) or Mark Davis (as Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly have both just done), on a practical if not moral level.
