Sean Payton: "Obviously the other game didn't go the way we wanted. I'm proud of this group. I thought we fought hard -- fought hard all season." #Saints
Vic Fangio on his time with #Saints: "Nothing but great memories from here, just wish we could've had a little bit more playoff success."
Bobby Hebert: "Maybe if you had a different quarterback."
Fangio: "Yea, if we had a quarterback worth a 💩"
Language, Vic, language 😂😂😂
The worst call in NFL history. Well done. Rams win. The @NFL and their incompetent officiating stole this game and stole this city’s heart. Has there been a worst moment in NFL history than this?
Alvin Kamara said he would never consider sitting due to a contract: "The most important thing, I love the city, I love these fans." He said it would be doing the fans a disservice if he didn't ball out on gameday. #Saints
Cam Jordan: "This hurts. I hate it for our defense because I think our defense was so stellar. I hate it for our offense because I think our offense overcame a lot. ... Each season is a marathon, and when you come to the final game it's a full-out sprint." #Saints
Dennis Allen on feelings after serving as the head coach tonight: "I really appreciate everything that Sean Payton's meant to me in my coaching career, and for him to ask me to step in ... I appreciate that he had the faith and the trust in me to lead this team."

Our hearts go out to Bobby Hebert – today his Mom passed away. God bless Miss Paula and Bobby. Please - if you love Bobby, like all of us at WWL do, say a prayer for him, his family and his Mom, Paula Hebert
Bobby Hebert: Maybe it's a good omen that the Super Bowl is in Miami next year. I dunno what is going to happen, but Drew Brees is saying the right things as the leader of the Saints
A GoFundMe has been created seeking to purchase ad space on billboards all over New Orleans with their proposed message being a simple one.
“Fire Dennis Allen.”

"This is a breakdown in emotional intelligence," Newell said. "These young ladies worked hard. It was an emotional game. They lost. And one of the questions in all of the crap about this and the @JeffLandry just adds on to it. This is dangerous."
BILL COSBY'S FIRST NIGHT IN JAIL
• he's at SCI Phoenix, a 3,830-bed lockup that opened two months ago
• he may wind up at SCI Laurel Highlands, a prison for lower-risk inmates on the other side of the state; has separate units for geriatric inmates
Willie Green on the atmosphere at SKC tonight: "I love New Orleans. I love the people here. That was amazing. The Jose chant. It was all kinda stuff going on. Hard for me to focus on exactly what they were saying. But I know they're rooting for us, they're behind us." #Pelicans
Tommy Tucker: "Senator, I know you. I know you’re better than that. You're smarter than that. Act better than that because it embarrasses our state and our city."

Marques Colston on @Cantguardmike : His work speaks for itself. He set a trajectory for himself that's out of this world, and he's backing it up. He's always striving to get better. The ceiling in his mind is limitless. He'll be fun to watch for years to come.
"I don’t sit too well at backup," Miller said. "Even though I respect [Alvin] Kamara and everything he got for the Saints, and everything he did, but I’m coming for that No. 1.”

@MikeDetillier@Coach_EdOrgeron@LSUfootball@LSU
This officiating is absolutely atrocious. An absolutely embarrassing non-call on the missed helmet-to-helmet hit on Kamara, then you miss the spot of the football by almost TWO YARDS!? The @NFL should be completely ashamed of themselves here
"You better go out and find yourself a young quarterback," Mike Detillier said of the Saints. "Nothing kinda puts the jumper cables on a franchise than having a talented, young quarterback."

"The NFL, officiating czar Al Riveron, and commissioner Roger Goodell should face serious scrutiny in the coming days. If the league was facing an officiating crisis before this game, it's likely the day of reckoning has now arrived." -@sethdunlapwwl.radio.com/blogs/seth-dun…
"New Orleans is losing population more so than any other city, and part of it is people thinking they can do better somewhere else. They don't want to leave New Orleans, but they want it to be a functioning city."

"Onyemata isn’t a villain here. He’s yet another victim of outdated drug laws overzealously enforced by an attention-seeking law enforcement department."

In a word: Magical.
LSU 102, Iowa 85.
The Tigers scored the most points ever in a title game. They've won their first ever national championship in basketball.
Next up: We party 🎉 🐯 🏆

Gotta bet @nflcommish and officiating cronies were celebrating pretty hard after that non-call and this result. The #NFL will NEVER live this moment down

Brees: It is critical for Who Dat Nation to be in full effect on Sunday. This is a huge game. Who Dats provide a serious advantage inside the @MBSuperdome....BRING IT!
GEORGIA DOME IMPLOSION- SILENT MON0104- Atlanta's Georgia Dome, one of the nation's largest domed stadiums, was imploded on Monday. Nearly 5000 pounds of explosives were used for the blast.
So, let's see...
Panthers hit the Saints late, hit our players in the head....zero flags
Saints, tired of it, do the same thing....now two flags
What the hell kind of officiating is this?
We are aware of a tweet that went out today from the WWL account. The content of the tweet is categorically offensive and abhorrent to the station. We are actively investigating this incident and will take swift and appropriate action once we determine how this occurred.
Brees on the @Saints' tight end situation: I love Antonio Gates. I had a couple of great years with him. But I could not have been more pleased when the team re-signed Benjamin Watson. I can't tell you how happy I am to have him back, not just on the team but in the locker room.
"I will say this on Mike [Thomas]: He works his tail off. The guy has worked hard in his rehab. He does extra work. He's constantly working on the things that he needs to work on to get better and to return."

An incredible moment here in the Superdome. Nobody here will ever forget that play, a 62 yard touchdown pass when Drew Brees broke Peyton Manning’s all-time NFL passing yardage record. Surreal. -@sethdunlap
Angel Reese on the social media reaction to who she is on the floor: "I’m too hood, I’m too ghetto. Y’all told me that all year. But when other people do it, y’all don’t say nothing. So this is for the girls that look like me, that’s gonna speak up for what they believe in." #LSU
Dennis Allen on Trevor Penning: "This guy is going to be a good player. You've got a young guy that is playing against an extremely good front. So, does he have to get better? Absolutely. Am I concerned? No." #Saints
