Look On The Bright Side: The Saints Just Saved $10 Million
The NFL has come down hard on the Saints for their role in running a bounty program, and it's not cheap: the team must pay a fine of $500,000.

March, when hope springs eternal, and fans of even the most down-and-out teams can convince themselves that somehow, someway, this might be the year.
