Falcons need to watch out for the habitual-cheating Saints on Sunday

I believe the quote by Benjamin Franklin goes something like this: in this world, nothing is certain except death, taxes, and the New Orleans Saints cheating. There have never been truer words spoken and the Atlanta Falcons need to keep that proverb in mind in Sunday’s game against their most-hated rival.

The Falcons will travel to New Orleans to take on a team that continues to add to its long history of cheating.

The Falcons should be mindful of their rival Saints’ newest form of cheating

The one thing that Saints fans hold over the heads of Falcons fans is that they have a Super Bowl trophy, however, they fail to acknowledge to clear fact that that trophy is tarnished from one of the biggest scandals in the history of sports.

I like to state the fact that if fans have petitioned for the Houston Astros to lose their World Series trophy from 2017, then without a shadow of a doubt, the Saints should lose theirs. As bad as the Astros’ sign stealing was, trying to intentionally injure another human being is on a whole new level.

However, that is in the past and what we are focusing on is their newest form of cheating. This past week the Saints franchise was fined an eye-popping $550,000 for faking an injury on Monday Night Football over a week ago.

How sad is that? You have your best defensive player fake an injury to stop the game. It makes no sense why they would have Cam Jordan, of all players, be the one to go down to the ground with an “injury.” Maybe, he was about to be subbed out for a rest, but only a few people know the real truth.

The NFL had warned teams in the past to not pull this stunt and clearly, the Saints ignored the memo. Many are arguing, including the team, that the NFL doesn’t know the truth but if he actually was hurt then why were the coaches the ones telling him that he was hurt? It is hilarious.

The Falcons should watch out when they take the field against the Aints because there is nothing that is beneath them. They will try anything to gain an advantage that they so desperately need right now.
