Ten places Roger Goodell can't eat or drink in New Orleans this weekend

[KamaAina]

Goodell, of course, is the NFL commissioner whose heavy-handed sanctions against the Saints over their bounty policy (which was previously employed by several other teams that had Gregg Williams as their defensive coordinator) cost them any chance of playing in the Super Bowl in their own Superdome.

Earlier, suspended Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma directed a Miami restuarant he owns not to serve Goodell, on the off chance he happened to stop by. But shit just got real. One of the reasons people, the Ginger Hammer included, love to come to New Orleans is to eat and drink. And a growing number of establishments run by die-hard Saints fans are following Vilma's lead.

Who Dat? Who Dat? Who dat sayin' they gonna serve this man? Oh, Roger Goodell. Will you be treated like a king while in New Orleans, or will you venture to the wrong side of the tracks where Pony Boy types will throw darts at your forehead and watch you get swallowed up by something called the Super Hole XLVAG? By now, it's obvious that the city—with much urging from Mayor Landrieu and even Sean Payton— are rolling out the red carpets for the NFL commissioner. But a habit is a hard thing to break. And in New Orleans, hating Goodell is habit.

Take a look at this Times-Pic picture from yesterday, and you'll see the the Who Dat Nation is not totally sold on the niceties deal. So now, dearest Who Dat Nation, for the fans who can't get over the fact that the Saints aren't playing in the Dome this Sunday, that we are losing our 2nd round draft pick for 2013, and that we just don't trust a guy who never seems to smile that much, Eater presents ten bars and restaurants that are holding down the Do Not Serve This Man attitude during this Super Bowl. Here are ten places Where Goodell Can't Eat or Drink in New Orleans.

1. No sympathy for the Aints. They fucked themselves. They tried to pull a belicheat

and screwed themselves. Fuck them.

They are being a bunch of fucking crybabies blaming Goodell.


I wish BossHOG was still around.

2. What about the R*dsk*ns?

you know, the other NFL team in your backyard. When Williams was D-cord, they played the same style of "aggressive" defense, presumably using the same bounty system. Yet they get off scot-free. Not that it would have mattered.

And the only reason the Saints got caught was that they gave full access to a crew that was making a documentary about Steve Gleason, the Saint who blocked a punt for a TD to spark the rout of the Falcons in the first home game after Katrina and later contracted ALS. There is a statue of the play outside the Superdome titled "Rebirth".

No good deed goes unpunished.

3. The Deadskins? Danny-boy Snyder has done a pretty good job of sabotaging the team over the

years, such that he did not need the help of Williams.

I think Gibbs may have kept Williams under control, especially when he made sure Williams would never become HC of the Deadskins.
