Bobby and Spud do a couple of unfortunate things here. For one, they start with the quite defensible proposition that the NFL and national sports media do indeed harbor certain biases against smaller market teams and latent hostility toward New Orleans which we can reasonably expect play a small part in defining the range of possible punishments the Saints will be subjected to over Bountygate... and then quickly run that defensible proposition right off the cliff of dumb drunk conspiracy theory. Thanks for ruining the credibility of our righteous indignation, guys.
Next, they move on to attacking Tarkenton for having an insufficiently masculine first name. And on International Women's Day, no less. Anyway, we're pretty sure Spud and Bobby didn't mean for us to see this and then immediately google up these images because they do, in fact exist.

So.. you know.. yeah.
Oh and why are they pissed at Fran Tarkenton anyway? Well, Fran Tarkenton is kind of an asshole. I'll give them that.
Update: Thanks to @thecajunboy's ability to quickly amplify the Twitter chatter, this same set of jokes already made it up onto Deadspin.
