No they're not, just the media is. Believe me, New Orleanians can't stand it either every time an announcer just has to bring up Katrina and how the saints revitalized the city. Similar to last year and every freakin' game they had to mention bounty and bring up the bounty scandal even though everyone had already known about it before game 1, they still had to bring it up every game the entire season. And they are doing it this season with sean payton. It has been 4 weeks, and every game they have to bring up sean payton was suspended all last season. Hey, its Sean Payton's first game back, hey its Sean Payton's first road game back, hey its Sean Payton's first prime time game since being suspended, hey its Sean Payton's first time back to Chicago since being suspended.
Every week, any given game, there is a lot of filler time for announcer's so they just keep repeating the same shit over and over and over.
