The New Orleans Saints players know all about controversial rulings.

So it's no surprise that the athletes who caught Saturday's unprecedented Kentucky Derby result -- when the unofficial winner of the race was disqualified after stewards determined the horse impeded the progress of two other horse -- decided to weigh in.
