| Could the NFL field a competitive all-white team? Posted by ClientNumber9 on 4/8 at 5:14 pm What says the MSB? So here are the rules:
22 offensive and defensive starters.
No mixed race or Pacific Islanders like Troy Polumalu or Jimmy Graham. No Latinos or Asians. We're talking straight up Caucasian folks here.
Given that there are no white cornerbacks on any NFL rosters and onl...Posted on: More Sports BoardJump to Post • View Topic |
| Free Agency 101: Unrestricted vs. Restricted Free Agents & Tender Offers Posted by ClientNumber9 on 3/4 at 11:23 pm As Free Agency season approaches, I thought I would do a PSA for the casual Saints/NFL fan that may find their way over to the board. Starting next week on March 12th, NFL teams can officially contact, negotiate with and sign free agents. Words like Restricted Free Agents (RFAs), Unrestricted Free...Posted on: New Orleans Saints TalkJump to Post • View Topic |

I know La Tech has won a ridiculous 18 straight and playing great ball right now, but i think JOB would go ape shite in the low post. As much as i hate to admit it, it'd probably be a competitive game if they met on a neutral court....Posted on: Tiger RantJump to Post • View Topic |

| Could a person get a sex change and become a priest? Posted by ClientNumber9 on 2/26 at 5:04 pm Here me out:
A woman gets a sex change at age 20 and becomes a man. At age 30, the "man" converts to Catholicism and becomes so engrossed in the faith, he feels led to become a priest. Would he be allowed to go to seminary? Why or why not?
Since women are not allowed to be priests and onl...Posted on: O-T LoungeJump to Post • View Topic |

| A detailed look at every player drafted with Rob Ryan as a DC (Part I) Posted by ClientNumber9 on 2/9 at 4:41 pm Note: I didn't attempt to make any projections from Ryan's draft history and how it might relate to who we take in New Orleans. I think there are too many variables in play for that. For example, during his time in Oakland, he wasn't given the reigns to the organization with the freedom to draft ...Posted on: New Orleans Saints TalkJump to Post • View Topic |

If we're going to make a playoff push, we've got to have unsung second stringers like Charlie Brown step up. Keep Brees upright and we win- it's that simple.
