I hope that both parties understand that they have put the already pissed off and strung out fans of the Saints thru a ridiculous and agonizing wait.


No, you put yourself through it. 25 years ago before the 247 news cycle or today's up to the second tweet fest, you'd have read maybe one story a week about this in the news paper, not agonized over it every hour of every day. All you have to do is realize that you don't have to follow every second and it's a much less agonizing process. Why should Brees or the Saints apologize because you're too stupid to realize you're doing this to yourself?

Honestly.

We all knew this was going to the last minute.
And yet you guys let yourself freak out over every little detail.

Nothing we've heard changes the fact that it'll get done at the last minute.

And the NAY sayers have arrived.... and at least this one did not get the point...

The Saints have been screwing up by the numbers in a very big way. What makes you so confident that they won't screw up the Drew Brees deal? Riots and mob scenes to follow. Brees and Condon are not without fault either. Exceptionally poor judgement by management in not stopping the bounty BS when they had the chance. IF it ever happening but I won't digress on that here. That is one unholy mess and we won't see the end of it for a long time. The legal system has it now....

Maybe you have complete confidence in Saints management, but I sure as hell don't. The Brees situation is just far too visible for a franchise that is in this much hot water. It looks to me like they have their heads up their &$% ..... And I'll bet that I am not alone.

Personally, I am not, as you say, "too stupid to realize you're doing this to yourself?" I don't have time to read all of the crap that is out there and don't want to. I have done nothing except see that economically and public relations wise, the Saints management is acting as though they are oblivious to the criticism and the blood in the water. And with the current lineup in management including Rita Benson Leblanc (given a leave of absense by her grandfather due to her "attitude"), Loomis, Benson himself and God knows who else (the janitor and drivers???), I am a good bit skeptical of their "attitude."

I have made an observation followed by a suggested course of action. The observation is shared by many and believe me, action on such things have happened. This is not about me. It's about Saints fans in general making a point.

And I'm also sure that you will light me up on this one with your jaded view on things but.....
This is America and small groups can make a diference if they try. But being criticial of those trying to make a difference is just wrong.

Situations like this provide other teams and cities with plenty of ammunition to keep calling New Orleans and Louisiana stupid and rednecks and worse... You may have noticed that there is no shortage of that claim.

It is time to "quit talking and start chalking" as the old pool saying went a/k/a shut up and play.

I hope that Brees is signed, but I fault both parties for keeping the Saints in the news and ALL for bad reasons. If Brees is not signed, then we'll see how Daniels and Canfield do. Time moves on.
