It's the offseason and I'm bored of the threads here. Also, i enjoy my annual offseason novel thread. Although this one is not a picture book like the others.

Enjoy.:

Indulge an old man if you will. I will tell you the story of how the idiots from the rant found their way to the quiet town of Saints Talk.

Once they were contained. A long time ago. A time long since forgotten in the minds of many men here. In late December 2009, they began to creep in. Throughout 2009 there were warning signs but they were ignored by the powers in charge of the Saints. They continued to crush and dominate the competition. And the Rant began to creep under and over the precious wall system we had built to keep them out.

In early February 2010 there was a sudden influx of rantards. It was chaos and panic however the citizens of Saints Talk were too happy to notice and the rantards began to recede quick enough. The spoils of the victory over the bastard son of the city Peyton Manning were being enjoyed by all. Indeed, the joys of the victory at the battle in Miami of 2010 made the citizens of Saints Talk to overcome with excitement to notice the problems growing outside their walls.

For the next two years it seemed all would be well. Though there was some times when the rantards would spill over, the quite town of Saints Talk remained happy and protected.

Then came the fateful day which will forever live in infamy. At 8:30 pm eastern time, January 9, 2012, there was a dangerous overload on the collective psyche of the rant. Those who held themselves out as loyal followers of the rant in the good times had reached their peak. And the King Miles had a chance to conquer his subjects and keep them for life or lose them forever.

Then it happened. At approximately 11:00 pm eastern time on January 9, 2012, the bandwagon fickle mob that makes up the Rant exploded in anger. Cast out from their homeland desperate and alone seeking tirelessly for a new king they found Saints Talk.

It was a trying time for those men of Saints talk. Just 5 days away from the valiant battle of the Candlestick 2012, tensions were already running high.

The clash of the rantards at the worst possible time led to a deep hatred. At the conclusion of the battle at candlestick, the valiant men of saints talk surveyed the field. Roman Harper and Scott Shanle, two commanders left in charge of guarding the gate from the enemy slept on the job. The battle was lost in the final seconds when it seemed so sure that we had won.

Just when we believed things could not get worse, the viscous brutal fickle mob of bandwagoning rantards invaded and poured salt lemon and mercury into the wounds of battle.

To make matters worse may loyal members of Saints Talk Nation wounded in the battle at Candlestick had been wounded just days before in the event known as 1/9/12. And they could not escape the horrid memories as they were brought up in each meeting of Saints Talk.

It is a story for another time, but it was around these same events that the S.U.F. movement began. The Sunshine Unicorn Fap movement or SUF was hated by many locals but it was a movement which remained strong none the less. It has however died down now. Some because the times have changed and its members grown older. Some because the government of Saints Talk took it upon themselves to issue a moratorium on the movements mantra. Its former members, made up of mostly young posters, some of which were Paddy, Coco, Hoodoo, and Breesus, have changed their views and left the movement. But their heros, 60s spiderman and Nick Cage, will live on in memory.


That hatred between the rantards and the Saints fans remains strong and cannot seem to be reconciled. The rantards now regularly regurgitate the same mantra "bring LSU to the Saints" in a desperate hope to watch the best of their team simply walk from baton rouge to new Orleans every year. The people of Saints Talk soldier on.

Now the events which unfolded after the fateful battle in Candlestick were a much darker time. The evil emperor Goodell saw fit to try and destroy the loyal Saints Nation with a swift, brutal, and unwarranted iron fist.

But i grow tired of old forgotten tales. Weary in my old age. Thus is written the tale of the Rantard riot which overcame Saints Talk and the explosive 5 days in mid January 2012 which changed these two message boards forever.

So you're saying LSU fans can't be good Saints fans or what? I'm confused.

Nice to see someone put forth the effort to tell a story. But the story is bullshite.

Seriously, when are we going to stop with this crap about LSU fans being some sort of lower tier Saints fan? I grew up a Saints fan, and I was more into the Saints waaaay before I became an LSU fan, but when I see posts like this from Saints fans it disappoints me.

Fanhood is not a mutually exclusive arrangement. You can like both LSU and the Saints. You can pour your heart into both. It doesn't matter if you started pulling for the Saints 40 years ago or 4 minutes ago. Quit being a snob.

As for LSU fans who hope the Saints draft LSU players, DUH. Who the hell do you think they want to draft, someone from Middle Tennessee that they never heard of or the kid that just played for their favorite team? Annoyed by it? Get over it... because sometimes LSU players are legitimate fits for the Saints roster. You really think the Saints couldn't use Landry or Beckham this year? What about Reid last year?

This board was never a paradise free from LSU "rantards." Stop pretending that it ever was. And even so, there's nothing wrong with that. They are people and have opinions and viewpoints, just like yours.
