Move On

The Can't Move On thread prompts me to again link Grandmaster Wang @ moosedenied.com. I've pimped him before and think he should be on everyone's regular weekly read list. This week is 'Lift Your Head Up High (And Blow Your Brains Out) Part 2' is classic and the perfect antidote for anyone suffering from HLF (heartbreaking loss fatigue). He eloquently speaks what I think is the sentiment of most Saint fans- thanks forever GW, but we're glad to have a new face come in.

Just a tidbit before the therapeutic part...

He was clearly the best, or at least most accomplished, available DC candidate at the time, and getting him was nothing short of a coup. He helped to transform what had been an utterly anemic (damn near hopeless) defense into something we could occasionally be proud of. A little, anyway. Every now and then.

So hey, good on ya, Gregg. And best of luck. I think eventually we'll all be able to look back and honestly say that it was more good than bad. By a lot. And that qualifies as a bona fide smashing success as far as I'm concerned. We'll always have 2009.

But, yeah, three years is enough. It had become increasingly evident throughout 2011 that the whole thing had gotten pretty stale. And your résumé would seem to suggest that 3 or 4 years is about your typical shelf life in one place. I suspect you're keenly aware of that, and while we're all aware of the fact that Fisher is your boy and that's a big part of why you moved on, I'm betting that your time with the Saints having pretty much reached its expiration date was a factor as well. And kudos to you for being self-aware enough to get that.

You're a good dude, Gregg. Hopefully you'll pardon us for the enthusiasm with which we're all embracing this opportunity for change. It's just time. That's all. Now please try not to take the rest of this here post personally…
