Everyone is quick to call guys "cancers", but do we ever stop to think that maybe these guys just want to win? I'd rather hear Brees or Reggie or someone calling their teammates or the coaches out than this silence I'm hearing right now. Guys that care about winning won't settle for less, those that don't are content with picking up that check each week. That's what scares me the most about the 2007 Saints, they're becoming complacent.

People always complained about guys like Corey Dillion and Randy Moss, but look what happened when you put them on a real football team. You never heard their teammates complaining about them before and now the rest of the league is saying "hey, Moss is still the best receiver in football. Who knew?".

So yeah, if the price is right, bring Hall on.

Dude. You just hit every point that I was going to make. Thank you. You made my day!
to paraphrase: Who gives a fat baby's arse if he 'talks smack' and has an 'attitude'? I care less about this guy's social skills than I do about his playing ability and what that could mean to this team. Let's face it: they're not looking to pay him a boatload of money to make commercials for the United Way and be a role model for our kids.

I get so sick of people quick to slap a 'cancer' label on players because of some of the childish things they do and say. Who cares if they're bad boys? If they can play and contribute, bring em on! Sitting on the fence and poo-pooing about 'character' issues prevents this franchise from getting players like Moss, Owens, etc. and look what it gets us? (insert cricket chirping sound bite here) Hall is, arguably, one of the top five corners in the game right now. Rolling the dice on draft day and HOPING to develop a player in 3-5 years? Are you kidding me? I don't know about you, but unless this team begins to AGGRESSIVELY court top notch fre agent talent in the next couple years, we might as well dust off the 'Aints headgear in the closet and get used to being perennial losers for the next 30 years.

My two cents...
