Man leave his a$$ where he's at I don't want to see Tiki anywhere near our team with his broke a$$ that the only reason his trying to come back he's broke and he needs money.

I say give him a shot in training camp/preseason and see if he has anything left. If he still has it then great. If not then nothing lost. Of course I am more in favor of bringing in younger backs, but you never know. His four years away from the game is a big negative and he is now 35. I do think he is a genuine a-hole, but the Saints have plenty enough leadership to keep him in his place... Still, this would be a major long shot as there are better options available.

You've got to be kidding me, huh?

In British English, if someone says "don't pull my leg" they want you to stop playing a joke on them; to stop telling fibs and to tell the truth. There is a sense of good humour about the whole concept, but it may not have always been so. The origin is found in a Scottish rhyme in which "draw" is used in the sense of "pull" rather than the word itself.

It goes:
He preached, and at last drew the auld body's leg,
Sae the Kirk got the gatherins o' our Aunty Meg.

The suggestion in the rhyme is that Aunty Meg was hung for a crime and, at the end, the preacher pulled on her legs to ensure that she was dead. The rather more sombre overtones of this possibility than are apparent in the British use of the phrase are mirrored in the American usage, where there is much more a feeling of trickery and deception when the saying is used.

I'm sure they'll look at him if he's asking questions during an interview.
