How the world has changed in just 6 years!!

True Dat!!!!!

we used to get players who felt sentenced to be here - or old vets looking to fill in one more year for a pay check

If ya'll remember Reggie's agent said he wouldn't come here and we should draft someone else. Payton's answer was" **** you" then he hung up on Reggie's agent. Now the players come here for less money. How sweet it is.

How true! It's paying off to be a Saint fan after all those rough years!

what coming to a winner helps in FA? who would have thunk it? duh

So True....
