Guys, I would like to start out by apologizing for bringing negativity and grumpiness to this forum. I use to go to another forum on the Saint web site, where I was just one of many to post negativity, humor, frustration, and anger. For some reason to which I still have not gotten an answer to that site was closed down. It took me a while to find another outlet for my frustration, but, unfortunately for you guys, I ended up here. It has finally dawned on me that I don't really belong here, because most of you guys are young enough to be my sons. (BTW, Scotty, I am not quite ready for SS yet, and do hold down a full-time job. I repair CT scanners for a living, and still have about 11 years before I will be eligible for SS, and by that time it probably won't even be around). Another reason I don't belong here is because I have followed the Saints every year, religiously, since Gilliam ran back that opening kick-off back in '67 against the Rams. I have endured the whole thing, and, consequently, have become quite bitter. However, that is no reason to take it out on you guys, and I have no business coming in here and critisizing your threads or your comments. I hope, for the sake of you young guys, that you don't reach the age of 51 with only one playoff win to show for it. If you do, then maybe you will look back and say, "Damn, I see what was bugging that guy, now." As it is, you are young and optimistic, and there is not one darn thing wrong with that. I may be old, but I am not so old that I can't remember what it was like to think that next year will be different. My problem is that I have now come to the conclusion that there never is going to be a next year, at least, not in my lifetime. I hope I am wrong, and I can't speak for everyone my age, but at some point in time I took the rose colored glasses off and put them away. Now, I can't remember where I put them. For your sake, I hope your future will be brighter. So, farewell, it has been real.
