Mike D - Antonio Pierce rejected Saints.

Danno · 03-03-2005, 01:16 PM

Mike D commented on 1300 AM that the Saints invited Antonio Pierce in for a visit and he decline to even make the trip. Said that kinda threw the Saints for a loop.

There ya go folks. Are you happy now. The Saints tried to sign your guy and he turned us down.

You said you\'d be happy. But, I get the feeling you won\'t be.

Just like I was telling ya....

Now, what would you do to get him? Anybody?

saintswhodi · 03-03-2005, 01:22 PM

OH MY GOD!!! This made me feel at least 15% better. No kidding. Not only did they go after someone, or make an arbitrary visit invite, but they went after THE GUY, at least in my mind. If it\'s true, it lifts my spirits some. It gives me a small glimmer of hope. But ont he other hand, did we lay all our eggs in that basket with no backup plan?

Sounds like it, and it would be just like us. But they made an attempt, so maybe 2 or 3 years from now if we stick with them, people will think they are serious and visit.

Danno · 03-03-2005, 01:27 PM

Same thing happened last year. They went after Milloy, called to counter-offer, and he wouldn\'t even return their call.

That pisses my Black-&-Gold loving arse off. :mad2:

GumboBC · 03-03-2005, 01:28 PM

Here\'s some more of what Mike D. had to say. Minus the Miked D. babble!!

Said specifically the the Saints wanted LB-Antoino Pierce, but he turned down a invite and the FO seemed to be lost as to what to do next.

Say\'s Mayberry is coming today, but doesn\'t think the Saints can convince him to sign.

Howard will be traded for a decent return, there are several teams actively pursuing a trade and not even the Saints can botch this.

The are still working with Jacksonville about getting Donivon Darious.

Thanks for the reports, both of you guys, yes even your antagonistic arse Gumbo. I am telling you I have been furious for days, this makes me feel marginally better although, A) they didn\'t have a plan after Pierce and B) our organization is so screwed up from the outside players won\'t even visit. This is freaking terrible. I have to agree with you on that Danno.

Well I think the informed persons on this board are resigned to the fact that some players will not even consider New Orleans as a place to play.

Does that mean we shouldn\'t aim high?? I\'d think not. As far as I\'m concerned, we should just dust ourselves off and try again(with another player).

Instead of being afraid to get their feelings hurt the team needs to approach this more as a business and less with a \"will you be my friend\" mentality.

But I am slightly less pessimistic with this news.

Man soooo much happening and so many dissapointments etc, etc. I want all theses positions filled just as bad as anyone but I take a look at the end of last year, and it makes me remember....follow along for a minute now and see if your in this boat too............

at 4 and 8, the season was lost, 6-8 at least getting to close to not being a joke, 7-8 all of a sudden 500 seems like a possible playoff spot, and finally 8-8, should\'ve been enough but the NFL\'S STUPID 3 way tie rule Screws the Saints out of a playoff spot!

At the 4 and 8 spot this team was close to an all out house cleaning, Staff, players, Everything, Starting from scratch ( Just my opinion ) And I remember thinking, MAN if these guys could just have 1 more season to get it together...Maybe then!

Then comes at the 8-8 finish and a pretty good last 4 games, Now this team has the owner ( Fans ) thinking the same thing! But as it seems With the Saints, We always want more, and are never happy with what we got. Now go get this guy, and sign him, We\'ll be the best then!! Same song just a different verse. When is what we got going to be enough? I like this team with or without any more additions! The Howard situation is still up in the air, and this team has done well in the draft, Let\'s focus on some of the positive , though I know it\'s tough. We all want everything and more...It\'s human nature!

P.S I don\'t mean to speak for everyone when I say things like \'We\", Just my opinion, and way of staying positive for me.

Stall, give me what you are smoking cause I need it, bad. :rauch06: So you are satisfied with Victor Riley and that he can get it done? And James Allen? And Boo? And Gandy? And Tesucky? You are fine with these players? I really do need a hit of that, seriously. :P
