And, no, I don't call what you mentioned a blunder. It's simply a pick that didn't work out. It happens all the time for one reason or another. Welcome to the real world of NFL football, my friend. You take the bad with the good and move on. Or, you can dwell on the past b!tchin' and moanin' about isolated things that no one else that matters cares in the least about. To me THAT is silly. Your choice.

What you call *****ing and moaning I call reflection and evaluation. Something that all intelligent people, including those in the Saints front office, should do frequently. I know my opinions don’t matter to the front office. But it is part of my enjoyment in watching football and following the Saints.

One could apply your “logic” to investing. Obviously not every stock/bond/property etc. goes well. Do you just blow off the ones that didn’t as “Oh Well, that’s real world” or do you study and try to figure out why it didn’t work out to avoid repeating the same mistakes? Do you research an investment beforehand through “experts” that have failed before, or do you pull a Weis and say “to hell what anyone else says, here is where I’m going to put my money”? I doubt you do, but it would be equally as silly as what the Saints did with Baptiste and likely produce the same tragic results.

You put the Saints draft procedure on a bullet-proof pedestal and refuse to find any fault living in denial. That is of course your right to do. But that is what I find ridiculous.
