Not for me on that last part; Now out of the old NFC West that was 49ers, Rams, Falcons and Saints, if the Saints won only two games, it'd better be the Falcons...

Re: Mike Evans Sounds Off On Saints

Easy to hate a team when they make you irrelevant twice a year.

Evans has Godwin and Scotty Miller to thank for his Superbowl ring, because he was doing all he could to hand Green Bay the Conference title.

:popcorn:

:bng:

I really wouldnt be surprised. I think our division will be down this year and we win it by two plus games. Barring injury of coarse.

Damn straight

Re: Mike Evans Sounds Off On Saints

I have always been a fan who just could find any reason like the “Dirty Birds” with the best of them.

But I will say I always thought Arthur Blank handled him with quiet dignity during all the bad times his team brought his way during his ownership.

As I was closing my career out, semi retired, I was contacted by a individual I had work around while I was California. He was now in Atlanta managing Mr Blank’s Aviation Department. The Long and short of it they training their crews for a new type aircraft and were short of crew while people were in school. I was current in the type aircraft currently in the department with 20 years experience flying that type so I was contracted to fly several trips for the them.

Mr Blank was a very gracious individual though he had reviewed my resume he took the time meet and introduce himself on the first trip and thank me for helping him and the department out.

On I think the second trip he came onboard and as I walking through the cabin back to cockpit, asked if I was a Saints fan with big smile. I responded I could not lie I was devoted fan since 1967. He just laughed.

When I flew my last trip he thanked me and wished me well but no so much for the Saints with a smile and a handshake.

My position on “The Dirty Birds” will never change but Mr Blank is quality individual.

Re: Mike Evans Sounds Off On Saints

They just hate us because we shut them out and also shut them down nearly every game. Atlanta isn't relevant enough to bother hating anymore.

Re: Mike Evans Sounds Off On Saints

Wait till he sees the secondary this season!

Why would you like a team that has OWNED your ass for your entire NFL career? LOL
