And for your information, I do not drive home in silence again, and again, and again as you erroneously surmised. I spent the first leg of the trip this past Sunday not only in silence because of the outcome, but more so because I knew it was the final game of the season and it wouldn't be until next preseason that we would have the chance to experience the atmosphere of Saints football in the Dome. There were also late games on NFL Radio to make the time pass quicker.
And, not only do I know for a fact that I personally have no ability to affect the outcome of any off-season decisions, but I am also positive that you or any other fan have no ability to affect those outcomes, either. Believing you do is nothing more than lying to yourself. I don't fault you for wishing for those outcomes, nor wanting those outcomes. I don't disagree with many of those wants, either. If any of those desires of yours truly do come about it will be solely because it was the desire of those that truly have the ability to make the decisions. That is a fact. |

Re: Observations From the Saints' Loss to the Panthers
No. It is being grounded in reality, my friend. It is not wasting negative energy on futile dreams.

Re: Observations From the Saints' Loss to the Panthers
In ANY OTHER FIELD OF ENDEAVOR, ANY ONE... if the customer is dissatisfied, the service provider is obligated to make any and all necessary adjustments to bring satisfaction. Your satisfaction (complacency) with what has just transpired, culminating in you just happily sitting back to "see what happens", tells your service provider (Team management) to "Just keep doing what you're doing". I cannot thank you for that.

Re: Observations From the Saints' Loss to the Panthers
Once again, Sinner, I applaud you for wanting what you want for our Saints. I would be pleased with much of it myself. But believing that you can personally assist in bringing about any of the changes yourself is ... I really can't even label it, honestly.

You can simply label it the Supply and Demand of "Business Ethics", or Quantum Physics if you like. You get exactly what you demand. |
