Mediocrity. Sad .

Nope. Not okay with it. I never once said I was. I hope for better. I will continue to wait and see what, if anything is done, one way or another. It's all I can do. It's all ANY of us can do. Constantly *****ing and moaning about it does nothing more than bruising one's own Life Force.

(Thanks, Sinner, I like the Life Force nomenclature!)

My "Life Force" nomenclature is derived from Martial Arts, where the "enemy" is allowed to exhaust all of its negative energy, which we pretty much devoted this past season to - But then that enemy must be neutralized, before it can do any further damage. Your spilling 15 grand on season tickets, driving for 5 hours while wearing the Black and Gold, only to get punched in the face repeatedly, and then drive silently back home, again and again and again, while believing yourself to be powerless to have any effect on the outcome, is not the proper use of the "Life force" nomenclature.

I believe I have a better understanding of my Life Force than do you, Sinner. It is my business if we worked our asses off for our whole lives that spending $5K on season tickets and $10K on lodging and other expenses is no large investment and gives us joy. 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.
