It is old for them as well. Some fans can not walk into the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, stare at 200 dead younglings, and find solace in the architectural ambiance.
Trust me when I say that it is frustrating to look past a dead youngling only to find another. The dawn of optimism struggles to show its face as long as the Skywalker genes present the possibility of another dark period in Saints cannon.

While the next season may indeed bring a New Hope, that path will need to be illuminated before optimism rears its deceiving head. Optimism can be a great power when married with a pragmatic explanation of how things will change rather than just proclaiming that they will or can.

Fun times with your Star Wars themed Saints critique.

I recently wrote an article for my Fire Mickey Loomis site in a Game of Thrones theme:

Dead Cap, Zombie Cap, and Mickey Loomis: The Night King of the Salary Cap

the conclusion:

In the Game of Thrones, the Night King lives far north of the wall. Rather than letting his mortal subjects rest in peace, he uses dark magic to resurrect the dead and dismembered as white walkers, undead zombies who plod around his kingdom doing his bidding and bringing sorrow to the living. But as the long night approaches he marches south to cross the wall and terrorize the kingdoms of men. As General Manager of the New Orleans Saints, Mickey Loomis is a self styled salary cap wizard. For most of the year he lives far north of the upcoming years salary cap, but as the new league year approaches he uses his dark salary cap magic to maneuver south of the cap, breaking down walls to cover as much territory as it takes in no time at all. He resurrects anticipated dead cap by restructuring the contracts of ineffective and dismembered players to turn dead cap into Zombie Cap, yielding long terms commitments to players with degenerative knee conditions who plod around the field as cap zombies, bringing sorrow to the kingdom of Saints fans. Every year, Loomis's army of cap zombies grows, and few contracts set to expire are allowed to rest in peace. Mickey Loomis is more than just a salary cap wizard, he is The Night King of the Salary Cap. And when a team can't afford to move on from players who play 10 games in 3 years, only beat XFL quality competition, or are due $25 million a year with a degenerative knee condition, etc, and the team is already $50 million over the 2025 salary cap before the 2024 season has ever started, you better believe that winter is coming, unless Mickey Loomis is soon banished beyond the walls of the Saints facility.

You wish. I'm not as unbalanced as you needing a "real" personal website thinking people actually give a crap.

Edit: I suppose there might be a half a dozen or so basement dwelling troglodytes that find your site "swell".

Lots people have sites for firing sports figures:

https://watchstadium.com/who-owns-fi...es-09-03-2019/

It's all in good fun.

You are not balanced. Do you really think we will go 34-0 every year so 17-0 is your middle ground?

Also, I am glad to hear that Dennis Allen might like my site. Dude is nothing if not a basement dweller.

Yup. There's definitely some dweebs out there.

Nope. I know we only play 17 games a year.

I have predicted we will go undefeated every year since I can remember. It goes well back before the beginning of your medium for self-infatuation. It is nothing more than my ever present optimistic outlook. I know the chances of any team going undefeated are in infinitesimal. I've always thought predicting records was folly. There are too many factors that take affect after the season begins. I see why people enjoy it, but it means nothing. So I throw out my equally meaningless 17-0, 19-0, or 20-0 every year, as well.

As for your site fans, I think Mike Cerullo is more your speed.

It's folly if you suck at it.
