For over 40 years I kept saying that I wanted the Saints to win it all one time before I died. They finally did in 2010. And a few years later our name finally came up for season tickets after a 15 year wait. At this point in my life I just want to be able to go to games in the Dome and feel like we have a good chance of walking away with a win. Another championship would be great, but to me it isn't as important as being able to be competitive week in and week out. The fun of being a loyal fan is more important than winning it all. Going through dismal seasons again with the feint hope of someday becoming dominant would be at the very least a huge letdown.

The simple fact is that you nor any of your flunkies can have any impact on this season whatsoever. The perpetual complaining has ruined the site. Any time anyone tries to simply talk about the team either you or one of the flunkies have to hijack the thread to start up yet another ***** session. I agree with the others that this has gotten beyond tolerable. Why don't y'all go find somewhere else, anywhere else, to gripe non-stop?
To the vast majority of fans, winning championships is much more important than being .500. Especially when the team has already won a championship and gone deep into the playoffs, settling for merely .500 is regression. I can't help it that you may die soon and that the possibility of the team taking a high risk high reward bet is frightening to you. But all the younger fans should not have to give up the chance at the team winning a ring because of your fragile constitution.

Fans like me love our team so we want succeed. You are afraid of our team, so you are against taking a chance where they could embarrass you for a year. Sorry if I want the Saints to conquer the world, not just tread water. Your dream for the Saints is basically the Falcons the last 20 years. Competitive without rings, with a limited QB.

And you have every right to feel the way you do. But you, and your flunkies, don't have to come in here and destroy every thread with your same monotonous rhetoric. It accomplishes NOTHING beyond forcing all of the other members to wade through your waist deep crap just searching for season relevant content.

Make a thread titled "We hate Loomis, Allen, Carr, and anything else current Saints" and post all of your constant vitriol there so we can simply avoid it. Post away to your hearts content. Believe me, it will be better than being loathed by all the other forum members.

How about you stop telling people what to do and where to go, and learn how to scroll on (since your IGNORE function is in the same state of disrepair as our Saints)? If you grow up and/or grow a pair, you’ll live longer.

Because you are everywhere, as exhibited by this exact post. Neither of them were talking to you. But because it's Guido, you just had to inject yourself into the conversation doing the exact same thing, specifically telling people what to do, as Guido is.

And again you can't go a single solitary post, including this one, without trashing the Saints.

So, Guido is right here. Make a single trash the Saints thread, and everyone like you that gets off on that and go to town.

But you don't want to do that. If you did that, then we wouldn't all be miserable. And since your objective is clearly to have everyone on this board as miserable as you are about the Saints, it'll never happen.

I’ve done it, a few actually. You can scroll (and have scrolled) to find them, and we can continue this discussion in any thread you prefer. I’ve got some time.

Why do you need a few threads for you main points:

1. Allen sucks and needs to be fired.
2. Carr was an awful overpaid pickup.
3. Loomis has the entire organization in disarray.
4. The current Saints suck and will be terrible in 2024.

You can have 1 single thread and cut and paste this each and every day along with whatever national media piece of the day that echos any of those points.

The real problem is that if anyone, anywhere here post anything other than those points, you are immediately there to "correct it" by dumping these points in that thread. That's what's got to stop.

Could we do the opposite? If we create a sunshine pumper's thread, will you stay out of it? I note that this exact thread is supposed to be one of those.Yet, here you are.

I'm somewhat misrepresenting my position. I don't really want the complaining to stop. But I do want the heckling, which is complaining in every thread that is not a complaint, to stop.

How can we do that?
