Drink all night on the riverwalk -- walk back to the hotel -- walk to the games etc.

2nd -- I am afraid the Saints are history. There will not be enough of a population to support a football team for years. Sad but true -- It kills me to think that way -- but I cannot think of any other possibility right now.

3rd -- Benson is an insensitive jerk. At least wait until the season is over to publicly state your true intentions. I am with Nagin -- we want the Saints back not the owner. I would sue him if he used the Saints name or the uniforms on another team. Make him pay for a whole new design and name.

1. I hate Texas. Doesn't disprove your point, but its just my opinion.

2. Just because New Orleans natives are scattered around the state doesn't mean they won't attend games. I was born and raised 3 hours away from New Orleans and that didn't stop anyone from taking me to Saints games. They'll just need more state-wide support.

3. I agree.

I'd say let let San Antionio have em... call them something else take the players take the owner but give us our logo and out name, give us a team in 2-3 years and let LA have one to damn it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put San Antoino Vato Loco's in the sam division as the new New Orleans Saints... I can hear the battle cry now... REMEMBER NEW ORLEANS... screw the alamo.

I can see it now. The New, New-New Orleans' Saints Vs. The San Antonio Vatos Locos (Sorry, I really couldn't think of a better name)

(QB) Aaron Brooks, who has 2 TD passes and 7 INTs in his last 3 games will lead the underacheiving Vatos Locos against their number 1 division rival, the New Saints. The Vatos inconsistency has been the reason for their mediocre 4-4 record. Last week, they commited 4 turnovers and 15 penalites in a disapointing effort as they lost to the Arizona Cardinals (3-5) 35-3.

The New Orleans Saints, however, are the talk of the league. With their great draft this offseason and A+ free agent acquistions, they are sitting at the top of their division with a 6-2 record. The Saints biggest win coming last week against the defending champions, Indianapolis Colts (7-1). New Orleans handed Peyton Manning his worst defeat of his career in a 64-10 ball game.
