Where's Saintz08?

Did you just get home from happy hour again?

Actually, had just got back from a card game. Yes, I ALSO should have my internet privilages taken away when I\'ve been drinking. Not that I was wrong, I just could have used a little more tact.

By the way, what does your sister look like?

The problem for Benson was not that the trade was made or weather or not it was the right thing to do as much as Mueller did\'nt let Him in the loop on this decision or any others.

There was something else there, and while there may be some truth to the above statement, I don\'t think you can pinpoint any one reason. I make changes that effect million dollar contracts for multi-million dollar companies, and I\'m not getting fired for it. Sure, I get questioned as to why we changed the configuration, but I\'m not losing my job. You put people in positions that they are qualified for. But the NFL is not just any business. People don\'t buy a NFL franchise to make money, this is like a grown man\'s video game. Some will make a little, a few will break even. The only time they will see any major profit, is when they turn around and sell the team. So I can see both sides of the coin.

There is no cut-and-dry answer. However, many close to the Saints feel that one of the main reasons Mueller was let go is because of the manner in which he dealt with defensive end Joe Johnson\'s contract negotiations.

Johnson said he was extremely close to signing a multi-year deal with the Saints, but then Mueller put a stop to negotiations. A few days later, the Pro Bowl end signed a $33 million deal with the Packers. Many in New Orleans feel that this shocked owner Tom Benson and that his decision to fire Mueller was a result of Johnson\'s departure.

Think real hard where all this speculation came from. Do you remember? This conspiracy theory was created by Joe Johnson during an ESPN interview.

I said this before, and I\'ll say it again, I\'m glad he\'s gone. Hey, I have a bridge to sell you, you interested? Hey, if I said I have it, it must be true, right?

The thought that Benson has somehow black balled Mueller seems a little off to me , Mueller was in line for the dirty bird job and Blank thought differently after the meeting .

Actually, Mueller interviewed for the job, he wasn\'t in line for the position.
And Connell was one blemish on an otherwise steller career. What Randy did in bringing in who he did makes the Connell incident insignificant. Dale Carter, Jerome Pathon, Jake Reed, Victor Riley, Spencer Folau, Joe Horn, Aaron Brooks, Deuce McAllister, Sedrick Hodge....
