Come Together....
..... Right Now.
It's time. I was gonna suggest this earlier, but we were buzzing and spewing hate in all directions. Please take a moment out of your day to write a short, hand-written note to Tag and the NFL office. Be concise, to the point and kind. Paul Tagliabue National Football League 280 Park Avenue New York, NY 10017 Put your 37 cents where your mouth is. :wink: 8) |
I think it is more important to come together at the game. To show undying support under the harshest of circumstances. To scream and cheer so loudly for the Saints that Tag loses his hearing for a day. To rattle the stadium --
That said I will be happy to send a note. Hows this :gun: :furious: :pokechop: :greengun: :biggun: seriously --- I will send one |

When I saw there were 61,000+ in attendance at Tiger Stadium, I spewed beer all over my living room. Given the circumstances, that was HUGE.
Something about actions and words, and one being stronger than the other, or something. |

RE: Re: Come Together....
I have already sent 2 letters to Tags today and will send at least 2 each week, until I get my damn way. Sorta like the movie Shawshank. He don't want to be messin with a brothers bootie if you know what I mean.

RE: Re: Come Together....
By the way this thread needs to stay at the top. We need to get 1000 letters per day going to Tags, even if they only say DON'T TOUCH OUR NEW ORLEANS SAINT'S! or maybe a mass mailing every week with something like the SOS Flyer and change up the message every week. Does anyone know someone at a print shop that has a folding machine. I will buy two reams of paper every week and pay the postage for 100 of them, if someone will print them and mail them. We can also get bulk rate at the post office if more than 500 pieces go to the same zip? I think that's right? I think if we pool our efforts we can maximize the affect. Send them to ESPN, CBS and Fox too. We need the publicity. Hey Tally thanks for the information and guys here are some more important addresses that we can use:
ESPN ESPN PLAZA BRISTOL, CT 06010 FOX SPORTS P. O. BOX 900 BEVERLY HILLS, CA 90213-0900 CBS SPORTS 25TH FLOOR 51 WEST 52ND STREET NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10019 We need to come up with a weekly theme for our flyer and get at least 20 hard core fans (the more the merrier) and split them up between the four addresses; NFL, ESPN, FOX and CBS who will agree to send 50 flyers each week to their designated address. We cannot stop fellas until this gets done. I am the first in line and I will take 100 of them. Who's next? Come on guys lets do this and do it right. It's for what we love and cherish. We cannot go gently into that good night!!!!!!!! |
RE: Re: Come Together....
Here's and idea for the first flyer:
Important Notice We have supported OUR TEAM like no other fans in the world. There are something’s in life more important than advertising dollars and the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS are one of them. You can’t have our Saint’s! This message brought to you by Black and Gold.net Where is everyone? |
RE: Re: Come Together....
OK, I can only say from the lack of response, it appears there is a lack of interest. I will still send my 2 or 3 letters a week.
|
RE: Re: Come Together....
Come on guys, if we lose the Saint's we have we may NEVER get another team.
I will do at least 100 flyers each week, 15 - 20 to each location mentioned above at my own expense. Hell, I will even fold the damn things too. You guys just vote on the theme of the weekly flyer and I will write it, set it up and mail my 100. All we need is another 10 to 20 people to step up and do the same. I originally thought if we pooled our resources we could get it done more efficiently. We also need to be thinking of a name, a regional name that will inspire others outside of New Orleans to support the team staying in New Orleans. If we come up with a real good one maybe Tags and everyone will see how much we want to keep "OUR SAINTS" by at least conceding the name New Orleans. Names such as, Louisiana Saints, Southeastern Saints, Gulf Coast Saints, New South Saints, Southern Saints, Coastal Saints, America's Saints or any other names we can come up with. We could even take the name and rotate it by state for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas. Sort of like rotating the national championship in college football every four years, but the guarantee is they will always be based out of New Orleans, the emblem is ours and the name Saints can never be used by another brother. Ha Ha, a little joke fellas. You guys know if we lose "OUR SAINTS" there is a very good likelyhood that we will never have another NFL team. Are all of you really willing to take that chance? I THINK NOT, AT LEAST NOT ME!!!!!!!!! The reason why I am still a member of this site (other than being kicked off of the other ones) is I see a group of individuals who are not scared of their own opinion or anyone elses, but now I fear all I am hearing is a bunch of guys complaining because they can? You guys might be upset with me because of previous posts or whatever, I apologize for the whatever, but don't sit back and wait for someone else to keep the Saints in New Orleans, frankly there is no one else that will help us. You know that time in your life, the time that you always dreamed you could make a difference. It is here guys and you cannot let it escape you or we will all regret it later. I am really embarrased that I haven't had one response to my posts. I didn't even start this thread. It's time that everyone put up or shut up. I'm going to put mine, up how about you? |

I will do 3 letters also... every week. One to each network. But, but but............ the letters had better be good. Also how about persuading the networks to show something GOOD FOR THE SAINTS. Seems to me that they always shows plays against the Saints (I know we have deserved much of it) and also recognize that we are on the field. Every bloody week the previews talk about the opposition - apparently the Saints cannot be playing. :evil: Every bloody week, highlights show opposition touchdowns - apparently the Saints never ever score any. :evil: |
Hey UK, thanks for the reply. Here is a nice little letter I wrote. You can use it all or part:
January 2, 2006 To: All Media Outlets From: Loyal Saints Fan Subj: Keep the Saints in Louisiana I am writing to all of you in regards to rumors that the Saints may be relocated to San Antonio or Los Angeles. You have the power to assist the loyal fans of the Saints, the city of New Orleans and the entire region. The New Orleans Saints organization will do nothing short of accelerating the region in its recovery. You must remember that the Saints have had few successes in their 38 years in New Orleans, but you will all have to admit that they have the most loyal fans on the face of the earth. Over 30 consecutive home sellouts for a losing team are pretty good? I know you all agree. Saints fans are proud of what they have and even what they don’t have. The Saints give their fans glimmer of hope in tragic times and they always will with your assistance. We do not want you to bash Tom Benson, that is his way, not ours. We are honorable men and women with honorable intentions. We want you to portray the Saints in a way that makes it impossible for them to move, ever. The New Orleans Saints organization will be the leader in the recovery of the region. It will give hope to a people who have suffered like no other and give faith to all fans that they will continue to do so for many years to come. The state of Louisiana has provided very large subsidies to the Saints organization for a few years now, in good faith and we only ask for the same. Report the news, but please report the whole story. The fans need a fair shake now more than ever and I have faith that you will help us. Sometimes the world doesn’t revolve around money, but a purpose. You have a chance to give back with nothing more than words and support. It won’t cost any of you a dime and just think you may get some more loyal watchers to your networks. You have a purpose now and it’s time to fulfill it. Not just for Saints fans, but for all fans everywhere and the love of all games, not just football. Signed, A Loyal Saints Fan Anyone and everyone that can at least send 1 letter to each media outlet mentioned above will have a direct impact on keeping the Saints in Louisiana forever. We need to the put pressure on now, when the tragedy that has occurred is still fresh in everyone's mind. |
I also found e-mail addresses for ESPN and NBC Sports and they are:
askespntv@espn.twdc.com sports@msnbc.com I will get ABC and Fox sports asap. |
Hey CheramieIII what is the Lists for is it just feedback for writers or what?
|
It's to make it easy to send e-mails to let everyone know that we want the Saints to stay in New Orleans even after next year and I figure the more pressure we put on until it's decided the better. Once we stop talking about we're toast.
|
Thanks D.
|
I will not stop sending letters until we know he have our team for good.
|
You got that shiiiiiiit right. I send one to the group I created at least once a week.
|
What? did you say
