Any of you Saints fans have big plans for the weekend? Have any of you ever attended the local draft parties ? Every year when i listen to the draft on 870 am they say they're live at one place or another. I am seriously considering attending this year , if I can find out where it will be held. Would be nice to have a Black and Gold.net draft party ! What do you guys think ? :P
