I can barely stand to listen to sports radio or read about sports anymore, because lil' asoles like this Larry Holder.

Have any of you, ever, went thorugh a rough period, being a divorce, a death, unemployment, whathaveyou, and just didn't want to talk about it? Why is it any different with athletes? So Reggie is going to a rough spot and doesn't want to talk about it. So what? Do we really need to hear how the Saints are going to miss Deuce? Don't we all know that already?

So Karney cried. Ok. Karney cried last year at the home opener and cried during the playoff win. So the kid is very emotional. Do all Saints players need to cry also?

And this business about the dinner party: 1st, is hearsay. A columinst in Yahoo sports - those Pulitzer prize winners - referenced a column where they wrote... did you verify it was true, Holder? Or just decided to "reference" the column and didn't even bothered to check if it was true or not? And if it was true, did you attempted to learn why was it that Bush didn't attend?

As for making all those commercials and flying around the globe, does Holder realize that a lot of the companies that use Bush in their commercials are the same companies that have shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars to help New Orleans rebuilding effort - you know, GM, Adidas, etc - and they did so to secure Reggie as a spokesperson?

No. It is just easier to act all offended and criticize someone because he didn't feel like talking.

RIGHT ON TOBIAS!!! This is nit-picky bulls****!! Karney and Reggie are two different people (and both west-coasters Hagan). How were Reg and Deuce so close last year and so eager to help each other according to the media and now this crap??

We win - all this sh** goes away. Bottom line. And we WILL win.

I mean Mare, maybe yeah, but REGGIE?? Don't do to this kid what we did to Ricky Williams.

I agree
Although I personally don't think Reggie is ready to, Quote "BE THE MAN" nor do I think he is going to be the "end all be all" problem solver of this team I say that that article was uncalled-for and distasteful

and your right the same thing happened to Ricky Williams (not that I’m defending that pot head) but he came in and we had no “O” line to speak of and couldn’t get it done because of that fact and everyone wanted to hang the guy

Has anyone noticed a lot of players have come and that were supposed to be sooo gooood but yet we still didn't have good years?
So time passed and we traded them and once they were traded they were big players for other teams?
Then you sit back and scratch your head thinking “what the hell??? Why was he not that productive when he was here?”
It’s actually an easy answer
It’s because (for some messed up reason that is beyond my comprehension) we have always taken player simply because his stats are high and some good team has let him go.
Now on one hand he may be good on paper but that doesn’t mean that he isn't on the down side of his career, has a bad dissipation, or that he will do well with the particular style of play we are using that season.

The top teams around the league will tell you that their scouts are well versed with the teams playing and coaching styles and they don’t just go for a guy because he is "top dog" but rather because he will work well with their team because he plays in the same style of play that they run and he will truly benefit the team as a player; thus making the team stronger as a whole.

Then, on top of that we (the fans) have always expected that player to be the end all be all solution to the problem and if they didn’t fit you specific style of play in the first place then in most cases they can make matters worse.

As far as Reggie goes, things will get better if we start building an "O" that will block for him
