The Saints players weren't the only one that didn't show up Monday night at the superdome for the Eagles game. Did anyone notice? There was no sign of that goofy looking Gumbo guy in the mutt costume. Maybe the Elvis impersonator snagged him. Who knows? Has he been terminated? Is he holding out for more money? Is the team planning on doing something different this year? I for one think he looks stupid. The only thing worse was the Mambo character. As bad as it was though, at least it had a tie in with New Orleans with the Mardi Gras theme. Tradition? O.K. The original St. Bernard mutt laying on the sideline named GUMBO is something all Saints fans remember. But what does a dog from St. Bernard have to do with New Orleans? Might be what has dogged this franchise for all these years. How about we come up with a new mascott that is more identified with the Saints. I have a few ideas. Does anybody else?

1. SaintNik.........Who else but me on the sideline? A guy named Saint. I could make every sunday feel as if it were christmas day with just my presence alone.

2. An Angel........How about a little hottie in a shear outfit with tights on, a halo on her head and a magic wand in her hand and a bit of magic dust to use when needed.

3. Moses.......Who better to lead us to the promised land?

4. St. Peter........Who do we expect to let us in once we arrive?

5. Chris Owens......This ageless wonder will be around forever singing the blues.

You may cast your vote or submit other choices. Just remember. A vote for me not only will help the team score more points but will score some for you as well.
