Re: Charles Grant mad at Saints fans!

A bunch of fans excoriating a football player for expressing his opinion. The justification for this is the right of the fans to express their opinion.

Hypocrite much?

If it is a fans right to boo it is certainly a player's right to express his opinion. His opinion is that booing when a team is 13-2, division winner and headed for a playoff bye week is demoralizing. A valid point of view.

I think anyone who would boo in that situation is probably an LSU fan and as such may need this link to understand this post.

This may also be helpful.

me. Two jobs. In one, ratings, and surveys determine how good my kids eat. In the other I'm in the room with you, and yep, I've been boo'ed. Its been a long time, as usually I get cheers and "I love you man" treatment. But as Strato and Paul know, there are plenty of jerks. I get this:

Dumbass: "When are you gonna play something good?"
Me: (thinking, "Wow, well now I'm motivated to do something for you, a$$hole.") (but saying:) "What should we play that you think everybody here would like?"
Dumbass: "Duh, I dont know, just something good."
Me: "No no, I need an artist and a title." What can I play for the crowd
that everyone will enjoy as much as you?"
Dumbass: "Uhhhh... I cant think of anything... just play something..."
Me: "So give me a genre, what kind of song would we all like to hear?" (cuz, obviously, youre an expert)
Dumbass: "ooooh... um? play... S&ck My **** Motha****** B**** by Babydaddy & tha Felons"
Me: "I dont think the bride's grandma will like that."
Dumbass: "Oh yeah."
Me: "Try again."
Dumbass: "How bout Freebird?"
Me: "um, o... k... so whats your name?"
Dumbass: "huh?"
Me: "name."
Dumbass: "Skeeter"
Me: (on mic) "Ok, everyone Skeeter says you all want to hear Freebird."
Crowd: "Booooooooooo!"
Dumbass: "Oh, ok, just play whatever you think will work."
Me: "Thats why Im the DJ." (I dont come to McDonalds and tell you how to make fries.)

Dont come to me saying, "Play something good," like a douchebag. Ask for a song, and I'll do it--- but be prepared to put your name on it.

ok, that story was free. Back to the point. If you shout crap at the players, dont cry about their lack of "loyalty" when they sign with another team, and then come back and kick our a$$. Dont get mad when they say, well this is business. Yep.

There's a reason the Manning kids didnt want to play in New Orleans. Archie saw the way some of us treated Hebert--- a local guy who bled black and gold, who shed blood on the field, but was occasionally--- human. I was disappointed in some of the stuff I heard from the stands. Honestly, if it were me, I would have done a stronger gesture than "airplane arms." (In reality, he was directing that at Saints management, not us.) Nor do I blame Michael Vick for flipping off the fans who shouted stuff at him.

Dont misunderstand me. We are the greatest fans in Football. Collectively, we are the greatest fans in all of Sports. The majority of the Dome is great people, just like most of my crowd rocks, as do 98% of my brides--- who are complete DOLLS.

Its just that some of us insist on acting like monkeys. That is why there will always be a fence between us and them. Thats why you cant come in my booth.

Re: Charles Grant mad at Saints fans!

Anyone think they fans could have been booing at the refs?

Remember the 4th down timeout from Raheem Morris? Yeah, I'm not so sure that was called before the snap.... Watch the replay.

Remember Meachem's catch at the first down marker? How close was it? Yeah, maybe there should have been a review...

And I'm sorry, but Tampa running the ball on you NINE STRAIGHT TIMES for a field goal in OT would make anyone boo.

I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying I can understand MANY reasons for the boos.

Re: Charles Grant mad at Saints fans!

true fans dont boo or leave early

For me, I enjoy football much more not knowing or caring what anybody makes. *Me too, but with big salary comes big responsibilty, just like in the world of business. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Are you really paying 100 a ticket? Damn, you need to come sit with me in the Terrace, dude. Save that $$. great view, great fans, more violence. *Actually $95. I have 2 in 641 and 2 in 110. We usually sit down low so my old man can see, but will be in the 600's for the PO's

dont be mad, I'm not serious.

*You're not and I'm not. Was Grant?

Re: Charles Grant mad at Saints fans!

The team should have been booing themselves after the first quarter. Unexcusable to lose to a 2-12 team. Grant acts like he's proud of himself. He's been totally undeserving of his salary, as usual. Hopefully the team will finally cut their losses with him and find another end to compliment Smith.
