not a bad idea beast. i could be into that. i don't live around nola and i understand that a few players visit different places all over town on weeknights to meet and greet fans. i would be 1 there if i lived close. my dad went out his way back in the day to make sure my bros and i had some kind of connection to the saints players. it is a big deal as a fan.
