Actually I didn't do anything. Mods took matters into their own hands. Canton has gone off the deep end chasing the White Whale before so I totally back the mods up.

Is Canton a frequenter of SaintsTrolls.com?

Seems like I remember that handle from the past when I was on the preschool Saints fan site where the "in crowd" wants to get into a measuring contest without anything to back it up...

I apologize to everyone in this thread. I make no secret about the fact that Canton simply pisses me off.

I don't like him. I don't like his arrogance. I don't like the way he attacks people as too stupid to understand. Everybody here watches football, and anybody can take just about any stat and spin it somehow.

I tend - no, I don't tend, I absolutely poke at Canton because I don't like him, but in my own defense I usually (but not always) wait for him to call or insinuate that someone is stupid because they don't agree with him.

He wasn't always like this, which is sad. If it's just me then you guys will have to forgive me. But I like the fact that, for the most part, people who post here tend to give value to the opinion of others. Generally speaking, we all get along and take ribbing from one another in stride.

So, perhaps what you are alluding to is that, we are typically good-natured, but have a low-tolerance for dumbass?

BTW, Geoffrey Peterson is hot.

LeSean McCoy, Cedric Benson, Marshawn Lynch, Ray Rice, Rashard Mendenhall and Steven Jackson can't really run against anyone?

Other than Marshawn, who was the ONLY RB to do well against us (and his team lost), we've shut everyone we've played down.... including these Pro-Bowl RB's from the last couple years, and All-Pro LeSean McCoy.

No need for an asterisk- just better research and not relying on a couple vague stats or generalizations.

You do know that it is not only about the RBs? There's much more that goes into a running offense than just the guy carrying the ball.

If you've been paying attention, the Saints have been shutting down Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson, and Michael Turner. The 49ers have one thing to hang their hat on. The Saints are more well rounded and, this should not be overlooked, they have recent experience winning the Superbowl.
