got a head coach??? hahahaha now thats funny

You know, I actually have to respect this guy for having the cajones to talk smack despite losing their MLB to us, having him say that, and even after losing our head coach, and potentially half of our defense, and the fact that they hate us right now ESPN still thinks we are better than the Falcons (#11 vs #13)

I will say though that Lofton's comments were clearly not directed at you, but there are not a whole lot of true fans in Atlanta. I lived there for 5 years and it was pretty clear the number of actual sports fans was very slim.

Have to agree. I spent a few days in Atlanta a couple of months ago and wore my Saints hat everywhere. A bunch of people told me how much they liked the Saints. The only guy that gave me a hard time...was a Steelers fan.

I mean its a buisness baby, yea he was a very good LB but he wasnt our best so will bounce back!

what's funny is apparently we are better at the "business" than the Falcons. We had less cap space, but yet we got him signed...

If you call over paying better at the buisness then so be it...we gave him a set offer due to him not being that good in coverage and he went where he could get more, so if you guys paid him more then 5/6mill "God Bless Ya!!"

|Mitch| · 03-25-2012, 01:46 PM

how do you know what we paid? Contract terms have not been released

Keep trying to make yourself feel better...

Which I rebutted, you have no idea, contract terms have not been released... but since we had less cap space than the Falcons, it can't be that much more than what you offered...

lost a hockey team, no one goes to playoff BB games, more away fans come when Braves make the playoffs, and oh yeah, at the Saints game last year there were easily 1500 empty seats, and 4-5000 saints fans there.

Lofton chose a city that loves its team, not this fair weather craphole
