Don't play the Hall of Fame Game

QBREES9 · 05-10-2012, 11:48 AM

Let them play !

Definitely play the game, because they need all the extra evaluation material they can get on some of these players and the schemes used, and more than that, I wanna watch that game for once.

On one hand; I would like for the Saints to come out of the tunnel butt naked and go to mid field with a sign that says, "HEY Mr. Goodell...." and all the Saints flipping him off. (But I hold grudges)

On the other hand; I want them to whip the dog mess out of everybody we play this year. Like SaintBro said, I want stupid crazy scores like, 88-3, 70-0, 64-7. No easing up off the gas pedal. Make teams KNOW how good we are! I want Sports Center to get tired of talking about us! I want the 72 Dolphins to bring our players champaigne and for "Mercury" Morris to be the person who delivers it!

That would be my pregame speech, I guess.

I agree Rugby. throughout the history of injustice in America... the only way change was enacted was when extreme measures were taken. From the Revolutionary War to the Civil rights movement. But, that was a long time ago... America is full of wussies now. We buy cell phones and Ipads and pills that will help us lose weight. But I get it... we want to make life easier. Blend in. Status Quo. Eventually we will all go with the flow, and believe in what ESPN spits at us things will be back to normal again. Yet, In five, ten fifteen years everyone will still call the Saints cheaters (like we still do the Pats) and though we will hopefully have another Super Bowl title... we will have done nothing about it. Citing... class

Soap Box over.

I tell you what I would love to see. I would love to see someone pop the crap out of one of our opponents, and then have someone like RH walk over to him in front of everybody and pull a Benjamin out of his pants and hand it to the guy. Now that would be funny.

IDK, I think I'd like to see you guys play the game, and in those infamous words of Martez Wilson that I so often see in FinSaint's signature tag, "don't be thinking at all, just go out there and play your balls out" ... of course, if the coaching staff thinks it's best to treat it as an additional pre-season game in order to evaluate talent & prepare for the regular season, I'm Ok with that also.

Found it as of 2011: Now in your head think about all the teams that get air time either radio, news, commentary etc when you go through this list.

We'll just agree to disagree but if anything this offseason has driven that spike of either your with us or against us a lot deeper in me ....

For some strange reason the Saints tend to play better when they are underdogs and none of the media puppets talk about them, I just can't wait for the season to start

Well LOl I sort of can.... The amount of sheer frustration we will have to endure with scrub refs making bad calls if there is a strike may be unbearable.
