I sometimes wonder if some of the generalized ragging on Roman Harper has something to do with this. Also Malcolm Jenkins who I believe played for Ohio State against LSU in the BCS Championship game. Not wanting to discuss those players here in this thread, but certain people do rag on these two Saints players, again and again and again, constantly. Repeat, I'm NOT WANTING TO DISCUSS THEM HERE, lol.

I have no real love for LSU in particular, but I do love it when LSU and Louisiana native guys do really well in the NFL. It's part of why I'm homeristic aboutTracy Porter (and I will say this, as an aside, Porter has kept his non-profit charity active in Louisiana, in spite of him moving to Denver, which people should like him for even if they don't like him as a player).
