The Official "Show Harper (and Hartley) Some Love" Thread

[Mardigras9]

Never had a problem with Harper.

Hartley, on the other hand, I already ate a plate of hot crow on another thread about him. He gets no love until he proves he can be consistent, especially when the pressure is really on.

No matter what Hartley does from here on, he made the kick that put us in the Super Bowl - a moment that brought this grown man to tears. I fell down onto the floor, grabbed my dog, and cried like a baby. Then I went outside and barked at the moon - me and my dog. The dog passed away sadly.

It was a moment - one of THOSE moments. We all felt it. It was his kick that did it. Never in the history of sports was a man under as much pressure as he must have been for that kick - short of the gladiators I mean.

No. I could never hate on him. I'll always pull for him. He hit the kick that gave me one of the greatest moments in my life. I love me some Hartley!

I like Roman Harper. I've seen him knock. I've seen him get knocked. But he's down there knockin, and getting back up.

He's nice in interviews, always smiling. He's stronger than you and and can run faster than you, and is better than any other safety we've had for the last 5 or 6 years, which is why he starts. He exercises every day, (unlike you and me,) plays through pain most people would cry from, and he trys very, very hard. He wears a Saints uniform, and seems to like us fans. And he has gray hair like me. Of course I like Roman Harper.

SLAM BAM! This is the answer.
There needs to be more grattitude among us armchair jocks.

I can deal with Hartley's metrosexualness, just like I am acclimating to all them damn tattoos on Vaccaro. He still isnt allowed to date my daughter, but he's impressing me on the field.
