The Island of Misfit Toys
 

I'm not sure if this has been posted or not, so mods feel free to delete or move it if it has. I thought this was a pretty interesting article about the "castaways" or "never will be" players on the Saints offense. Long read, but worth it.

Bill Barnwell on how the Saints became dominant - Grantland

The Island of Misfit toys what is this Spy Kids lol

Re: The Island of Misfit Toys
 

Good article, but I was hoping there would be another page for the defensive castoffs that we've had success with despite other teams reluctance ... Vilma, Sharper, Fujita, Greer.

I'm also surprised there was no mention of Shockey. He was a key contributor for the SB run and Graham's protege.

No, dude. Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer! Know your role and learn your Christmas cartoons! :p

Some of the toys there flat-out sucked.

Re: The Island of Misfit Toys
 

Since Free Agency there are a lot of misfits floating around.

Re: The Island of Misfit Toys
 

Meh, it was 1964 ... Atari PONG hadn't even come out yet, :lol:.

Re: The Island of Misfit Toys
 

It was 1964... Cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers, and the finger gun, the shape of a craft single after spending time with a 6 year old, didn't cause global terror.

The pussification had yet to begin.

Re: The Island of Misfit Toys
 

This was a great article. He told the story beautifully.

Re: The Island of Misfit Toys
 

Good read, and so appropriate for a New Orleans team. That's why the team is such a fit with the city.

Re: The Island of Misfit Toys
 

Excellent read. Really enjoyed it, thanks.
