I do not see anyone offering anything past a 6th for either Thomas or Sproles.Teams know we are up against the cap will will probably have to cut them if we cannot trade

Also, a trading partner will see he's in the last year of his contract, 30+ in December - we might get a 7th at best, otherwise they'll wait till we release him because of the cap...


I spent 6 hours between Disnryland and Disney World websites in the last two days. It seems to have screwed with the left side of my brain.


Normally I'm a minimum 80% left.

Damn rat

well i agree with statement. they can have all the runnung downs but when Drew drops back to pass it is PT you want back there.

neither Ingram or Kirbey has shown the blocking or receiving skill needed to replace PT. PT is one of the best RB at picking up the blitz in the nfl. he has an uncoachable ability to read and diagnosis blitzes so quickly it can not go under sold.

If PT is cut/traded there is no replacement on the team.

as drew goes so do the saints

Yes it will, it also makes Brees/Paton commit to the run. Two favorite dumps will be gone.

My girls are 8 and 5. At 43 my lessons are only beginning.

Between Chucky and Mickey I'm developing a really deep seeded dislike for rodents over 4' tall.

Brother, check those children into the Neverland Club (or whatever PC correct program they call it now) for an hour and catch some quality time; multiple adults, video monitored, really nice...

IMPORTANT SHARED LIFE INFORMATION TO LAUGH AT SELF: My EX and I had the bright idea to bring my INLAWS along so we could get a break for some quality time...yeaaah

Instead of our daughter to placate (who won both Most Photogenic and Most Civilized Biped for Family Vacation 2005), we had Two in-laws + a sister-in-law to placate...

M*****F*****!!!

And in God's sense of Humour, He sent THIRTEEN of la familia for Hurricanne Katrina after they were washed out...

Yes, there is a screenplay in multi-feature development...

That was an expensive life lesson on multiple levels...

Just remember when you think you've got it bad...

Only problem is AP is banging the drum for Mike Vick...

Which I seaux hope Vick goes to the Vikqueens...

And to watch the joy of that purple train wreck would register a 6.9 on the Schadenfreude Scale...

Star players lobbying for personnel changes is like Hollywood Talking Heads opining on politics and taxes...

I say keep Sproles. Just rework his contract a little, along with Colston, trade Thomas (Colts, Rams, Jets) a lot of teams need an every down back. He's worth a 2nd or 3rd.

Sproles has lost a step, isn't the same since his concussions, Pierre is long in the tooth.... being feature back in the 25th ranked rushing, legendarily pass happy offense, is not going to garner much interest or turn a lot of heads, folks. Maybe Sproles because he is a name, but I don't think the Saints will get much for either of them, if they get any offers at all. We all love him here in NO, but out there in the real world, nobody really knows who Pierre Thomas is. He is not a "name." Without the black and gold goggles on, I don't see any other team giving up a lot to get him.
