The first domino. Hopefully of many.....

OK, so I guess Drew isn't gonna restructure? /[irritated sarcasm]

for me it is the persona most have built around Drew and his love for the saints, the city and the fans. i am not minimizing all that he has done one bit. just we as fans need a reality check on this persona we have dreamed up.

As silly as it is, most of us have unjustly put him on a pedestal so high that he needs an elevator obviously to reach it.

after all football is a business and the players want their money now. they could careless about guaranteed contracts and life long insurance. both of which would be huge for the lower range players. but that would mean the big dogs would have to surrender some bones. that is not going to happen. but they will change the rules to prolong their self indulgent life styles at the risk to team mates and the integrity of the game.

if they do care about their team mates or the game that much why should we as fans expect anything different.

i like Drew and have no issues with him. i am guilty of holding him to unacceptable standards. after all he is just a millionaire.

so i apologize for unjustly put him up there.

he now only needs a step stool to get up on the pedestal. it is not nearly as high as it once was.

that should make it easier for all us to accept them as the football player they are. for that is what they are and nothing more.

i am holding the elevator door just encase he changes his mind.

BTW: I think we're still going after a big time free-agent.

Yeah I do too, especially because of the release of PT and the attempt to move Lofton

Last year no one thought we'd make a splash and we signed Byrd to a mega contract. It's definitely a possibility. It'll be interesting to see what position it will be... I'm guessing linebacker. I'm also very interested in seeing how that San Fran ILB situation plays out.
