Optimist vs Pessimist
People love to complicate things.
First off ... When someone tells me Brooks\' turnovers is what has kept this team from the playoffs, then I have to take that into consideration. But, I have to compare those turnovers to SOMETHING. It has got to be put into some kind of \"context\". If Delhomme can turn the ball over MORE than Brooks and the Panthers can go to the superbowl, then I have to really question whether or not Brooks\' turnovers have been the problem. The difference between Jake and Aaron\'s turnovers is Jake had a defense that could minimize the damage and Aaron had a defense that couldn\'t stop anyone. Simple, huh? Yup ... but we got folks that want to bend and stretch the truth. Or flat out make false statements. Now, some of you guys can complicate things and make Brooks out to be the \"failure\" of this team. Do what you want. It makes no difference to me. [Edited on 9/4/2005 by GumboBC] |

Line up 20 losers and I\'ll bet you all 20 are Pessimists. Line up 20 winners and I\'ll bet you all 20 are Optimists. But I\'ll bet you all 20 pessismists will claim they\'re simply realists! |

Optimist vs Pessimist
Wasn\'t referring to you Danno....
I don\'t know that your guess is accurate. I was successful at every level in which I participated in athletics - including winning multiple State Championships in HS and placing respectably at the Division I level. By all accounts, I was classified as a \"winner\" in my athletic career. I\'m labeled a pessimist around here b/c I continue to think the Saints will be 8-8 with this staff until they prove me wrong. But I guess by your account I\'m a \"loser\"... Ask Billy what he won, and see if it holds true. |

I\'m referring to those that harp on everything negative and refuse to acknowledge anything positive. Such as, Saints sign player X. The pessimist will compile a list of negatives associated with this player, and completely ignore the positives, and claim he\'s just being realistic. They usually live in a van down by the river. |

But, the way I see it, some of you guys dwell on the past way too much. Now , not making the playoffs for 4-years is good reason to be weary of this team. But some of you take Saints\' bashing to a whole new level. And you come to a Saints\' fan board to do it. No one wants to hear that stuff all the time. If I wanted that I could go to a Falcon board. |

Well, obvious falsehoods have to be exposed, and this is becoming an almost daily occurence. Strikes no nerve with me. I guess I can\'t have the every guy is a hall of famer who wears black and gold motto Danno. Hope it works out for ya. How\'s it been so far?
