On a semi-related note, I think I'm starting to learn a survival skill in today's world - more and more I'm thinking it's best to just watch the games I want to watch and pay little mind to all the drama and sports talk and conjecture. I am beginning to understand my fault in this.

Early in the season, I spent way too much mental energy on Sean Payton's coaching struggles and a few other issues surrounding the team. Likewise, as a Lakers fan I've paid too much attention to the LaVar Ball drama. By now I know I don't like the guy and that he's going to continue acting like a dip**** ... there's no point in reading about or wondering what the Lakers could/should do about it. The Lakers are big boys, they'll have to figure it out.

My focus going forward to keep my opinions brief and try to enjoy life more. And certainly I don't judge or begrudge any of you still actively supporting the Saints - everyone has their own hot buttons and opinions and ways of seeing things. Take care guys, don't let this thread get too negative.
