You guys are so much more down to earth and reasonable. While you guys are discussing truely attainable draft prospects and FA this delusional crap is what most fans truly believe. Not just on that board but I see a ton of this crap on FB groups .

I’ve learned so much on here, thanks guys.

Armstead traded to the Redskins for the #2 pick and then we trade Kamara, #2 pick and #24 pick for the #1 pick. :rofl:

Why the hell would the Redskins trade the #2 pick for Armstead?!

Re: Why I love this forum
 

I love this forum too, cause people will actually accept a differing opinion, even if it's critical of Sean Payton, Loomis or even Brees. The same can't be said over there. I like posting here and being able to laugh with you guys. Forums like this should be fun, not something taken seriously.

I was banned over there after the 2018 NFCCG loss for trying to have an actual sane conversation about what went wrong with our play calling and the game itself while everyone was bellyaching about the non-call. Ironically, the ones making snide comments and demanding anyone disagreeing with them is some paid troll working for Roger Goodell, weren't punished. But you get banned for not going along with the popular opinion that it was some conspiracy cause we crapped the bed in crunch time.

SR also has the largest sway of Brees apologists; whom I'm convinced sometimes are only fans of the team cause of Brees himself and have little regard for QBs in our past. These fans will defend Brees vehemently, always comparing him to other HOF QBs, and then contradicting themselves when they start criticizing those other QBs for the same kind of playoff failures Brees has endured. If Brees left this team, they would do like the Colts 'fans' who followed Manning to Denver.

Whether we agree on opinions or not at the end of the day, we love our Saints. Criticizing them don't make you some bad fan, it's cause we want them to do better.

#139 pages of Joe Burrow/Saints trade scenario talk?

Good grief. Some of those guys need to let it g e a u x.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Yawn. You are so awesome.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Don't ever visit that site so I don't know. It is nice that stupid ideas are allowed here. I agree.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Re: Why I love this forum
 

I don't visit other Saints forums; even the two years I wasn't on here, I still didn't visit any other Saints forums.

The views and opinions here are as diverse as the members them selves.. Visiting another board is not going to give me any more qualitative discussion.

If I agree with any of you, it doesn't mean that I like you... same with disagreeing wit you, still doesn't mean that I like you.:):bng::clown:

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Yea right. I bet you have 40 different accounts there. If not you should, every time you pm’d a mod over there they would ban any member you whine about when you get your panties in a wad.

I got banned for saying the words Reggie Bush isn’t an every down back. That all I said, just those words. I wasn’t being a smart ass like normal, wasn’t slamming the guy, just those 7 words.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Nope. Just the one account same as this one many, many years ago.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

We get along very well here at the bng. Those guys over at SR argue all the time and are a bunch of antagonists. Screw them. Long live the bng! :bng:

Re: Why I love this forum
 

It’s a mob and clique mentality there too. If you go against popular opinion then you have 100 people either make fun of what you said or prove how wrong you are. I’m on their EE board but just stay away from their ssf page. Get the info here minus the BS. Like I’ve said there is a country club, over here is like your local hangout

Re: Why I love this forum
 

+1 Facts.

There are some good folks over there but I agree, it's a mob mentality when you are too outspoken and disagree on certain players.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Who TF is “Coach Pete”?

That was tough to read

Re: Why I love this forum
 

That is pretty much how all forums that are active work, with the biggest difference being the aggression/hostility level and general board IQ.

If we all agreed or didn't disagree a thread would be a single post with 127 likes. If someone's opinion is not the popular or majority opinion then they should expect healthy debate from multiple sources.

I have owned and moderated multiple forums from sports, to gaming, to cars... the subject matter changes but the rest is similar.

Debate between people with an open mind is healthy and educational. It gets sideways when people have ownership of an idea, an agenda, or go ad hominem.

I like it here, I know who knows what, who the stat guys are, the theory guys, and who played what... I know who to walk away from because they have a chip, and who to poke at because they have a sense of humor. :bandg:

Re: Why I love this forum
 

I was wondering the same. Someone mentioned something about a personal trainer lol but I’m dying to know.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

This board, overall seems to have posters about 20 years older on average, who seem to have jobs, and not live in their mother's basements. But that really doesnt apply to everyone at site-X, just the loudest. You can tell by the 15 year old comic-nerd vocabulary of their prominent members. (I wonder if they still "pwn" each other?) I dont know. It may have changed. I know the political hate was insufferable, even before politics heated up.

It just caught me off guard, because I come from a time, when if you were a Saints fan, anyone else brave enough to be seen in Saints stuff was automatically your friend. The internet, and its ugly, was new to me. I come to this board here and I find grownups who had nothing to prove, and had a sense of humor, and they got mine.

Im different from the rest of the posters here, now, because I know very little of college prospects, if anything. I cant name the whole roster. I dont know the 40-times of each player, or all the various nuances of coverage, zones, etc.

My knowledge is mostly retro- I can name the 84 O-line, and I have a list of the saddest losses in our history- most of my knowledge is historic. Im also interested in stories from our older posters about Tulane stadium, and training camps past. I once had lunch with former Saint All Pro Tommy Myers, who played in the 70s, and he had a wealth of stories, some I cant tell.

As some of you know, I sometimes organize real life events with us-- we've had a crawfish party every year for 10 years. Our tailgate parties in Houston are legendary, and I've traveled with the team from San Francisco to Tampa. Maybe a reason I may be more responsible with my words here, than some people on the internet, is because I expect to be face to face with some of you.

I'm a Brees-ist, and a Payton-ster, and I love Amer'ca. I have friends who disagree with me about everything.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Obviously first and foremost I love to post here and read others viewpoints about the Saints and the outlook of our team. But I've been on here long enough to know that if I drop my guard and wish to chat about some things going on in my life then that is fine too. I don't use social media and I don't do that on any other site.

Today I'm going to visit my cousin in prison and got to be honest I'm kind of nervous because I have never visited an inmate before and it kind of gives me the heebie jeebies. But I'm worried about him and want to see how he is doing. He was arrested on assault and drug charges, not sure of the details of his case because he had distanced himself from the family before the arrest. He's got 5 kids so it is a tough situation, wish there was more I could do.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Good luck and be strong.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

You are totally fine from a safety standpoint but I know it’s still nerve wracking. The little bit of hope you will bring him with your visit will be a huge help when it comes to him getting through his sentence. Sometimes just knowing someone cares is all these guys need to get through it.

Hopefully one day they will legalize stuff and it minimizes drug related violence, prison overpopulation and legal costs.

You are doing a great thing for him.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

:poke:

Re: Why I love this forum
 

you're doing a good thing. you'll be glad, and it'll make his day.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Ok I can’t help myself it’s like a train wreck.
Now they are absolutely convinced we are getting Burrow.

There’s an interview on WWL with Payton and he says “I’ll get fitted with a wedding dress” when asked about getting Burrow.
They take that one statement and somehow are now convinced he meant they are going for Burrow.

I listened live and Payton was basically making fun of fans who think they want anything to do with Burrow.

I don’t know why I can’t let this go lol.

How can some fans be so delusional?

They act like this Swimmer guy is a God.

Good Evening, Everyone, my call-sign is jeanpierre and I've never been registered nor posted on SaintsReport.com...

Ever.

QuickHits: On a dare from our late Brother Hagen, I posed a Saints Draft question of MD at a SportsTalkShow/Banquet down the bayou 'here...

He was caught unprepared, ignorant, and when I called him on his error (his BS) I was given the tap and asked to leave...

Never did get to tell Kevin the follow up report, so never take moments here for granted...

Why? When I got active here, I had a few nuances that ruffled feathers which only reinforced my inner strong-willed 14yo teenage mentality... ;)

Nonetheless, one of the guiding forces, by subtle suggestions in responses, for me was Smash for the first couple of years I was here...

An event in his life corresponded to one shared here when I realized a friend of mine here for nearly four years was actually a dear friend and Brother for over 35 years - we laughed about it...

Sharing out-the-box ideas, legit intel, and thoughtful, logical analysis (even if Sean goes off the rails to prove us wrong by biting off his nose to spite us or is wrong) is a great strength of BlackandGold making it best...

And Neuguy, may your experience bring you unexpected enlightenment and personal strength...

To all of you - May You Drink and Know Things...

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Coach Pete is a proven source of information over recent years and apparently is well connected. There have been dozens of threads wanting to know what makes his insight valuable. The answer is that he's almost always right about each prognostication. It could be a player injury or even just a little insider information. He's been accurate for some time now and has won over the doubters on the SR. I buy into it.

I don't spend any time there unless I just feel the need for more info. They do start threads about media sources. Kind of like one of my favorite posters Who Dat!656. Man, I'm glad he joined! See, we have knowledgeable friendly Saints fan who like to share here and keep it positive.

Do ya'll remember when the server went down a few years back? I spent some miserable time over there because they were my only option. When I was able to get back on the BNG I wrote a scathing thread about my horrendous time there and the jerks who populate the SR. Halo, said he didn't normally run anything non Saints, but that he was letting it stay for the simple reason was that my thread was spot on about the treatment you get over there.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Supposedly he got the Davenport pick right like the day before the draft. It was basically a gamble and a bold move type prediction that he got lucky on.
If you throw enough **** against the wall something is eventually going to stick.
He’s just a fan who makes educated guesses hoping they will pan out.
If it happens to work out he claims it’s inside info.
I did some digging just for ****s and giggles and he has been wrong way more than he’s been right and when he is right it’s pretty much common sense.
Of course the Saints would be interested in a player like Burrow. So are 31 other teams. I’m interested in a Ferrari but that doesn’t mean it’s actually attainable.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

I can't argue about the Burrow comment. That one is definitely a head scratcher. I'm usually pessimistic about these things but I'm willing to listen to questions asked of him.

EDIT: My mail carrier just moved from New Orleans and gives me all the juicy gossip now! :roll:

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Out of curiosity I went and checked the last time I posted in that "other" forum. It was on March 23, 2011 in thread VIA Werder/ ESPN Coach Payton will move to Dallas, will keep a residence in NOLA. Those idiots were buying that Payton was going to coach Dallas back then.

:rofl:

I had a total of 15 posts there having joined in 2004.

Re: Why I love this forum
 

Okay, so to have an informed opinion, I went to that thread - very surreal - but have to ask has anyone looked at that user profile?

Underneath his call-sign swimmer it says Medsamust Saints Fan and his location as Slaughterhouse Five*. Has anyone here ever read or familiar with Kurt Vonnegut's opus?

This guy is whacked, dropped a hard mushroom trip, or both... :bugeyes:

Suspect Nurse Ratchet is giving this wingnut an hour of internet for good behaviour and a little 15 minute of R&R/Sweet Milfy Love so he can post from his biodome on Planet Tralmadore*... ;)

...in an alternate universe where the Saints have won the last two Superbowls because Goodell and his corrupt Officials were imprisoned for fraud and Ireland is the Saints GM and won't trade two ones for a DE...

Oh, and Mike Nolan is the DC/Linebackers coach... :D


Also suspect that person has posted here as well...
