I also said that there are many fans like me that are close to giving up on the NFL. Not "boycotting"... yet. But don't let that detail keep you from your over exaggerated rant.

And, I repeat, any decline in revenue due to you and fans like you will be like a grain of sand on a beach, iceshack. The point I am making is that you have this disconnected belief that there is actually a significant number of people that feel like you that could actually create a decline in revenue. Sorry, my friend. That does not exist.

99% of NFL fans don't give a **** and just want to watch football. You don't seem to understand that fact. You, my friend are the one that is not only exaggerating, but is existing in a totally different realm of unreality.

Interesting, though. Brainy I can understand, but "smurf"? Anything but a smurf. Just a tad under 6' and at 205 with tattoos I wouldn't imagine a smurf. Then again, you have been having an issue with reality.

Sure. The flag thing doesn’t bother me as much as the dog and pony show narratives, twitter wars, etc. centered around each matchup. I don’t care about people’s stories or media build up before the game. It’s like WWE. I support the idea of BLM but not what it’s become politically so if it turns into a political campaign I won’t watch. Kneeling for the anthem doesn’t bother me but I don’t want to listen to hours of debate from those calling the game.
If we have a season at all it may happen with some players sitting out to prevent being exposed to COVID. Both Jenkins have expressed concern over it.

I pointed this out in the other thread, but Malcolm Jenkins is the only Saints player that has expressed any concern about playing. Janoris Jenkins was mistakenly mentioned in a headline two days ago on the SB Nation site while the actually story was about Malcolm. That's why I have always stressed not to only read headlines. The headline writers don't read the articles half the times themselves.

Guess he lied on his Twitter.

How so? He has never mentioned anything about it on his Twitter. Malcolm Jenkins did, however, and that is what the article was about.

I follow Janoris Jenkins on Twitter and he has NEVER said anything about any reservations about playing because of COVID.

Take time to read articles referred to by headlines, Dude. I know you are a very busy man, but making unfounded claims based upon erroneous headlines makes you look lazy and I know for a fact that you could not be lazy in your line of business.

If the Saints play, I will be watching. If the Tide plays, I will be watching. This will be the case until my time on earth is done. I love the Saints. I am a lifelong Tide fan. I love sports. I love and play golf. I always watch the majors and others depending on the field. I have watched all of it recently. I'm a casual NASCAR fan. I've watched a lot of it since it's been basically the only sports entertainment on. I will watch the NBA if the Jazz or Pelicans are involved. I will watch the Braves. I will watch March Madness. I will flip by Wrestling and see if something catches my eye. I will watch hockey if I have a wager on it. I will give the Olympics a drive by. I have watched World Cup soccer when the US was involved but it's still like pulling teeth. I will not watch horse racing. I LOL at Corn Hole being televised by ESPN and can't help but think of Beavis and Butthead.

If you think for one second that the ill-fated actions and comments from people dead set on obstruction and destruction will prevent me from my one remaining solace... Trying to make me to cut off my nose to spite my face, you are foolish.

I have sat and enjoyed chocolate chip cookies from home while B52s carpet bombed close enough to shake my cot... I have survived direct fire from 25mm M242 Bushmaster chain guns coming from Bradley fighting vehicles...

It isn't that I am racist, its that kneeling and beating on trash cans just doesn't register with me. Showings of force will be ignored until the time comes to respond with appreciable force. I will not let any race of man stand between me and my happiness, if you are trying to do so to another race then you aren't much better than they are are you?

You will gain my compassion and attention much quicker by just telling me you want to talk. I am pretty damn easy to talk to and always willing to help those that need help.

Ill be watching

Audiotom · 06-26-2020, 04:19 PM

I’ll do what I usually do

Go out and enjoy my sunday
Stay aways from sports news
Then watch a condensed game (hiding the score) that evening

If I am home
I will watch the game in full

But not start watching it till after the National Anthem is over.

nola_swammi · 06-26-2020, 04:34 PM

If you’re not watching why are you in the saints forums

Rugby Saint II · 06-26-2020, 04:43 PM

I will watch my Saints play and I will watch the teams we play against to get a feel for their game. Besides that The NFL has ruined football for me.

However, I still buy Saints NFL gear so that I can represent with pride. Other than that I have no interest in pro football anymore. Screw you Roger Godhell!!!
