Oh yes, I’m a fan (my team doesn’t even pick in the first round!)

    WTF? The Texans are going to draft Mario Williams first?

    Who’s going to buy a ticket to see Mario Williams?

    On the other hand, I don’t think I’m alone when I say I’d buy a plane ticket, rent a hotel room, buy game tickets and spend all my remaining disposable cash to go to any town where I could watch Reggie Bush do his thing.

    Reggie Bush apparently wanted a 30 Million dollar signing bonus. But the Texans’ owner says it wasn’t about money. It was a “football” decision, so they signed Mario Williams to a 6-year 54 Million contract. I’m sure he is going to be a great player, but passing on Reggie Bush and Vince Young for a defensive player so they can pay him an average of 8 million a year as a rookie?

    Yeah baby! Bush to New Orleans. It is about time that New Orleans have some leverage in the draft, I just hope that they don’t screw up thier chance. Goodbye ‘Aints hello Saints.

    Yeah — Reggie Bush will do the same thing for the Saints that Ricky Williams did.

    How many games did Mr Williams win for the Aints? :)

    White Wale, this is the Saints we’re talking about. You think Benson wants to pay Bush? Say hello to AJ Hawk!

    Farris,
    That would be the smart pick, but I have to say that Benson has a great deal of pressure from fans. He is already hated by most if not all New Orleanians. The Aints need to win! The problem with bulking on defence, is that the organization has shown they are not good at keeping star defensive talent. The Saints have always been an explosive offense rather than a crushing defense. Plus I think Demeco Ryans is a way better player than AJ Hawk. Plus I hate Ohio State. There I said it!
    Dana,
    Williams was more a casualty of being unpredictable and unreliable. The Saints were weaker at the Wide-out position those years and had a more formidble defence. Two things you have to give credit to Williams, he was consistently(2-3 years) giving the yards and hard yards. Also for my own amusement, they polled defensive players in the NFL and asked who do you like to tackle the least. Answer: Ricky Williams. Most were quoted as saying that normally it hurts the guy getting tackled, but they feared Ricky because it was painful to tackle him.

    Still don’t know why this is put through moderation. I have an idea….. THE REDSKINS ARE THE GREATEST FOOTBALL TEAM EVER!!!!! That should work?

    Like I said… Reggie Bush. It could be a bust, but AJ HAWK is a roider who is overrated! Demeco Ryans is the best linebacker in college football.

    So I guess I am naive and ignorant, but I always figured this was a behind closed doors, invited only affair. Can the public get in? Are there parties? With all due respect, what is the attraction?

    I do hope you had a good time though.
