I have seen the highs and I've suffered the lows.

Saints surely will suck and everyone knows.

Dumpster on fire dot gif.

How not to run a franchise...

DAT DEAD MONEY YOOOO!!!11

 

But for real, how does any owner not intervene when their GM goes full retard??

[saints4lifeagain]

The dead money is a given. 

What you can't account for is the injuries. Saints had 5 starters hurt yesterday. 

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

The best thing the saints can do is set the whole thing on fire and start over. There are dumbass saints fans running around social networks thinking they can salvage this and win another super bowl with brees

There are times I wish we still had at least two out of those top three guys on this list. And how did Damiere Byrd get on the list twice?

I have no idea why he's on the list twice. It was a copy and paste from a website.

Benson has his own issues.
