Absolutely Fed Up with the Lack of Respect

I think its the main street media ignoring us I gotta believe other teams know all about our defense

WHY CARE what others say or don’t say??? Maybe too many years of sorry teams has made me feel that way. OUR SAINTS will take care of business and to me, that’s all that matters.

I like being under the radar. It makes it that much more sweet when my favorite team thrashes a media darling.

What they think doesn’t matter because they’re proven wrong most of the time. It’s all about $. They draw in more readers and viewers more consistently when they spend their airtime and article space on the higher market East and North conference teams. Screw em!

This past week at least, the media has been too enamored with crowning Michael Vick the MVP of the year in mid-season to have noticed anything else.

Another thing that has dropped off the radar is the Favre “investigation”. Initially everyone was saying this would be resolved in a “couple of weeks”…. that was two months ago. I think the Favre Fix is in.

I guess we just have to deal with it but hopefully a few more wins and they can’t ignore it.

Not a bad thing. The Steelers have Polamalu, the Ravens have Ray Lewis. Who really stands out on our defense? I mean nationally. We don’t have guys doing Head and Shoulders or Old Spice commercials. We play TEAM defense. We have a football TEAM that plays as a TEAM. I’ll take that over having 1 outstanding player on defense.

I’m not sure about that, I’d take Patrick Willis in a flash! But then again, I’m being literal and I know what you meant. You’re right, we are not getting the press. Shoot even when i talk fantasy with people the Saints don’t come up…but I have them and for the most part I’m hitting double digits every week.

Did any of y’all hear Scott Van Pelt this afternoon. Talk about dis-respect: here is his comment: ( I understand that Reggie Bush is coming back this week, well as far as I am concerned this is a (NON EVENT). It’s like oh well he’s back. Even though he’s playing his old coach it just doesn’t mean a lot. ) espn sucks, and by the way, van pelt didn’t say that, I did.

This BS again? Seriously? GTF over it. We have a good defense that is currently (over)performing at a top level, to the credit of the DC and defensive personnel. We also have a talented but stumbling, underperforming offense, a 6-3 record with two atrocious losses and two consecutive good performances, one of which was against the worst team in the NFL.

If people were complaining about a lack of media respect last season at 9-0, with an all-cylinders-firing blowout offense, what on earth are their expectations now? I didn’t know ESPN was even aware that defense is a part of the NFL. I can barely remember the last time they even showed a player get tackled. Are you expecting a Jon Gruden video analysis of Will Smith? Jim Rome to spend his whole show soliloquizing over Gregg Williams?

Why do we need their approval? Would you really want those flip-floppers fawning over our every move? I sure as hell don’t b/c I can’t stand when they do it to other teams & players. At some point during this game, they were talking about Brees & his concentration. They paused the replay, then circled his eyes w/their little yellow marker & said “look. just look at that concentration.” Really? C’mon man!!

So it’s understandable that we aren’t getting any real coverage. I am hoping as teams start to fall off and we pull ahead we will see more Saints news. I think when we get back to the playoffs and (hopefully) do well there will be a lot of commenting on the Superbowl Champions making it a lot further than expected.
