There's a New Sherriff in Town

by Andrew Juge on Jul 30, 2010 5:00 PM CDT

Dave is headed on vaca soon so I'll be making sure we have plenty of stuff to talk about while he's gone. If you're asking yourself, "Who the heck is Andrew Juge?" well, I've made the name change to follow suit with Dave's initiative. You'll remember me as "saints-nation" prior to this coming of age. So nice to meet you all, again, now that we're on a one way first name basis. I'm making a proposal while Dave is away, since he won't be around to monitor us anyway. Make the jump!

Here's the skinny: I'm really angry with Chris Paul. Some of you may be Hornets fans, while you others could probably care less what any NBA team does. It's a given that football is cooler than basketball. But the trade news has really rubbed me wrong, especially with LeBron James playing a hand in all this nonsense. I realize this is a Saints football forum but here is what I propose: the person with the most comments slighting Chris Paul at the end of the week receives a $20 iTunes gift card that I will mail to you.

You can't just comment "Chris Paul sucks" though, that would be too easy. It has to be related to the topic. Example: The topic is "Saints start training camp" followed by a comment "Man, I'm so excited football season is here and it's not time to watch Chris Paul yet." One point for you. It'll be a little competition that will give me some sense of liberation, selfishly, from the amount of grief he's caused me. As I mentioned, $20 iTunes gift card to the winner, and the more witty you are the more points you get. If you think this is stupid - which it is - then you can refrain from participating. No harm, no foul. But you do get free money for this.

Who is game for partaking in this immaturity with me?

Uhhh, when is Dave coming back?

Just kidding. The Hornets are my fave NBA team, but I admit I don’t follow them all that closely. I’m all focused on the Saints and Braves right now. I’ve heard some about the Paul situation and his desire to change teams, but don’t know all the details.

On a side note, I hear a baby crying down the hall. I’m gonna go check to see if his name is Chris Paul. How’s that? Do I get a point?

definitely a point. That's perfect. I feel better already

Satch you like all the teams that I do

except for the Hornets. Chris Paul and management of the Hornets have said that he’s not getting traded and he’s not leaving. I’m a Suns fan when it comes to basketball but I don’t have a longtime favorite team. Mostly like certain players and root for their teams. Like way back when MJ was still around.

Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!

I like Chris Paul

I think he is the best guard in the NBA.

I’d much rather bash James than CP3.

Who is Chris Paul?

The way I see it, we have a 1/32 chance on repeating and winning the Super Bowl again. If you need an elite QB to win a Super Bowl we have a 1/3 shot at winning the Superbowl. If you need an elite coach then we have a 1/2 shot at winning the Super Bowl. If you need an elite city and a elite fan base to win a Super Bowl then we are the only logical choice so we have a 100% shot at winning the Super Bowl! We are New Orleans, this our city and this is OUR TIME!!!!!!!!!

How do we pronounce "Juge"?

Like Judge? Jug-ay? En español como “hu-gay”? Joogie? Help us out.

Chris Paul is like that little baby brother following his older brother LeBron James. But wait, Chris Paul will do absolutely anything for LBJ or his other brother D-Wade because Paul has no will of his own. If LBJ asked CP3 to take his pants off, then CP3 will do it. Cause he’s a follower, and not a leader like Drew Brees

Welcome, Sheriff Juge!

Want to go to the Saints vs. Cowboys game? I've got an extra ticket.

What is this basketball that which you speak?

I don’t know Chris Paul, but I do know he needs to change his diaper the big baby (how’s that?).

This is why you don't see as many good rivalries in sports anymore.

Everybody is friends with the players on other teams. You never saw Magic Johnson and Larry Bird having drinks during the off-season. It was a friendly rivalry, but those two never would have worked something out to play together (outside of the Olympics). Their motivation was to beat the other guy. I remember a quote from Larry Bird saying every off-season, he would always think to himself “I bet Magic took 1000 shots today. I have to take 1100 to get better than him.” You would never hear Lebron say something like that.

if you had done Brees dunking on Paul I probably would've stopped the competition and just given it you outright.

haha. too late now though

funny - before I scrolled down, I thought he might be slamming on Timmy from South Park

Sean Payton and the players need to focus on the upcoming season and defending the title but I don’t.

Is calling him Chris Pall slighting enough?

I'm going to lose after this probably

but what’s the big deal? CP3 wants to play for a championship caliber team that could use a point guard. No one berated the Celtics when Allen and Garnet joined! No one called out DWade or Shaq. Nobody berated the Lakers this year for getting Artest to join(although Artest is way past his prime he’s still a star imo). If you don’t play to win championships then you play for the money. So if I was Paul I’d ask to be traded to a contender or to up my paycheck. Competition isn’t like it used to be. Magic Johnson had Kareem. Larry Bird had McHale. MJ had Pippen. They all had a wingman with some roleplayers. Now there’s a big 3 with alot of roleplayers usually. Well that’s enough tirading for this comment about a non football subject. To end on a good note…TWO DAT SUPERBOWL!!

Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!

I thought all of this crap was because….. James went to Miami where English is a second language. He just wants his protocol droid. Meet CP3, human-cyborg relations…

The Saints must repeat so I can watch the Saints win the Superbowl LIVE... Not on vhs two months later....
