Pass the Torch from Mannings to Brees
Quote from Olivia Manning (wife of Archie) about the Indianapolis Superbowl
“I’m telling you, I think it was the best Super Bowl I think I’ve ever been to. I live in New Orleans, and we put on some good ones. … But this was really special. It was such a great atmosphere. The people are so nice, and we know Indianapolis so well. We were very comfortable here. It just couldn’t be any better.”
Ouch…..Can we now say that Drew and his family is the “first” family of New Orleans? While it may have been taken out of context, I’m not sure I would say that it is better than New Orleans as a Superbowl site. Indy lucked out with mild weather. If the NFL returns for the SB, they could be greeted with typical midwest winter temperatures. Not fun.

Or, we can dream big while we’re dreaming, right?
They’re going to announce signing Brees, Nicks, and Colston all at one time and break all these other teams widdle biddy hearts.

they have a lot on that plate..
bet you there are several contracts being reviewed together..
can’t just fork out the 1st big contract & hope for the best..
they have to establish where they stand under the cap.. weigh in several possibilities to restructure some of the big contracts.. the numbers do not add..
it was reported yesterday that the saints may be sitting at 112 million.. that’s only 8 mill under the 120 magic number (which could be a little more)
gotta put about 5 mill for the rookie draft class..
so there’s no money to sign.. not even brees, as we stand..
i expect smith, vilma, harper, ellis will be asked to restructure and some they may possibly be traded later if a suitor appears..
some role players may be cut outright, since the guaranteed money impact against the cap is minimal.. the bad thing is that those are peanuts.. also you lose contributing players having to go back to cheap FAs out of the street to fill your roster..

Drew said last week that he expected a new contract in 4-5 weeks
So in case you aren’t a math major the leaves 3-4 more weeks until he expects a new deal
Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
