In light of the recent news I decided to omit sharper from this list so harper was added instead

Hello Saints fans!

Out of towner here visiting for the Super Bowl. Looking forward to seeing your city. I was lucky enough to win a lottery to purchase Super Bowl tickets but have a few logistical questions if someone would be kind enough to help out.

1. The seats are in the 600s in the end zone. Is this going to be an issue in terms of viewing the game? I’ve heard to avoid the end zone, but they don’t seem like bad seats (at least compared to the press box)

2. Is the game shown on the screen during play? Essentially, in the event that the view isn’t great, we’d like to ensure we can at least watch the scoreboard.

3. How accessible is the stadium from the city? If we are staying within a few miles of the stadium, are we able to walk? Some NFL cities like Chicago, New England and New York you can basically only access the stadium via a highway.

4. Any areas you’d recommend for accommodations? The Hotel and Airbnb prices are off the charts, but we are looking at neighboring towns and then ubering in on the day of the game. Any towns to avoid?

5. Always willing to take some restaurant recommendations

Thanks so much, all!

There are only three people in Louisiana with the billions to own the Saints: Gayle, Todd Graves (not a fan personally), and William Goldring and family.

I dunno bout y'all, but $7 billion net worth and ownership of a booze empire specializing in both very good and comically bad liquor seems like a match made in heaven. According to several articles, he's also a Saints fan. Don't know much about him beyond that.

I'm so pissed. The players and fanbase don't deserve to be associated with you amoral pieces of shit.

I want these 3 plus their legal counsel Neumeyer to be forcibly removed from any association with the Saints and Pelicans. I am a proud fan of the Saints but now I have to hide that fact or I appear to be supporting these pieces of human garbage.

As I'm sure many of you feel today, it's hard to see myself wearing any Saints memoralbilia after hearing the news about Gayle Bensons use of the team to assist the Catholic Church in a coverup of the Church's sex abuse scandal. I watched Porters game winning interception against Indianapolis, watched the Rams steal their way into a Super Bowl, and (unfortunately) got a Michael Thomas jersey after he completed the all time leading season for a wide receiver in receptions. I love this team, I love the players, and am now totally dismayed by the ownership and front office. Sell the team, the commissioner needs to have the NFL has voiced its stance on serious subjects before, we have "end racism" at the end of our in zones. Gayle Benson used the NFL's brand to aide in a pedophilia coverup, the NFL's brand is what makes it money. Goodell needs to have absolutely zero tolerance on this and have the ownership of the team stripped. Tom made the team what it is, she's abusing the ownership.

This is bigger than football. Unfourtanely the Catholic Church is one of the most powerful western entities around. I'd argue that football and Jesus are on the same pedestal in Louisiana, and as a fan of this football team, I'm ashamed to have black and gold in my closet today.

Saw that Michael Lewis is doing a fundraiser at Jamnola on Wednesday and it looks like a cool way to meet some Saints. Apparently they’re giving away a Cam Jordan signed football. Is this legit? https://jamnola.com/blogs/blog-du-jamnola/michael-lewis-jamnola-big-game-fundraiser

As stated in the title! Just curious to see your guys thoughts on him as I saw he was dismissed by the team in 2023.

I was on the wait list for 9 years, and I finally made it. This past season was my first year as a season ticket holder. (Lucky me, right?) The team sucks, but it was so much fun, and since our season has ended, I've really missed going to the Dome every other Sunday.

But this recent development with the heads of the organization being confirmed rape apologists, and their active involvement in covering up child rape has left such a bad taste in my mouth that I just really don't know if I can shell out that huge sum of money to support this team anymore.

This team was headed nowhere fast before these developments surfaced, but things are only going to get worse, with no light at the end of the tunnel whatsoever. The coaching search has shed light on the fact that no one wants to come here and deal with Gail and Mickey, but holy shit.

I don't mind showing up in the Dome and supporting a bad team through a rebuild, (if that actually happens) but knowing where my money is going is something I don't think my conscience can bear.

Done after more and more has been coming out around this scandal. https://apnews.com/article/new-orleans-saints-catholic-church-sex-abuse-77f92deb50e6333fa04a9db1897f8171

As a franchise, you simply cannot comeback from this. My wife was a victim of sexual assault against a minor, albeit not in a church. I cannot support the team after this kind of crime. I wish nothing but the best for the players who clearly had nothing to do with it, but fuck this team.

Self explanatory I’m just excited they giving the kid who showed bright flashes a shot

I don’t want this to come off doomer, but I believe that the Saints organization will have no desire to tank this coming year.

Some of the players on our roster are losing their competitive window. Others don’t strike me as a “f around and lose the game bc we’re tanking 🤪” type of players…

As much as many of us, myself included, want to see the Saints get their cap in order and build a dynasty, that is likely not what we’ll get. Realistically, it can’t be done in a single year anyway..

The closest thing to it would be trading back in the draft or trading our quality players for future picks.

Taper your expectations, enjoy the offseason a bit, and get ready for Rattle Time 😎

2009 season news papers/schedules/signs/etc

I’m just curious, head coaching hires are always judged. More often than not, the analyst miss the marks on them

If Loomis fumbles this, there’s nowhere to go

I feel like I’m going crazy with everyone moving on from Rattler after being a 5th round pick behind an injured O-line throwing to plumbers. Did he play well? Not particularly, but he did flash some plays and I’m interested to see how it goes for his second year with a healthy O-line and some talent to throw to

How does she look
