No doubt about it! This was a ST. LOUIS RAMS INTERCEPTION! Conwell isn't down and doesn't have control in any way, shape or form!

Jonsey, will you continue to root for the Saints once they officially move to San Antonio (and then official move to Los Angeles one year later)?

Funny you should ask!

Here's your How I Will React When My Heart Is Pulled Out of My Chest Primer!

o If the Saints move to San Antonio and are no longer called the Saints, I'm done with football, until such time that the city of New Orleans gets another team.

o If the Saints move to San Antonio, are called the Saints and it's not "official" where they are playing in 2007 I might follow them. Maybe. The mayor of San Antonio is a fucking greaseball and a pathetic little worm of a human being and I would never support anything based in that wretched, corpse-looting, shithole of a city. But if nobody is sure if they are going back to Louisiana for 2007 or L.A. then momentum may carry me. I don't know.

o If the Saints go to SA next year and it's clear that they are going to LA the year after I am done with them.

My bond with the team is with all the wonderful people I have "met" on-line through various Saints websites, with the shared history of the team throughout all its many, many failures, screw jobs, home jobs, participation in outright fixed games (i.e., the first home game the Giants had after 9/11/01) and playoff ass-kickings. It's with all the swag I've purchased, all the times I've played as the Saints in video games, all the games I've traveled thousands of miles to attend and all the time I have apparently fucking wasted learning more about the New Orleans Saints than anyone else I know.

My bond is not with the grave robbing sons of bitches in San Antonio, nor the apathetic - and - who - can - blame - them denizens of Los Angeles. I would never set foot in San Antonio and would never go to LA again unless I were forced to for some other function.

I know this is all a build-up for you to retort, "BLAAAAAH!! You've never even lived in New Orleans!!!" but please keep in mind that I find your opinion about sports as relevant as you find mine about cooking. The people I have encountered through the Saints are among the nicest, warmest people in the world. To put it another way -- I missed the Saints-Bills game and a guy sent me a copy of the game on tape for free. You pretended to open a fake restaurant and couldn't be bothered to overnight a dish from the menu when I offered full recompense. Full recompense before the outright begging.

The New Orleans Saints are going away, and I can't believe I'm turning into Guy Who Lost His Football Team. I can't fully come to grips with this shit. I will say this, though -- we had the worst fucking owner in the history of business and if another city wants him so bad they can fucking have him. You find another guy who has done less for victims of a national disaster than our owner. As far as I'm concerned he's as bad as Osama bin Laden.

Anyway, when it's finally announced I'll throw together an article about what it was like to grow up with this team, then you can laugh and laugh and laugh.

Who's worse, the owner of the Saints, or the milk guy?

The owner of the Saints, a/k/a The Devil.

I don't know much about the home spirit of Jax and the Vikings, but whyever would the other 3 move ANYWHERE?

I think this play has now affected you in every aspect of your life. I could tell today at work when you could not see straight that you were suffering still from this crappy call.

You may need to put a paper grocery sack over your head to help deal with the artificial lighting at work or something.

Most Saints fans know the proper dimensions of eye holes and mouth holes for the paper sack.

Ask on one of the Saints forums for help.

Paper or Plastic?

Well, thanks for getting back to me on that! Even when I ask something, about sports, you can't be bothered to respond. I had to fall back on my own resources and ask my Cartography teacher, who's from Minnesota, about that one.

I hadn't replied to McLellan yet, either. Easy there.

REPLY-O-RAMA!

Due to not having a "new" stadium. The Dallas Cowboys could have an old stadium and if the populace of Dallas thought for a second that they weren't going to buy a stadium for a billionaire you'd see things like, "Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, old, is contemplating a move to San Antonio..."

I mean, the Arizona Cardinals are a garbage franchise who don't sell out. They are the best candidate to "move." But they have a new stadium coming, so they're not going anywhere.

I don't care if the government is going to waive anti-trust for these assholes, but it shouldn't come for free. A price should be not having to even joke about "The Los Angeles Bills."

This is great, coming from a guy with less playoff victories than the SAINTS since Elway retired. As soon as he went off to the glue farm so did your chances of ever being relevant. He even won a championship as an owner of a freaking Arena team, thus proving that it was him and not Shanahan and your owner won't drop Shanahan. This week the Saints have a really tough test, at least it was for you -- how are we ever going to stop the Dolphins?

Great Moments in NFL Officiating #3:

David Boston catches a 47 yard pass. He is wrapped up by a New Orleans Saint player.

David Boston then LOSES THE BALL before he is tackled.

This results in an NFL (c) OFFICIAL... blowing the play dead!

That's right... nobody was tackled, the ball is out there loose and maggot NFL (c) OFFICIALS obviously had seen enough of that play. Ha ha ha!

For this I paid $179.
