Another tone deaf message from this loser franchise


Do you even understand what tone deaf means? How is it tone deaf?
It's a good time to remember that just because someone buys neato equipment it doesn't mean they know what the hell they are talking about.

In fact more often than not they are the guy at the bar or the guy in your family that always claims to be the smartest guy in the room and continuously runs his mouth about nonsense that everyone basically ignores.

Anyone been to an international game before? How do ticket sales work? I see an article mentioning hotel / flight / ticket packages but I'd only be interested in the tickets.


Season ticket holders can opt in to a lottery, chances are weighted based on years as a season ticket holder. Every account drawn will have the option to buy 2 tickets.

Other than that I don't know. My guess is most tickets will be sold in France and Europe.
I like this one. An account called "Irish NFL Show" chooses Charlie Smyth as the representative Saint on the graphic.

I have never ever been able to hit with a lob wedge. Never. I've given up on it...the trusty sand wedge works just fine.

Rodgers is coming back. Bank on it. He does these darkness retreats every year.


Like I said, Pittsburgh doesn't have a quarterback. :lol:

I wish I had a link to the story, but I read yesterday that the hold-up has to do with Rodgers wanting an easy out to be traded or released if things go south in Pittsburgh this season.
This is silly because only a small handful of schools hold all athletes to the same standards that regular students are held to. Some schools, like Notre Dame, are stricter when it comes to how far they will alter standards, but pretty much everyone bends the academic transfer rules for athletes in some way. The question is which rules are bent for which player. The better the player, the farther the school will go.

Sounds like there was a player that Texas wanted but the school wouldn't bend on the necessary rule to bring him in and Sark is butthurt about it. Or, Ole Miss went out of its way to bend its rules for said player.

If you're gonna try to sell to me that every player on that Texas roster is as academically qualified as a standard UT student, and that every transfer on the UT roster had to undergo the same process that normal transfer go through, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell to you.

Fingers crossed they have a direct flight from NO to Paris.


I'm pretty sure they already have one.

You’re moving the goalposts. Post where Gayle denied it was the Browns….

From the story:

quote:

At the time, Saints owner Gayle Benson denied the initial reports that the Browns would play in the Paris, saying the opponent had not been determined by NFL officials.
You realize what all these guys are doing, both the local yo-yos like Jake Madison and the national guys posting about this.

Everyone knows the 5-6 names on the list, so they each pick 2-3, claim their "sources" are telling them that, and are rolling the dice that the winner will be from their list.

If they are right, they will never shut up about it. If they are wrong, they are counting no one will remember what they had said.

At this point, all these guys, including Madison, are just making things up. Say what you want about Dumars, he's learned from Loomis how to keep the boat watertight shut. They ain't letting anyone know what their plans are.

One bad stretch of innings can inflate an ERA and look worse than it actually is.

However...

One bad game usually means that a pitcher's ERA will not get much below 3.00 for the rest of the year if he is really good for the duration. To get under 2.00 after starting 67.50 is mind boggling.

Wow this fricks a good tourism weekend for the city. Steelers fans are the best traveling team.


Apparently it was either the Steelers or the Packers and the Saints pushed for Pittsburgh to keep the more important conference game in the dome.

Green Bay travels well too. Plus, remember Pittsburgh doesn't have a quarterback right now. (Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Drew Allar). They could be pretty putrid this year (new coach, good QB class coming up so incentive to tank), which means if we got them late in the year, they may not be travelling as well as usual.

How about you dig up those denials for us?

So I assume you're arguing that the Saints chose to leak false information to a French radio station for the purpose of driving up ticket sales.

What a fricking joke….let everyone run with the Browns rumor until after 2 payments are made


If you read the story, you see that the Saints denied the reports about Cleveland being the opponent when those stories started circulating in February. So go cry about something else.

re: 8th pick

Posted by bstaceyau19 on 5/12/26 at 12:50 pm to
The problem is that too many fans (and media) do not fundamentally understand the mathematics involved in the lottery. Look at the process:

1. 2025 draft. Hawks are at 13 and willing to move.

2. Derik Queen is available. Pels had him 5th or 6th on their board. To get him at 13 is great value in a vacuum, but drafts do not happen in a vacuum.

3. Pels offer 2026 R1 pick for 13th pick in 2025. Atlanta demands no protections to agree to the trade.

4. Pels consider the probabilities. Mathematically, the probability is high that the Pels will not be selected in the lottery and that their pick will be somewhere after, maybe long after 5. The probability is low that they get drawn at all for 1-4 and extremely low that they get chosen #1.

5. So, you play the probabilities and get a guy now at a value where you think you may end up in next year's draft, or do you hold the pick gambling that somehow the ping pong balls will be in your favor even though the math says that will probably not happen.

They gambled with the higher probability and won. They get Derik Queen for an 8th round pick, which given his performance last year and his potential is pretty good value at 8. Most fans wanted them to gamble on the lower probability because they operate on an uninformed notion that your number gets drawn more often than it does.

Remember, in their whole history in NOLA, they have been drawn in any spot in the lottery exactly twice. Twice in over 20 years, yet fans lost their marbles because Joe Dumars didn't want to test those odds.
If Little Poppa Pump makes the 53, then we are in serious trouble in the WR room.

What’s the deal with the helicopter and 22m deal?


The State and LIV originally discussed a 6 yr $22 million deal for an event, but they only signed a 1-year deal in the end.

Greg Norman and state officials toured the area in a helicopter looking at courses and decided on City Park. I think ET told them no.
