After Katrina, I thought a Saints move to San Antonio was likely, and unlike the Utah Jazz, the San Antonio Saints would have fit the team emblem with the city fairly well. Now, I would be surprised to see it happen. The city rallied around the Saints and the Saints rallied the city.
On Jones firing Wade or trading Romo, I don't expect it. Jones has become more cautious about blowing up the team every three years. After Johnson left and Jones signed Deion and hired Switzer, he thought he could buy a Super Bowl as Steinbrenner consistently bought pennants with the Yankees. The salary cap and revenue sharing in football make that almost impossible now, and after running through three coaches in ten years Jones has become more patient and cautious. On the fan boards for the Cowboys, there are always calls to fire Philips and trade Romo. Last summer, quite a few were calling to trade Romo for Cutler straight up.
To his critics, by definition it isn't a big game unless Romo loses it, but the Saints game and both Eagles games were big games and Romo played well. Romo isn't, and I doubt will ever be a Brady or Montana, but he's a solid QB. Favre, Brady, McNabb, Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner and every other quarterback of note has had a terrible playoff game when their O-line breaks down. It was a team loss, and a lot of players and coaches could have done better.
On Jamarcus Russell, I think he's slowed by a big wallet and lack of motivation. Like Vick when he was with the Falcons, he thinks that his athleticism means he doesn't have to do the homework.
Regarding the Jazz- Just switch names with the Hornets and call it even. Utah is the Beehive State.
The Jazz will be back where they belong and Pete Maravich can finally rest in peace.
Saints move to San Antonio- Still up in the air. It would crush the spirit of NOLA.
I think Rita Leblanc will keep the team where it belongs. She’s smart and I hope SA, whatever they offer her, would not make her leave. Fingers crossed.
Dallas Fans-Seems you really understand the mindset of the fans and Monday morning quarterbacks that are the sport radio talk in Dallas.
When they win a game, everyone is talking the Super Bowl, when they lose a game, trade, fire and hire someone else. Just cracks me up. The on and off the wagon Cowboy fan.
Jerry-I write and say he fires Wade and trades Romo in jest as you could see.
With that joking, I still wouldn’t put it past him to make a drastic change like that. It’s in his blood. The man loves to win and there is nothing wrong with that spirit.
Yeah, what a bust Russell turned out to be. But we have seen many of those over the years in the NFL. Ryan Leaf always comes to mind.
Karma is a bit%t and all the ribbing I’ve done to the Cowgirls this week, I’m hoping it doesn’t come back in bite me in my Saints AZZ.
