Point?nigel said:Manning didnt want to play in San Diego, but they drafted him anyway.
Good point, but I can't see the NFL turning its back on the city now......unless they guaranteed them the Superbowl every year.Starkiller said:On the flip side, Brian, the Saints are the team most likely to move to Los Angeles. And he would LOVE to be the toast of LA again.
Saints season ticket sales have been "awesome".Starkiller said:New Orleans was barely a viable NFL market before Katrina hit. I think that after 1 year back in New Orleans, the NFL isn't going to force them to stay. Benson may be forced to sell, but they won't be there anymore.
Let's see how the tickets sell once all the cheap seats have been sold out...Hoffa said:
Yeah, it gets harder then. A lot of corporate sponsership left. But I hope they do well and stay in NO. It's a great place that needs to revive, and having an NFL team only helps. They supported the Saints for a long time while they were losing a lot of games.Starkiller said:Let's see how the tickets sell once all the cheap seats have been sold out...
:ha:Brian said:Now back to the Leinart discussion.....assuming the Saints will be in the Chocolate City.
Brian said:Point?
But they can, and have dictated were they end up...or don't end up. That was the point, but thanks for the lesson in hair splitting.nigel said:My point is that players dont dictate whether or not a team drafts them. Besides, I have heard nothing from Leinart indicating that he doesnt want to play for the Saints.
Eli said he wouldnt sign with SD. Why would you want a player who doesnt want to play for you on your team?Vigsted said:You need to remember that Eli didn't force San Diego to trade him, rather San Diego suckered the Giants into a great deal. San Diego had Rivers rated about as high as Eli, so they got what they wanted and then some.
Had Eli been the sole elite prospect in that draft he would be riding the bench in San Diego right now, or he would have had to go through another draft.
