Congrats Saints! You're not the NFL's dumbest team...

"Care to get my back??"

     Amidst more controversy than an 1980 episode of "Dallas", you have made the first good decision of the 2012 NFL year.  
     Saints fans have been foaming at the mouth to get Drew Brees locked into a long term contract, and rightly so.  Drew is arguably one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL today.  Having a season that was better than the great Dan Marino, and taking your team from the "A'ints" back to the pride of the bayou once again.  
     Having not gotten Drew locked down would have been the dumbest decision made since the Steelers cut Johnny U back in 1955.  Not to sound ignorant, I understand that times are tough everywhere.  The economy still smells as good as the south end of a north bound elephant, which means people can't afford to go to games and spend $300 for parking, tickets and 2 luke warm beers.  Tom Benson made an investment in the Saints future.  With the right tools, I could see the Saints winning 2 more championships before Drew rides off into the sunset.  
     Congrats Tom Benson and the rest of the Saints organization for doing something so obvious that even Miss Cleo could have gotten it right!

"My magic 8 ball says to sign Drew."

Saints fans have to be some of the most faithful I have ever seen...period. From the inaugural season in '67, those paper-bag wearing fans have stood strong.  Hell, they herald Bobby Herbert as a king on Bourbon Street.  And now that they have something to be proud of, it is threatened to be ripped away faster than a plate of freshly made benyas.  

     Also, let this show those young hot shots that think they deserve 100 million guaranteed fresh out of college (I'm looking at you Michael Crabtree), players get paid.  Go out and do your best, and you will be taken care of.  Expect the world on a silver platter and find out how long you will be kept around.  The world wants production and Drew Brees is the definition of it.  We all knew that he would get signed eventually, perhaps after he held out for the preseason. Possibly into the season.  I mean come on, no one can be dumb enough to let Drew Brees go, right...... Right??

"Drew Cheese? Never heard of him."

These aren't the droids your looking for... But this is the fantasy football advice you need!
