Obviously I hope you reconsider, but regardless, thank you for helping rebuild New Orleans and getting the roster in line with league requirements. I know it wasn't an easy job.

Don't quit now man!!!

You got past the hard part...from 1988-1994 the francise had no 1st or 3rd round picks and only 1 2nd rounder as Smirt traded away all his high picks to win now!!

You finally have all 21 draft picks the next 3 seasons and have had 2 years of 1st rounders to build around in 95 and 96.

You have a couple rookie WRs and a nice MLB & FS plus 2 great kickers to build around. You need a QB, RB and a couple CBs.

If you do leave, you set up the next owner but I hope you ride it out!

Good game Express...turnovers in the 4th gave us some easy scores, it was a close match the first three quarters.

Thanks for the kind words, but I'm really leaving. My rookie RB, who was the only thing I had going on offense, is now down for the count. I have nothing left to look forward to but the tank, and anybody could do that. I have no players that I want to sign, so now would be a good time to leave. Next season is the first that all those high draft picks can start to be cut.

Good game pdoug, injuries have decimated your offense. That's a pretty tough situation, as a lot of the injuries are longer term. Good luck and see you soon.

GG Invaders.

Well, I don't know if "good" qualifies, but certainly interesting. A crazy finish.

If there was ever a game to wave the white flag, this was it. You guys were well prepared and humming right along. Best of luck to you- keep up the good work!!

Good game Bulls...weird game...it was much closer than the final score would indicate.
