Post your reaction when the New Orleans Saints signed Panther legend John Kasay

Not as catchy as obese Salesmen

Yea, but I've been an obese salesman since 1997. That's exactly 12 years longer than you have been a Saints fan.

Kasay's explaination on why he wanted to play for New Orleans...

Kasay admitted becoming comfortable with a new team on short notice would be an adjustment, but he was perfect on the six field goals he attempted during practice, at distances from 19 to 33 yards from alternating hash marks.

"This is a big change, obviously," Kasay said. "I spent a lot of years in Charlotte, and this is a great opportunity. I'm very grateful for the chance. (The Panthers) had some success for sure, but we lost our fair share, too. I had a few (winning kicks against the Saints), but those are in the rear-view mirror now."This is a real blessing; this is a very talented team. To have the opportunity to watch practice today, the tempo they use, their attention to detail, the things that they do, there's the making for a good year."[/I]http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf...asay_cons.html

There's a nice back-handed bitch slap to the way our team has been run (coaching wise).

Don't think it was done intentionally, but he obviously noticed a huge difference in how the practices are being run. Can't blame him for wanting to be a part of a winning organization. Also in the article says that he was perfect on all his kicks during the first few days of practice.

Apparently this is a recurring theme with the Saints. Here is an article about them signing pro-bowl center Olin Kreutz this offseason...

Saints Coach Sean Payton said center Olin Kreutz, the 13-year veteran New Orleans signed Friday turned down higher paying offers from other teams.

The attraction, Payton made clear but left unsaid, was a shot at winning a Super Bowl. Kreutz joined general manager Mickey Loomis to watch the Saints practice Thursday evening and what he saw was worth more than more dollars somewhere else, according to Payton.

"He actually had a flight out this morning and he never got on it," Payton said.

Coaching and Front office are obviously doing things the right way in New Orleans.

I thought - Were is my god now? Or I was told that. I forget

My reaction. Well, other than thinking that we might have a shot at a good return or two against the Saints, I didn't really care one way or the other.

i am so glad that the huddle is cracking down on personal attacks.

Yeah, as posted in the earlier thread, Saints apparently use their punter Moorstead for kickoffs anyway. Thats why the could afford to bring him in just for his accurate FG kicking.

Saints do not equal winning organization.

They have been a winning team for the past few years....that I give you.

But as an organization, they are one of the biggest losign organizations in the HISTORY of the NFL.

Apparently John Kasay isn't intrested in playing for the 1978 Saints squad...

As you just said they are winning now, and John Kasay just signed with them now. All I'm saying is that you can't blame a guy for wanting a chance to win a superbowl before his career ends, just like Olin Kruetz is as well.

LOL, we would have had a little more success if not for his kickoff at the end of SB 38.

New Orleans knows all about losing, they did it for 40 years.

He should show a little more gratitude to an organization that bent over backwards to accommodate him for several years while his skills were waning.

I'm grateful for the contributions Kasay made as a Panther, but he's the enemy now... show him no mercy.

He did have a chance. He couldn't even hit the field on a kickoff in the Super Bowl.
