I was born in 1965, the Saints in 1967. I went to my 1st game in 1969. I remember watching Tom Dempsey the kick. I saw Archie looking up at the blue sky in Tulane stadium more than I’d like to remember. I saw the Dome Patrol wreak havoc on every QB that entered the Superdome. I have lived through thick and thin. I have always proudly worn my Black and Gold and proudly spoke of my team to anyone who listens. I’ve seen 13-3 and I’ve seen 1-15. I never once wore a bag on my head. I thought it was disrespectful of the team I was so passionate about. I am part of the WHO DAT NATION! A proud and dedicated bunch. I will persevere. I will bow my head in disgust today with what has happened, but I will never lose faith. I bleed Black and Gold. I always have, I always will. I am a Saint.

TrUE DAT!

The New Orleans Saints will impose no ticket increase on 98 percent of the season ticket holders in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for the 2012 season, a club source said late Tuesday. However, for a sliver of fans in an upper corner, an increase could be in the cards.

New Orleans Saints confirm visit by Seattle linebacker Lofa Tatupu

James Varney, The Times-Picayune

The New Orleans Saints brought free agent linebacker Lofa Tatupu to town for a visit Tuesday, according to a league source. The visit was first reported by NFL Network.

Tatupu sat out the 2011 season after requesting and receiving his release from the Seattle Seahawks. There were reports – never confirmed by him – that he suffered a knee injury and possibly underwent surgery on both knees and that the lingering effect of that kept him off the field last year. Previously, he missed 11 games in 2009 with a torn pectoral muscle.

Saints: Who could stay and who could go – Quarterbacks, Running Backs and Tight Ends

With the season now in the rearview mirror – though some would say not far enough behind with wounds still open – we believe at WWLTV.com it’s time to hit on our yearly “roster check,” our assessment of who should be or should not be with the club come training camp in July.

We don’t think this will help close the wound that the playoff game opened. It might, in fact, open it more and for that we apologize.

For the next few work week days, we’ll go position group by position group (secondary, linebackers, defensive line, offensive line, receivers and specialists, running backs, tight ends and quarterbacks) and give our opinions on the players and situations.

Running backs, Tight ends and Quarterbacks
Running backs: Darren Sproles, Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram, Chris Ivory, Jed Collins
Tight Ends: Jimmy Graham, David Thomas, John Gilmore, Tory Humphrey, Michael Higgins
Quarterbacks: Drew Brees, Chase Danie

Meet Jane Mitchell today.

Tulane Wednesday Feb. 8 @ 6pm

Jane wasn’t a sports fan growing up, but interviewing professional athletes makes me appreciate their journey and what we can learn from them – including giving back

One of the things she emphasizes in her book is the importance of recognizing and exploring the Good Sports Story… not to glaze over hard times/issues etc., but to get to know athletes as people and what drives them and why, especially the good guys. Drew is a great example of how he has stayed true to himself, and I think having known him early, and to be able to share what he said him from the early part of his career, offers a different dimension.

So if you are around Tulane today stop and meet Jane and see what she has to say.. she is a fan of the Who Dat Nation

New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham, who had a remarkable personal odyssey from foster homes to NFL stardom, will be a part of a USA Network special this Friday evening. The show, to air at 6 p.m., features Graham mentoring a teenager in trouble.

The teenager in question is Ashton Randall, 14, of New Orleans. Randall’s father was murdered and his mother lost custody of him due to drug addiction, according to the network. He is thus about to enter a Boy’s Town foster home and Graham is with him to offer support
