I give the football gods credit. Most Saints fans probably braced for OBJ to pick another team over us. So, we were mentally ready for the age old “The Saints were really close to signing *superstar player*, BUT...” tweet. And still, the football gods found a way to make the pain of being letdown hit us hard.
All week every insider had their “sources”. Oh, the New England Patriots are the favorite. Oh, now the Green Bay Packers are the favorites. Hold on, it’s the Saints, the Saints are the favorites. Watch out for the Kansas City Chiefs though, now they are the favorites to land OBJ.
