—Former Saints defensive end Joe Johnson has been chosen to enter the Saints Hall of Fame. He'll become the 35th person to be enshrined during ceremonies in early November.

DId you get that? Arguably the worst franchise in the NFL has Thirty-five (35) players/coaches/what have you in it's Hall of Fame. Can anybody name 35 good players in New Orleans history? Archie Manning. Pat Swilling. Ricky Jackson. Willie Roaf. George Rogers, although he's better known for being drafted ahead of Lawrence Taylor. Maybe Bum Phillips. After that we're getting into guys like Bobby Hebert and Wayne Gandy. Maybe they put Reggie Bush in already.

Seriously, this is like the Patriots, who have had much more success and 14 more years of history, (and 12 or so guys in their HoF), enshrining guys like Pat Harlow, Marv Cook, and Tony Eason.

---Ah...I see you beat me to the punch. They just elect 1-2 guys every year just to do it I guess. I know that the Patriots just had a fan vote to add Stanley Morgan, but I hope we don't continue to do it automatically. Luckily, thank to recent years, we should have some solid candidates.

There are two Patriots on the all time AFL team displayed in Canton Ohio. Pro football Hall of Famer Nick Buoniconti is one. The other one isn't even on the Patriots Hall of Fame, though many of his teammates are.

Can you guess who this all time AFL team member is?

Metaphors

From Mora at the ceremony:

"Hall of Fame? Don't talk about...Hall of Fame? You kidding me? Hall of Fame? I just hope I can coach another game!"

When asked about what the honor meant to him:

"Seriously, the Saint's Hall of Fame doesn't mean diddley poo to me!"

Pats Fanatic

What i think is incredible is the fact they went 20 years with out a winning record. No 9 -7 or 8-6 but they have a HOF, why on earth would you want to remember that.
