With that, for the first time in league history The Stolen Goods are uninterested(!) in making any more trades! I mean The Rattler is available, but he can grow up right here at home where he was drafted as a steal. Truly a historic moment. :p
Best Trade:
The Jones Gambit: Eyebrows were raised when the deal was made for Vick. I mean Jones. It was a risk that's burned me before (no need to know the details), but I've had a fascination with him since he was a rookie. On-and-off acquistions through the years in redraft. I had my eyes on him when I joined the league. Why I moved the moment he got the job.
Worst Trade:
Bye Shakir! I Gave You Away For Nothing!: Rookie Fever Panic. Absolute buffoonery on my part. KR didn't even have to say a word. I played myself!
Medium Trade:
Henry For Fields: Just a positional move in points. A Win-Win.

The product I'm peddling this week is The Rattler, The Rattlesnake himself. Before you dismiss him, please consider Rattler's place in New Orleans Saints history:
Archie Manning = Theodore Roosevelt: Modern American/Saints legend. Big Personality, Big Policy/Play. His legacy lived on through his relative/sons.
Aaron Brooks = Calvin Coolidge: Steady President/QB during a relatively prosperous time for America/Saints. Nothing compared to what comes after, but at the time this was good enough.
Sean Payton = Franklin Delano Roosevelt: One of the most consequential figures in American/Saints history. Took America/Saints from a regional/divisional entity to global/leaguewide dominance.
Drew Brees = Dwight D. Eisenhower: Built the road that pushed America/Saints to new heights, bringing super power status/a championship home.
Spencer Rattler = John F. Kennedy: Camelot. Beautiful. A Prodigy. Built For This. Well known in his youth, maybe some youthful exuberance, but matured into a man that made The Dream come true.
Special Extra!
Tyler Shough/William Henry Harrison: Died/Career ended early. Too old! Never got to govern/play. They say he died in his sleep, but I heard he was secretly shot by some ol' Irish bloke named Kennedy off a curse from Tecumsah
(I don't think Shough has done anything to the Native American community, but I don't know him personally!)

I hate it. Josh Downs pushed me to this. Cedric Tillman, you have been promoted! Why won't these damn rookie WRs grow up already... :/
At least the prodigal son Darnell has returned home. There was a full moon on Sunday so it's understandable he was unavailable.
