Comes on in 30 minutes!!!

sorry about that when it is coming on probably would have helped

 

[Super Dad]

I think he will be coming up soon.

 

[Purple Haze]

Turned it on. Thanks!

 

[Spoozer]

Actually I think they are talking about the possible rule on banning long hair in the NFL.

 

[Super Dad]

He is ON NOW

Talking about our defense now. Says that we weren't quite sure how to utilize Reggie Bush because Deuce went down. Says that really hurt us and made our defense be on the field more, but he thinks we will do much better thisyear now that we've added Vilma, Morgan, Gay, etc

 

[Saint Tex]

Talks about Memphis in the bb tournament and how he picked them to go all the way. He played bb in high school, but knows he couldn't have played on college level. Talks about free throws and how Memphis needs to hustle so it doesn't go to that.

Saints--what was dif in 06 and 07? Lots of newness with Bush in 06--teams didn't know how we would use him. in 07 lost Duece, no thunder and lightning and D is on the field more.

New D additions--new players good additions. we're doing good job of adding depth to D and maybe D won't put as much pressure on offense.

Talks about his charity work in South Florida.

Long hair--telling him to cut it is like having a bias. His parents are from the islands and it's a cultural thing. Not many have long hair, fans think it's cool, and it seems like targeting the few who have it. Not an issue with the fans. Unless Benson or Rita comes to him, he won't cut his hair.

That's typing as fast as I can. If I missed stuff, maybe someone can fill in.

Also talked about cutting the long hair. He said it was ridiculous to target the 2-3% of the people in the NFL with it, because it is a cultural thing for him, and could be for other people as well. He says the only way he would cut it is if Tom Benson or Loomis themselves came to him and made him cut it.

Mike is a classy guy.

NOTHING was mentioned about injury

 

[jtalton]

I never liked MM until today. I have been a lurker fan of the saints since i was a kid and have become a die hard the last few year, and MM always rubbed me the wrong way but i got to say he sounds like a very good guy that gives back to the community and now i like him.

 

[Saint Tex]

NOTHING was mentioned about injury

That's right. Sort of a disappointing interview. More about Memphis playing tonight and the stuff we want to hear--how's the knee--never even mentioned.

 

[AARPSaint]

Good job on the recaps! He implied that the possible ban on long hair was culturally biased--his family is from the islands. Nice interview--and thanks to those who gave us the heads-up (and to my employer for giving me vacation this week so I could watch it!)..
