@SaintsIgloo Cool to see that you finally got three likes on a tweet! Only took you mentioning me!

@SaintsIgloo Nobody cares about your opinion, if we’re being honest

@MichaelBalkoJr Dude tried being a Saints insider and doesn't even know they switched to a 3-4, left out Bresee and Granderson is a starter over Jordan
