What the hello?

So, the Saints signed Randall Gay. You know where the FCO is goin' with this one. 

Gay's stats in 39 career games (watch out, these numbers are mind blowin'): 14 starts, 5 interceptions, 1 fumble recovery, 86 tackles, and 12 passes defensed. And for that, he's getting $17 mil. Wow. I hate to break the news to my pops, o he of Saints fandom, but these kinds of deals are the reason his team ain't done jack-doo doo. Also, how much of that $17 mil is because of the Patriot Effect -- guys getting overpaid because they looked good while with the Pats.

I love the comments from readers below the article. The excitement is almost unrestrained. People honestly think that Randall Gay is going to make that team better. I love the comment that says he's "a leader." Really? He was? The Randall Gay that played for the Pats? Huh. Was he a captain? Did he start? Hmmm. My favorite comment has to be the guy who asks "Who on earth is Randall Gay?" and follow up with "I can only assume he's good to get paid money like that." 

Oh, Saints people, prepare to be underwhelmed.
