Bruuuce

No not Bruce Springteen who brought down the house while bitchslapping the President at Jazzfest. The guy we're excited about today is Grambling State quarterback Bruce Eugene who signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent. This might turn out to be the sleeper pick of the draft. Remember, when in doubt while choosing football players, always go with the fat guy. Also this now makes two years in a row that we got the quarterback I most wanted.

Season tickets are still on sale and going fast if Rita Benson is to be believed
The Saints ticket office was open during draft weekend. It was fully staffed and everyone was busy all day taking orders, said Mike Stanfield, Saints vice president of ticket and suite sales.

"It was big — really big," Stanfield said of weekend season ticket sales, although he didn't provide specifics. Single game tickets won't go on sale until later this year, "if there are any single game tickets left," he said.

Even before the draft, Saints executive Rita Benson LeBlanc, the owner's granddaughter, said sales were on pace with 2003, when the Saints set a franchise record for season tickets sold with about 54,000.
Um... we cannot be responsible for anything that happens if you choose to believe something a Benson tells you.
