I moved to the New Orleans area almost 2 years ago (Slidell) and Ricky didn't want to be here as he was never accepted from Ditka trading the farm for him, literally. The Saints 'aints' fans hate him (they REALLY do) and Ricky was never really welcomed here after his first couple of games (course I moved up here about the time he was traded to us). He never produced here, got hurt a couple of seasons, and the saints offense didn't focus on him (so less production). His agent at the time got him his contract so he had to hit so many yards and couldn't due to injuries and the style of the offense. Either way, he wanted to go and so did the fans (epecially after Ditka left). Hasslet is an idiot (IMO) and I wonder why he hasn't been fired yet either after 4 seasons now and they still can't get to the playoffs. I think we have more talent then them, but they are another underachieving team which has NEVER gone very far and the fans are pissed about it (can't blame them....).
