Greg Paulus Signs With the Saints. Wait, No He Didn’t

I am going to preface this entire article by saying that I absolutely despise everything Duke. I grew up as a Kentucky basketball fan, so you can understand my hatred (The name Christian Laettner makes me sick).

Earlier this week, Bleacher Report and Nola.com both reported that Greg Paulus signed with the Saints after a weekend minicamp to possibly compete for the back-up job behind Drew Brees. But other numerous sources are now reporting that this is not true….and thank God.

I have never understood the fascination with Greg Paulus. He was an average point guard at best while he was at Duke, even losing his starting job his senior year.

He didn’t exactly wow me with his 1 year under-center at Syracuse, as they finished 4-8 while being in the worst BCS conference. I understand he was out of football for 4 years, but it’s not like he was just sittin’ around being a lazy bum. He was too busy jerking off Coack K.

But is it really possible that the Saints could be interested in Paulus? He does kind of resemble Drew Brees in regards to their stature – Paulus is 6’1” 180 lbs, while Brees is only 6’ but weighs 209 lbs.

They are both multi-sport athletes, as we all saw Drew Brees’ switch-hitting softball skills a couple weeks ago. But is it enough for the Saints to give Paulus a chance?

In all likelihood, no. The Saints are coming off a championship season, and while Drew Brees isn’t exactly a young gun anymore, he isn’t going to be sitting in a rocking chair at a nursing home doing a Just For Men commercial anytime soon.

But at the same time, you never know. Paulus might have a really sweet vicodin hook-up.
