New Orleans Saints

Tebow wow’d us. Saban bored us. And Twitter made us laugh. What did we learn this week?

As if the first time Alabama and LSU played this year wasn’t bad enough. The nation was treated to another snooze-fest Monday night complete with perhaps the worst quarterback play in BCS Title game history as the Tide [...]

Monday Night in New Orleans, Drew Brees surpassed Dan Marino’s nearly 30 year old single-season passing yards record.
He did it on the Saints last offensive play of the game, a 9 yard TD pass to Darren Sproles while NOLA was already sporting a 30 point lead. This gave Brees the record with 5,087 yards, and a [...]

With all due respect to the college kids, this week is all about the NFL.  What did we learn this week?
-The Buffalo Bills are 3-0 and sitting atop the AFC East thanks to an offense that can score with just about anyone.  Ryan Fitzpatrick (did you know he went to Harvard?) rallied his team from [...]

I’ve always heard that misery loves company. I can firsthand tell you it’s true — I’m in dire need of some right about now.
A little history. I’m a fantasy football virgin. I’ve been playing fantasy baseball since 1990, so I’m not a complete virgin to fantasy sports — just football.
I’ve always been more a baseball [...]

My AFC predictions are in the books.  Now on to the NFC…
Dallas Cowboys– How ‘bout them Cowboys?  The Talented Mr. Romo makes his triumphant return as the signal called, and has a bevy of weapons at his disposal.  Miles Austin and Dez Bryant are the most talented tandem of pass catchers in the league, Jason [...]

With the football season winding down, I decided to expand my horizons on what we learned this week and incorporate some basketball, a little baseball, and some pop culture.  Fun for all!  What did we learn this week… err… last few weeks?
-TCU made my year.  Since October, nobody has honked for the little guy as [...]

Anyone who’s married can tell you there are good times and there are bad times.
And then there are times when you feel like dragging the bitch down the street by her hair.  No?  You must not be New Orleans Saints defensive end, Will Smith.
The former Ohio State standout was busted by the cops after first arguing [...]

Another week of football in the books. Did you learn anything? I sure did. What we learned this week…
-The Oregon Ducks aren’t even fun to watch anymore. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; they’re putting up video game type numbers, and this week’s 60-13 rout of Pac-10 rival UCLA was no different. [...]

I always used to get irritated by the people who insisted football would be better without kickers.  However, after this weekend’s NFL games, I finally understand where they are coming from and now share their frustration. 
No, I am not a Raiders or Saints fan, but I have watched kickers for my teams ruin plenty of games, and [...]

You’re sitting in a holding cell waiting to be interrogated by some asshole cops. They might pull the good cop, bad cop routine, or they might try some hard core scare tactics. Either one of these strategies, however,  are pointless compared to the donut trick.
You put a plate full of donuts in front of someone [...]

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 [...]

Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints, who have to be beside themselves with elation at the moment.
The have won the Super Bowl, 31-17 against the Peyton Manning-led Colts and are now champions of the NFL.
Four years after Hurricane Katrina threatened to strip New Orleans of a football team, they have climbed to the pinnacle of the sport.  [...]
