Lovely Vegas, Part Two

Saturday started off with me trying to count the drinks I had the night before - I had an initial count that was low, and would actually remember them as the day went on, like they were lousy quarterbacks that skulked about the history of the New Orleans Saints. (”Oh, yes, someone poured a Miller [...]

The Firing of Matt Millen … In the Style of the Bard’s Tale Clue Book

Note from Ice Cream Jonsey:
Friend,
Long have I awaited thy coming of age. Our town of Detroit doth slowly wither under the cursed sorcery of Mangar, spawn of demons. Many hath challenged his power, only to encounter their doom.
One man didst nearly succeed. Matt Millen, the former general manager of the Detroit Lions, became imprisoned here through Mangar’s evil [...]

Saints vs Broncos

I went to the Saints - Broncos game yesterday, and I don’t blame Martin Gramatica for anything. The guy had not missed a kick in a Saints uniform, so he had a lot of credit built up, as far as I was concerned. And all told, it was a great game. The Broncos won, but [...]

Retrospect: the 2004 New Orleans Saints

The 2004 New Orleans Saints are the only team that I have seen pack it in during the second game of the NFL season.
It’s quite true. Years from now history will forget, but I won’t — the 2004 San Francisco 49ers were putting street free agents on their defensive line due to injury. For game [...]

The NFC South - Tradition and Excellence

Greg from Atlanta writes:
How are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looking for this year?

The Jeremy Shockey / Jason Taylor Trades

How nice of the Saints to deal for Jeremy Shockey during football week here at JC!
The deal was a 2nd and 5th round pick in the 2009 draft for Shockey. I had really hoped that the Saints weren’t going to give a second up, but, well. At the same time, the track record of draft [...]
