Pamphilion's Justification for the Release of the William's Audio
"In the interest of full disclosure:
The only reason why I beeped out the audio for the names of the Saints players is because they were getting paid for performance bonuses, $200 for turnovers was the biggest haul I heard. This is a LONG-held league wide practice and in the mind of any reasonable person without an ax to grind, in no way should it be mentioned in the same sentence as a "Bounty."
PERIOD. End of Story.

The NFL Playoffs for Dummies
Hilarious!
I think before we move too far away from Thursday night's game, I have to give a nod to New Orleans wide receiver Marques Colston. I know he fumbled on the Saints' first series, leading to a short field and an easy second touchdown for the Packers. But late in the fourth quarter, with the Saints down eight and driving to try to tie it up with no timeouts left in the last minute, he did something pretty brave, and smart.
Drew Brees threw him a 23-yard post, and Colston made a diving catch with 31 seconds left. The dive fractured his collarbone. If he lay on the turf with, say, 27 seconds left, the officials would have called for an automatic 10-second runoff because the Saints had no timeouts left. Then the Saints ran to the line, Colston knowing his collarbone was broken, and he lined up because there wasn't time to get off the field, and Brees threw a short pass to Darren Sproles, and then Colston had to get back to the line again for Brees to spike the ball. Tick, tick, tick. Finally, with three seconds left, Colston was able to get off the field. Now he's out for at least a month. Those are the kinds of sequences you remember about a player. At least I will.

He has a neck injury and concussion but thankfully is ok.

The best players ever to play under a Jim Mora coached team. Saints make a good showing.
Asomugha's Advice to Rookies
Players often get a bad rap during their first or second year if they struggle with this transition, especially if they are high draft picks. I think it's important to look at a young player's work ethic, his football intelligence, and his desire to become great. Even if a player gets off to a slow start, it is those traits that will allow him to eventually become successful in his career.
I thought of Jenkins when I read this. I've heard of number of Saints fans even going so far as to call last year's rookie corner and this year's rookie safety a bust. This quote from the future Hall member was enough for me to temper my short-term expectations.
Brees is Coming Back with New Orleans Aug 31, 2006
Great dated article on Drew Brees initial experience moving into the city.
"The first time he had us in a huddle, he let the guys know: ‘I’m here to lead you to a Super Bowl and anything else is despicable,’ " Saints receiver Joe Horn said. "He was scrappy. He sounded like a warrior."
I hope he'll be good!
Apparently our Falcons friends THINK they signed Ingram 22 days ago
Seems some Falcons fans jumped the gun in assuming he was signed when he wasn't.
Poor, poor dirty birds.
Was Grant Really All That Bad?

Let me start by saying I am not, nor ever was, a Charles Grant supporter. But with the vast amount of Grant-hate going around I am beginning to wonder how much is actually justified. Grant's main purpose, as a left defensive end, was to defend the run. In passing down situations he would be replaced by McCray. Yet even in this run-stuffing role he still finished the season with 5.5 sacks. And heck, in his position, he was SUPPOSED to be a beefy guy. We're hearing the criticism now that Alex Brown may not be heavy enough to play left end.
Now I realize that this production may not have equalled his large contract and the couple years before last he hadn't produced, but was he actually as dreadful as we've been saying? I look forward to CSC's faithful comments and statistics to shed some light here.

Probably the worst mock draft I've seen yet.
Bulger to the Saints?

With Mark Bulger just being released from the Rams, would he be a viable backup to Brees? He's only 33 and is a two-time Pro-Bowler (2004,2006). It seems as though the reason he was cut was not because of a decline in talent but because of his frequent injuries (which is reasonable when you consider the Rams OL). He's known for his great work ethic and leadership skills and was an intricate part of the Rams prolific offense in the early 2000s after he beat Warner out. He'd be cheaper than Jason Cambell and would fit our system better, and it would be a homecoming to the team that drafted him. If him being injury-prone is the only issue, why not go for him? Unless of course he finds a way to break his tail bone sitting on the bench.
Best Plays in Saints History

Pat made an interesting observation on his NFC South blog on espn.com when he said Meachem's strip and score was one of the top 5 or 10 plays in franchise history. I was just wondering what other people consider the Saints' best historical plays. I consider the "hot-potato" play where it seemed every Saints player got a hand on the ball to run the length of the field against the Jaguars with no time left to score a few years back to be the best (even though Carney missed the extra point to lose). What others could be considered in the top 5?
