I have been a Saints fan as long as I can remember. Have to say Deuce McAllister is my favourite Saint of all time as he is truly a class act on and off the field. Also have a soft spot for the San Diego Chargers (have to have an AFC team to root for if the unthinkable happens when it comes the playoffs). As for hockey, hometown team is the Winnipeg Jets (Version 2) so that is where my NHL allegiance lies. However, since my wife Bre has accepted the Saints as her football team, I returned the favour and have a soft spot for the Maple Leafs as my fallback NHL team. Baseball is without a doubt the most boring sport on the planet.

Ingram Toe that ate Roast Beef...on the mend...
Mark Ingram (turf toe surgery) has shed his crutches.
The Saints expect Ingram to participate fully in their offseason program after his early-January surgery. In terms of on-field risk of aggravation, the only concern would be if the Saints were playing football or running and cutting anytime soon. They obviously aren't. Ingram will be 100 percent for 2012.
Spagnuolo to Meet with Saints on Wednesday
Per Adam Schefter:
Ex-Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo will reportedly meet with the Saints on Wednesday.
The Eagles' plans for Juan Castillo are still unclear, which could leave the Saints and Colts battling for Spags' services. Colts GM Ryan Grigson has a relationship with Spagnuolo from their time together in Philly. The Saints can offer a contending roster whereas Indy is starting over again after a 2-14 season.
Goodbye Gregg Williams?
Rams named Gregg Williams as defensive coordinator.
Gregg Williams reportedly has agreed to become Jeff Fisher's defensive coordinator with the St. Louis Rams.
The NFL Network reported Monday that the Saints' defensive coordinator, whose contract expired after the season, agreed to join Fisher in St. Louis. Williams has called Fisher one of his closest friends in the coaching business.
Great season Saints fans. BUTT that's all for this year folks!

Injury Update - Harper with a High Ankle Sprain?
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Saints SS Roman Harper is dealing with a "significant" ankle injury.
It sounds like a possible high ankle sprain. Harper must have suffered the injury late in last Saturday's win over the Lions. It's "a new one," reports beat writer Jeff Duncan, "and it's significant." Harper is one of the league's better in-the-box, run-support safeties, so his absence would be major against San Francisco's run-first offense in the Divisional round.
Ask a Saints Fan - Playoff Edition
Good day Niners fans! Grumps from Canal Street Chronicles here.
First let me start off by congratulating you on a great regular season record and a "welcome back to the playoffs". You have to love the direction of your franchise and it all starts with getting your hands on Jim Harbaugh. What a difference a great coach makes.
Now to business. After our win over the Detroit Lions this past Saturday, the Saints are off to face the 49ers this Saturday in the early game. Will the elements at Candlestick be a factor? Will the Niners D be able to slow down Drew Brees and Company? Will Frank Gore run wild?
Discuss all these points and more right here. If you have any questions about the Saints, ask away and someone should be around to answer your questions shortly.
Here's to a great game this weekend.

Lance Moore - Officially Ruled out of Wild Card Round
Lance Moore (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Wild Card round. Moore is out indefinitely. Robert Meachem should start against Detroit.
Happy New Year to Football Fans One and All
As the regular season comes to a close and the start of a new year is looming for everyone. Just wanted to wish all Saints Fans (as well as any visitors from around the world wibe web of tubes) a very happy and prosperous new year. And as most people are busily setting their resolutions for the coming year and look toward the fresh start (for those of us who have will power that is), it is also a good time to reflect back on what has transpired in the past.
So I thought to myself, why not have a little post for fans to share their favorite (or if you are a "the glass is half empty" type of personality your least favorite) Saints moment of 2011. But please, feel free to not stop there. What better way to get to know your fellow CSC'ers than to share your top personal moment of 2011 as well.
Let's start 2012 on a perfect note with a win over those Panthers (even better if the Rams upset the 49ers).
Saints Backfield. Man Sproles looks out of place.
Absolute hilarity on the AcmePackingCompany Open Thread
I had to share this I laughed so hard...in the middle of their Open Game thread this poster put a message titled "Meanwhile in Minneapolis" then the following:
________________________________________________
Ponder: Man, I can’t believe we’re only down by one against the Saints right now. We could actually pull off an upset.
Gerhart: I know, fellow white teammate. This is awesome!
Peterson: Sup crackers, believe we actually this close?
(Gerhart and Ponder exchange confused looks)
Gerhart: Are you talking to us?
Peterson: Yea….
Ponder: Cool…
Gerhart: Yea, I’m excited that we’re this close rig…(Brees throws TD)
Peterson: Dammit!
Ponder: Well, we’re still within one possession. (Goes 3 and out)
Gerhart: Well, not great but our defense has been playi…(Brees throws TD)
Peterson: God dammit!
Ponder: It’s not that bad, guys. We’ve been down before. We can’t give up (Punts)
Ponder: Ok, so we need to get som….(Brees throws TD)
Peterson:…..
Gerhart: Hey Adrian…
Peterson: Don’t talk to me.
Gerhart: Well, there goes that…
Brees: Sup losers.
Ponder: Drew Brees? What are you doing on our sidelines? And if you’re here, then who is playing QB?
Brees: Oh, that’s Tom. Yea, he’s with the Make a Wish Foundation. His wish was to score a TD in an NFL game.
Ponder: But he’s like 12, and has canc….(Tom throws TD)
Brees: Way to go, buddy!
Peterson: F*** this, I’m getting traded.

Ask a Saints Fan on Daily Norseman
Venturing back to the land of the Purple. Let's all be on our best behavior.
Ask a Saints Fan
Hello to all Vikings fans. Grumps from Canal Street Chronicles here.
Our two teams, depending on who you speak to, have formed a bit of a out of divisional rivalry.
I was supposed to be at the game this coming Sunday, but due to family committments had to sell my tickets to a good friend (who also happens to be a Vikings fan). So it appears that I will have to settle for coming over to the Daily Norseman and speak with you fans this way (as opposed to in the stands and in the beer lines).
Will AP run wild? Will Ponder bounce back against a Saints secondary that allows a tonne of yards through the air? Debate these topics and more, right here!
Feel free to ask anything you care to about the Saints, make predictions for the game, or trash talk as you see fit.
Someone will be around to answer your questions.

Hello Titans fans! Grumps from Canal Street Chronicles here.
Week 14 in the NFL has our teams scheduled to match up on your home field. Considering how the Saints have played on the road this year, you must be feeling pretty good about your situation. In case you aren’t as up to date on the Saints record well it’s 9-3 and each of those three losses came on the road. Considering that both teams are currently on hot streaks and steam rolling a path on their way to claiming their spots for playing in post season this should be a fairly intense game.
Will CJ2K gash the Saints D for a monster game? WIll Jimmy Graham continue to be a nightmare for opposing teams D? Debate these questions and more right here!

Suh Suspension Upheld.
The NFL has upheld Lions DT Ndamukong Suh's two-game suspension for violating the league's on-field conduct policy after an appeal attempt.
Suh will sit out Sunday's game against the Saints and next week's home game versus the Vikings. The Lions should be pleased if they emerge from the two-game stretch 1-1. Heading into the New Orleans game, Detroit should be quite concerned with its pass defense. Suh won't be rushing quarterbacks and drawing double teams, and CB Chris Houston (knee) and FS Louis Delmas (knee) both missed practice all week. Drew Brees could shred them in Week 13.
Vikings to Release McNabb
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Vikings are set to release QB Donovan McNabb on Thursday.
We've seen speculation on this ever since the Broncos granted Kyle Orton his release. McNabb will be subject to the waivers process with $1.5 million remaining on his 2011 salary. He would certainly have interest in playing for his hometown Bears, who have a higher waiver claim than the Texans. We're not sure he'd be much of an upgrade on Caleb Hanie, however.

Hello Lions fans! Grumps from Canal Street Chronicles here.
It’s time for our teams to go Prime Time this week, after the NFL powers that be mercifully moved the game between our two talented teams to the evening slot, replacing the one sided shellacking that will be Patriots vs. Colts (seriously, who thinks the Pats will be able to keep up with the high-powered Colts Offense).
Feel free to ask anything you care to about the Saints, make predictions for the game, or trash talk as you see fit.

Suh Suspended for Two Games
Lions DT Ndamukong Suh has been suspended by the NFL for two games without pay.
It's a well-deserved ban after Suh stomped on Packers right guard Evan Dietrich-Smith last Thursday. With nine personal fouls in 27 career NFL games, Suh earned the league's first multi-game ban since the Albert Haynesworth incident in 2006. Although he can appeal the ban and play against the Saints this Sunday, we're not expecting him to do so after apologizing to commissioner Roger Goodell earlier this week. Sammie Hill and first-round rookie Nick Fairley are candidates to fill in.

Hello Giants fans! Grumps from Canal Street Chronicles here.
Saints fans owe you an apology as we are apparently all a little slow in posting this over here. Bye week boredom will do that to you.
Your very own Willgfass was kind enough to start something similar over on CSC and we have been bombarding him and a few other G-Men fans with questions (and of course some good natured trash talking). Well it finally dawned on us that since maybe not all Big Blue fans cared to mosey over to CSC, that maybe we should post something similar up here.
Feel free to ask anything you care to about the Saints, make predictions for the game, or trash talk as you see fit.
Someone will be around to answer your questions.
Happy thanksgiving to all who celebrate it tomorrow, and here is to an exciting game where nobody from either team ends up on IR (way to much of that lately it seems).

Tebow Time for Good in Denver?
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Broncos have waived QB Kyle Orton.
Rotoworld:
Broncos waived QB Kyle Orton.
Interesting. The Broncos weren't going back to Orton, so the hope is that a QB-needy team such as the Bears, Texans, or Chiefs will claim the remainder of his $7.4 million salary. The obvious dot-connecting is with the Bears and former coach Lovie Smith, though Mike Martz's offense is much different than the one Orton ran under Ron Turner from 2005-2008.
Saints - Lions Goes PrimeTime
Colts versus Pats is bumped. Brees gets to shine on SNF.
The NFL has flexed the Lions vs. Saints game to their featured Sunday Night game at 8:30 p.m. on NBC. Dec. 4. The game was originally scheduled for a 1 p.m. start in New Orleans.
Bucs Claim Haynesworth
Bucs claimed DT Albert Haynesworth off waivers from the Patriots.
It's an ideal landing spot for Haynesworth, who should be in for big snaps immediately with Gerald McCoy out for the season. It's a curious move by the Bucs, however, who now have to pick up the remainder of Haynesworth's 2011 salary and will be sticking a clubhouse cancer in the middle of an extremely young locker room. If Bill Belichick couldn't get through to Haynesworth, it's unlikely Raheem Morris will.
2010 Saints 4th Round Pick Woods Released by Seahawks
Slow news day. Depth potential? Anyone remember why he was waived?
Haynesworth Released by the Patriots.
Patriots waived DT Albert Haynesworth.
The Boston Globe's Greg Bedard pointed out Monday night that Haynesworth turned in three of the worst plays ever seen by a defensive tackle in Week 9. Haynesworth got "ragdolled easy," pancaked, and then fell down with a soft shove against the Giants, leading to a sideline confrontation with DL coach Pepper Johnson. Haynesworth still has the talent to excel, but his heart isn't it. It will be interesting to see if Eagles DL coach Jim Washburn, who had Haynesworth in Tennessee, will push for a waiver claim.
Is it Officially time for concern regarding Ingram?
I don't know about anyone else, but I am beginning to wonder if some of the CSC faithful haven't been correct in questioning the severity of Mark Ingram's injury.
As posted on Rotoworld:
Mark Ingram (heel) was again absent from Saints practice Thursday.
Barring a surprise return to full practice Friday, Ingram is unlikely to play against the Buccaneers. If Ingram's sidelined, Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory should again split early-down and short-yardage work with Darren Sproles assuming his typical passing-down role. Thomas will be a recommended flex play in 10-to-12 team leagues.
Happy Birthday Darren Sharper!

Charles Brown goes to IR - Saints sign Ray Willis
Saints placed OT Charles Brown (hip flexor) on injured reserve, ending his season.
It's a tough blow for Brown, who shined as the Saints' fill-in starter at right tackle with Zach Strief nursing an injury of his own. Coach Sean Payton revealed that Brown injured his hip flexor and will require surgery. He's been injury prone through two seasons, but should maintain a roster spot in 2012.
Saints signed OT Ray Willis, formerly of the Dolphins.
Willis, 29, was a fourth-round pick in the 2005 draft. The Florida State alum will provide right tackle depth with Charles Brown going on injured reserve.
Jimmy Graham - ACL
And by ACL I refer to him as the Astounding Catch Leader for all NFL Tight Ends with 45 receptions. Good on you Jimmy.
And if you thought ACL meant anything else...hopefully that livened up your Friday. GO SAINTS!

Mark Ingram Officially Out
As seen on Rotoworld:
The Saints have ruled out Mark Ingram (heel) for Week 8 at St. Louis.
Ingram didn't get on the practice field this week, even though the Saints are calling him "day to day." We have a sneaking suspicion that this is a multi-week injury. Look for Pierre Thomas to handle the majority of inside carries against the Rams, with Darren Sproles as the best bet for red-zone touches and all passing-game work, as usual. Chris Ivory may be active for the game, but has just three practices under his belt since coming off PUP.
