A different take on the Hornets-Lakers series.
I get a little too pretentious with this post, Free Darko style, but the ultimate point (that Chris Paul has settled into KG's old role as Most Tragic Figure in the NBA) is pretty good, I think. I don't know if it quite qualifies as a "liberated fan" approach, but I think it manages to articulate a broader reason to appreciate Chris Paul's moments of brilliance.
Saints Needs/Prospects and My Mock Draft

Hey y'all, I'm back. Sorry I couldn't post at length here during the season, but it was a busy semester. I made a blog, the aptly-titled Walter FTW, where I mostly write about sports. True to my calling, I made a mock draft for the first time yesterday, but I'll stop pimping the site. I've got my first-round pick for the Saints, along with some points on needs and prospects, after the jump.
Safeties: Yes, They're Important

I’ve made a big deal about safeties in the past on this here Chronic, as they’re not only fun to watch, but also criminally undervalued. A common belief is that you’d rather have a shutdown corner, or a great linebacker, than a great safety, whose benefits are often intangible and inconsistent. And safeties, not unlike the NHL, also don’t translate terribly well to television, leaving them relatively ignored. Hopefully, by the time that all five of you finish reading this post, you’ll think differently about safeties, and, hopefully, be a little ashamed of yourselves. It’s the least I can do.

Am I Alone On This?

Generally speaking, I'm a cautiously pessimistic fan, the "well, looks like rain" type of guy forged in the fires of dismal Saints seasons and refined with heartbreaking playoff loss after heartbreaking playoff loss for the Colts. Despite that, I've really been pleased with the Saints' performance the past few years, at least regarding the offense. Number one two years out of three by traditional and advanced stats isn't bad; it's our defense, and really only our "pass defense," that's keeping us back from a Super Bowl. That said, I think I'm the only guy on this site who doesn't want to see LT in the gold and black.

Thoughts on the Draft
by Walter FTW on Jan 22, 2009 1:50 AM EST

Ever since that last play against Carolina, I've been thinking about the Draft. I'm pretty knowledgeable, as college football fans go; mainly my experience is with the SEC, but I get around, so to speak. Unlike most college fans in the South, however, I give a damn about the NFL, and I give a very special damn about the Saints. Naturally then I feel morally obligated to start a discussion on the Draft for CSC that doesn't involve known mental midget Todd McShay or known appletini drinker Mel Kiper. Here are some thoughts on defensive prospects who have declared for the upcoming Draft:
