A little discussion about the 2009 Most Valuable Player Award - Stampede Blue
Sounds like a bunch of Colts homers over there. I agree that Manning is having an MVP type season, but the way some dismiss Brees as an MVP candidate makes little sense.
New Orleans Saints win spells doom for fan's flat-screen HD television - ESPN
NEW ORLEANS -- A Louisiana man who bet against the New Orleans Saints has lost his 60-inch high-definition, flat-screen TV to a backyard firing squad, but he also became an Internet star.
Wayne A. Spring told his friends that if New Orleans beat the Washington Redskins on Sunday, anyone who wanted could come to his house and shoot his television.
"I was a Saints fan, but used to be they never could win and I admit I was a fair-weather fan," Spring said on Thursday. "And there was all that 'Who-Datting' going on, online, so I just decided to go against the grain."
Things were looking good until the Saints tied the game and sent it into overtime.
Spring, a nurse who owns a medical staffing company, said as soon as the undefeated Saints kicked the winning field goal, his phone started ringing.
About a dozen Saints fans, toting firearms and a case of beer, showed up at his home in Albany, some 50 miles northwest of New Orleans, and shot up his TV in the back yard.
Spring put the video on YouTube and says it has had over 145,000 hits in three days.
OMFG! This redneck insanity is actually being reported by the Associated Press and ESPN! I've just lost all respect for both. Come on, man!
Jabari Greer has sports hernia surgery; expected back for playoffs
Greer could be back in time for the regular season finale at Carolina if the Saints want to get him some live work, but more likely he will remain sidelined until their playoff opener. With just one more victory, the Saints will be guaranteed a first-round bye in the playoffs.
Per Adam Schefter: Saints waive veteran CB Chris McAlister and signed CB Marcus McCauley.
"Well, that didn't last long. Saints waived veteran CB Chris McAlister, who they recently brought in, and signed CB Marcus McCauley."
It appears that Greer will return this week.

Unbelievable ESPN Power Rankings
The latest ESPN power rankings are out and the Saints remain number 1. What I find difficult to understand is how they keep the Vikings in the no. 3 spot as if their ugly loss in Arizona never happened. If the Saints had lost last Sunday, they would have dropped us four or five spots.

MUST-READ Article: Going long with Brees' deep threat

Here's a great ESPN Post on our no. 1 receiver. Enjoy!
"I'm never going to enjoy being in the limelight," 6-foot, 5-inch Colston said. "If it's for a good cause, like the community work we do, I don't mind because you never know what kind of positive effect you'll have on someone. But as far as stuff for my own personal recognition, I don't do that."
This past offseason, Colston turned down an opportunity to appear in the popular Campbell's soup commercials with NFL stars such as Donovan McNabb. "They asked Marques to be in them, but he felt offseason workouts were a better investment," said good friend and former Hofstra University teammate DeVale Ellis. "It shows that money doesn't matter. He just wants to be great."

So far, Saints’ approach has been unbeatable
The Boston Globe
An early look at the New Orleans Saints from an NFC scout:
"It’s a matchup-based system, and they’ve created a group of weapons with the triggerman to run it. They’ve got playmakers everywhere, but the area where they haven’t gotten enough credit is with the way the offensive line is playing. To throw as well as they do, and run when they can’t, it’s gotta start there, and they’ve done it even losing guys like Jammal Brown there.
"They like to get [Drew ] Brees out on the perimeter, and because he’s a shorter guy, he needs a window. So they move the quarterback, or move the defense, and do a real good job of it.
