The lighter side

The Onion had this to say about the Saints' season:

Another Saints Season Ruined Before It Begins
NEW ORLEANS—Front-office executives of the New Orleans Saints football team provided a much-needed dose of normalcy Monday when they announced that, for the 23rd year running, the Saints season had been ruined before it began. "I'd say this is even worse than when Mike Ditka traded away all our draft picks to get Ricky Williams," said Saints vice president of pro-personnel operations Bill Kuharich. "But there's one thing we Saints can always rely on: our chances for a winning season being shitcanned before we play a single down. We're proud to have carried on with this tradition despite everything." The National Football League has declined the Saints' "mercy rule" request to be allowed to forfeit all their home games, saying the team must set an example for its home city by being blown out in every contest.

Sadly, that probably isn't too far from the truth...I'll be rooting for the Saints a little more this year though.

The latest from T.O. (as if anyone cared): He plans to speak to Donovan McNabb before and during Monday night's game. Wow! That's really big of him. Someone give him the Nobel Peace Prize!
