That game against the Texans was rough. But I'd rather us lose a pre-season game and not get injured (See: Washington Redskins Jarvis Jenkins [ACL tear]and everyone's first pick in fantasy football drafts this year Arian Foster[hamstring]).
Drew needs to make sure that he's getting in tune with his recievers. I mean, in the game against the Texans, it was like he didnt even know those guys. Back in the 2009-2010 season, he could have given you all probably seventeen of his receivers' names, birth dates, mom's names, favorite foods, and whether or not they found the "ambi-turner" joke in Zoolander funny. The game against the Texans had me wondering if he even knew their social security numbers by heart. And I hold him up to this standard because he holds himself to that same standard, probably higher. All that aside, we're coming off a training camp in Oxnard so we don't have to adjust to the time zone and weather, so I think we should be good to go. I think that Drew should have gotten some time to run over some game plans and really get to know his peoples. Now the defense....Gregg, I understand you dont want anyone hurt during the pre-season, neither do I. But for the love of Christ dude, the Texan defense was running through us like the Skins go through coaches.
So against Oakland - dont get anybody hurt but jeez....let Ellis eat one of them at least. I know he's hungry, look at the size of that man. He must be. And someone let Porter get an interception please? As a resident of Washington, D.C. I know a bit about this Campbell fellow who's QB'ing for the Raiders, and if he's anything like he was when he was a Skin, he'll throw an interception or three. The only question I have about the Raiders is, is Al Davis alive or is this some sort of sick Weekend At Bernie's thing thats gone on way too long?
My money is on Weekend At Bernie's.
On the advent of the day that Katrina ravaged our city, Saints, please send a W our way. If you can't, or to do so would be to risk injury, then don't worry about it - we'll get one against Green Bay in a week and a half. And every day that someone says the name, "New Orleans" with a smile on their face is a W for New Orleans. You boys did a lot of work in keeping that happening. Thank you for that, and bless you boys.

Game day post - Against people who call themselves Texans, but not people who are necessarily from Texas...
Well after watching the Saints play last week I feel more informed about what kind of team at least our starters and second stringers will be. Mr. Daniel did pretty excellent as back up quarterback. He's clearly learning something from Drew "TrustmeImasurgeon" Brees. Morgan, who's an UNDRAFTED rookie seems like he's the quintessential Saint that Coach always finds, needs, and uses during the regular season that wins us games. Gregg Williams has clearly been doing work with our defense and improving their looks as well. Or the 49'ers just suck that badly, which unfortunately for us and the 49'ers is not that difficult to believe as a possibility (See: 49'ers last season). Because the preseason is all about exhibition in an above-board definition of the word, I'm not going to wish too many specific Saints to do too many things as I want us to kick the crap out of Green Bay in our first regular season game. And an aside about that, why are the Saints playing the first game of the season against Green Bay? When the Saints won the superbowl everyone made a big deal about the first game of the season being played against the superbowl champion and the team that they beat in the conference championship to go to the big game. Dont get me wrong, Im proud of the Saints and think its pretty baller that the NFL wants the New Orleans Saints up front and center, but shouldn't the opponent of last years Superbowl champs be some team that they beat in the playoffs that was a good game or something? Whatever, Im just confused about that.
Either way, so the opponents today are the Houston Texans, a team I know so little about I had to google search them. Before this search, the only opinion I had about the Texans were that I thought their team name was pretty presumtuous about the state of Texas, like did they think they were the only actual "Texans" or what? And that doesnt even make sense because most of them were drafted from out of state anyway (this is the mind of someone with too much time on a Saturday morning and ADHD). I take that back. The only thing I knew about them was that their QB was Matt (or maybe Mike) Schaub that Tom drafted last year for his fantasy team who turned out to be a red-headed stepchild of a disappointment for Tom's team and fantasy scores as a whole. But boy am I glad I looked them up... because the team has some gems that need to be reviewed. And I mean that semi-literally. FIRST OF ALL, their website is incredibly slow and annoyed the hell out of me. It took me several minutes to review what is called their "roof report" against their game with the Saints, which I should have known, was going to be a literal report about the status and conditions of their freaking roof at the Texan's stadium. I was thinking it was just a term their franchise used to talk about their strengths and such against the opposing team. Wrong.
SECOND OF ALL, and I have to have this be the piece de resistance of this post, they have a dude on their team called "Lestar". You read that completely right. Even though the website is slow, I have to link this article. It is the most hilarious thing I have ever read and before someone gets offended, let me explain myself and you read the article.
http://www.houstontexans.com/news/article-3/A-Lestar-Jean-is-born/bb437a53-8ce5-4628-9ff6-2543889a8bdf
Read it? Okay so if you have to re-do your child's birth certificate not once, but twice because people just couldnt possibly believe that you named your child "Lestar" and intended for it to be pronounced, "le - STAR", then that should have been two hints that maybe you should have named him after your grandfather. And you're just leaving that child wide open for comments like, "Le-lick my balls capitan" (Zoolander pull) and leaving him open to titles on the Texans website like "A Lestar is born". Really? After reading the title it took me about 5 minutes to compose myself and an additional 5 minutes to read laughingly through the rest of the article.
So its game time come 8pm EST, and I say good luck to the Saints, lets see what you can do but don't hurt yourselves. Geaux Saints, and bless you boys:)

Pre-Game Day Post
I've been waiting so long for this. And not easily either, considering that snafu of a lockout we had. But that is all said and done so no sense harping on it. The main point is that the Saints are back!!!!!!!!
I think its appropriate to address that we've had some losses, most importantly to me Jeremy Shockey (god he looks so unstable its almost charming in a maladaptive way), and Reggie Bush (had a great time making jokes at your last name's expense when you got traded to Miami). Im still kind of upset about Fujita going to the Browns last year, but thats mostly because I find his last name to be fantastic.
We still have Saint Brees, which is awesome because he's the best. Its that simple. And we still have Harper and Sharper and Porter (oh my), the three of whom just embarrass the opposition. We have Saint PT back, thank GOD, do me a favor and don't get hurt this year, Brees has like 17 different Saints to score points with and you're one of my faves. Saint Ellis, known for his ability to make opposite QB's lose ten IQ points a game due to sacks just as much as for his (Im assuming) ability to take out an entire sleeve of chipsahoy cookies in one bite, will be heading up our D line.
We've had some amazing gains - Sean Payton rivaled Steven Hawking's genius this year in the draft, and although Im sure it wasnt just Coach, thats who Im giving all the credit to. Ingraham - you've been drafted to be Reggie Bush, but better. Without the hype, publicity, and ridiculous (now) ex-girlfriend that the cameras would annoyingly pan to during time outs in the game. I formally request that you keep a safe distance from the celebutard girls as they will only cause your career to suck and not be as awesome as you were in college, letting us all down and making puppies cry. Trust me, I've seen it happen. Then theres Saint Cam Jordan and Saint Greg Romeus who've been added to our Defensive line. Greg Williams does NOT fuck around guys, get ready. If you dont run through the 49'ers like an NBA player at SCORES you've screwed up.
As far as game day posts go, I've got to see their work in order to fully talk shit or give praise, so this is more of an introduction of who I think the star newbies are, as well as saying peace out to some crucial Saints (Shockey is so weirdly goodlooking it creeps me out, and Reg was essential in our Superbowl win as much as everyone (me) criticizes his personal life), as well as saying welcome back to our amazingly wonderful Saints, who are the heart and soul of a city that is my heart and soul, my beautiful New Orleans! I AM SO READY FOR THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (even though its preseason)And Bless you boys!
