You know that, "eeew gross, goddammit!" Feeling you get when you step on a figurative "landmine". Sometimes that's what I think Eli feels other peoples' reaction to finding out he's the Manning they're slated to meet instead of Archie or Peyton. I'm sure even some of his fans have felt that way considering his inconsistent appearances at games. As a son of New Orleans there isn't much personal I can say about the man. But I can suggest that Jenkins, Casillas, Ellis, Sharper and Harper remind him about how we do things in the Big Easy, meaning getting knocked on your ass. Granted in Nola its usually because we're wasted and not getting tackled by a D line, but hey- anything could happen in that city, that's for damn sure.
Drew, don't throw to the boys in blue (or white and blue I'm not sure of the color scheme today). Colston has been waiting for another multiple TD game, so why don't you give him an early christmas present? Ingrahm, maybe a rush TD or two? I want you and Sproles running faster than the Kenyans at the Olympics. Jimbo Graham.....you earned your spot from Shockey, who was a former Giant. I want you to have the same, "I'm either going to kill you or take away your ability to walk" look and passion in your game today that he brought to the 2009 game against the Giants. I personally thought all New Orleanians were going to have to band forces and funding and bail him out of jail that night.
You Saints are so incredible. The NFL loves to showcase you as one of their most interesting teams to watch. That's why we've started the season 3 out of the last 5 years. Thats why we get a lot of MNF games. And that's why I can be sitting in my car, an hour early for my new job, typing up this post and just smile thinking about the New Orleans Saints. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I will say that I am thankful for all that you have done for the city, all the charity work and the goodwill that you bring to the city, and from it to other places. Yes, Harper almost killed that guy one time and Hartley needs to lay off the booze a bit during the off season. But everytime people think of the Saints there's rarely if ever anything bad to say about them or their character. That's because of you guys and how you brought a city that was on its last breath back to life. And for that, I am forever indebted and thankful. Geaux Saints and bless you boys!!!!!!!!

Bye weeks are so conflicting
On one hand, the Saints aren't playing so it feels like a wasted weekend. On the other hand, I dont have to worry about having a heart attack and can relax a bit watching games that I have minimal investment in. So its a wash. I guess this weekend we can take a look at potential play off opponents, since I read that the NFC South was, "the Saints' to lose". So that's pretty cool.
Teams of interest this weekend:
The Buffalo Bills - Fitzpatrick is my back up QB so thats really why I care about this team. Also, they were doing pretty well in the beginning of the season and now I feel like they've floundered a little bit. This is the same guy that wears his wedding ring while playing football. I know that as a female I'm supposed to find this endearing, but I find it stupid and if I were his spouse I'd yell at him because he's essentially putting their financial stability in jeopardy if he breaks his finger which wearing a ring while playing a contact sport is more likely to do. And thats more jeopardy than if he just took his ring off for two hours while he was running around with a bunch of dudes, risking that some chick would see him on TV and be looking for a ring on his finger being like, "I mean, I didn't see a ring so I'm totally going to try and hit that". Ridiculous.
Redskins/Cowboys - This is a divisional game so its interesting. Plus I'm in/from DC so its double interesting because I dont even have to watch the game but just monitor my Facebook feed and get more updates on the game than if I were actually watching the game. The Redskins have this amazing power over their fans to bring them to such heights only to let them down so amazingly. I blame a lot of it on Dan Snyder, the owner. But a lot of it has to do with the team itself. The skins are plagued with injuries to its key players because their key players were their only players and so they got hurt. Its terrible. The Cowboys are the team that people love to hate. I don't really care for them one way or the other, but I super hate Jerry Jones. What he did to those Green Bay fans during the superbowl is unforgiveable (For reference, they sold more seats than they had, got some pull out chairs, but then Dallas had that major snow, and I guess Jer thought the snow would melt, it didnt, and so he was like ooh my badskies you guys did travel hundreds of miles but you cant come in.)
Kansas City/Patriots - Im interested in this game because while one would think its going to be a blowout for the Pats, the Chiefs aren't necessarily a bad team. They havent been great the past few games though thats true. I hope Brady has Gronkowski to get some TD's because I'm going up against #2 in my fantasy team and we have the same record so I need to beat her in order to maintain my top spot. I'm doubtful it'll happen though, I was very unprepared for this weekend's matchup. Hopefully Eli will have a terrible game.
Giants/Philly - I hate Michael Vick, I really do, so I hope he loses all the time. But I also really need the Giants to do poorly. So I'm conflicted over this game. If there was some way for both of these teams to do badly, I would be quite elated. So that's all I have to say about that.
Alright well it's game time! Rest up my dear Saints, have a good weekend and a happy Thanksgiving! Bless you boys and Geaux Saints!

Didn't we used to hate Atlanta the most?
I'm still baffled by this apparent rivalry between Tampa Bay and New Orleans. I am happy that Harper didn't kill a man last week though. I thought we always hated Atlanta the most and the other two teams were just kind of there. This week we have another divisional game which will prove to be an interesting one. I hate Atlanta. I hate them so much. And to testify to some of these reasons, I'm making a list.
TOP 10 REASONS WHY I HATE ATLANTA:
1.) Naming your QB after a shitty beer is ridiculous. Matty Ice? Really? Does it cost 8.99 for 6 identical copies of him that make you want to throw up the next day? I submit that only one copy of him should make you nauseous enough to ralph.
2.) Their coach does in fact look like a falcon. Take a look, I've included a link for those who cannot immediately recall this man's bird-like face: http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/VoUuHHubVPq/Atlanta+Falcons+v+New+England+Patriots/yOVF9O5vqcN/Mike+Smith
3.) They call their city, "HotLanta"
4.) They are previous employers of Michael Vick (they get points on this one however, because they booted his ass).
5.) Their airport. (Everyone who's been to this airport just nodded their heads and said, "Yup, I know thats right".
6.) At this current time, they're closer to New Orleans than I am. I think thats a viable reason to hate them.
7.) I don't know exactly why, but I think the Falcons' uniforms look ridiculous.
8.) They have someone on their team named "Roddy"
9.) I take issue with their southern style food, as I find it sub-par at best. Granted, coming from a city such as New Orleans that will probably be the case more often than not culinary-wise.
10.) According to the first result from google when you type in "I hate Atlanta, GA", they actually refer to themselves as, "the ATL". (shake my head)
And those are the reasons why I can't stand Atlanta. Some has to do with football, some started with football and became personal, and others realistically had nothing to do with football and just counts as me being petty.
Now Saints, I expect a good showing out of you today. Harper, again I ask of you not to incur unnecessary penalties (wink - "necessary" will be left to your discretion). Will someone please take out "Matty Ice" and scream, "WE DRINK ABITA DAMMIT!" when you sack him? Because that would be really funny. Graham, you met my friend TJ the other week after your game, you have a hilarious taste in shirts, and your skills with the football are incredible, lets keep that going. Drew....do NOT throw it to the other team. If you can't find an option, either throw it away or take the sack. Losing 10 yards is always better than just giving the team the ball, unless its 4th down and it'd be bad field positioning, then I understand. Either way, its going to be a good game and I hope you boys do an excellent job embarrassing the Falcons...because I hate them so....so very much. Geaux Saints and bless you boys!!

Buc Off....
So we're fresh off a loss to SAINT LOUIS....that is as weird to write as it is to say or think. Anyway, the Saints need a W here not only for morale but for divisional purposes as well. Drew, its gotten to the point where we can pretty much bet that somehow, you're going to give the ball to the other team. It sucks, but throwing as much as you do I guess thats bound to happen. Can we maybe throw them a ball that's been sat on or otherwise made contact with the nether-regions of some nasty people so that they get a little tummy flu and cant play? I mean thats the best scenario I can come up with. Make sure you bring purell if you're going to do that though. And also, I started Colston for my fantasy team so I'm going to need you to utilize him ALOT. Moore, you're good for yards and points, lets see some more of that this game, yes?
I need to talk to the defense for a minute here, specifically Roman Harper. Listen dude, you're an awesome player, but your personal fouls are costing us at LEAST 30 yards per game. Yes, that guy in the last match up deserved that late hit for his little show off TD, but you hit him so hard he bounced off the ground. He bounced, Roman. No one should bounce off of the ground, thats just not right. Next time make it a legal hit like Will Smith did to Kurt Warner in that playoff game. Kurt got stupid after that game, you remember that? All he could do was say his name and join dancing with the stars. And as for the rest of you, you could take a page out of Harper's book and start getting some good (CLEAN) hits on folks.
Josh Freeman needs to get sacked more times than the first guy to pass out with his shoes on at a frat party. Jenkins, I expect a pick 6 from you. Sproles, I expect a return for a TD from you. They shouldnt even see you coming you're so short. Okay? My 8 year old cat Beaux is taller than you when he stands up on his two back legs. Granted he's a big cat but still, you get my point. Anyway....I see you are wearing the throwback Jerseys today. I don't know how I feel about this. I think that throwback Jerseys should be used when remembering the good old days, which for us, was 2009-2010. We don't have such an awesome beginning. But we have an awesome now, and thats what counts. Geaux Saints, and bless you boys.
Go get 'em.
