A few things need to be covered before I dive into the cur-fuckery that is this NFC South match-up. I think its no secret that I love the NFL, specifically the New Orleans Saints. One would think that this love would translate into wanting to see the team I love play as often as possible. I'm beginning to sour on these Thursday night games for several reasons. One, because theyre not available to everyone. You have to have the NFL network I think. That's kind of not cool and basically imposing a psuedo-crueler-than-usual-bye-week on their fans if they can't afford or otherwise object to cable. Two, a Sunday to Thursday is not enough time to rest between games. I just don't think it is. Now if two teams are coming off a bye week, sure have the game on a Thursday. But don't make a team that just played a shit-kicker of a game on Sunday go at it again on Thursday, its just not right in my mind.
Alright I'll step down from the soap box.
(Although it is a nice view for a short person like me up there....)
A few years back I wrote a list of ten reasons why I hate Atlanta. All of those reasons are still true. I'd like to add a few more.
1.) Its the genesis setting of "The Walking Dead" that my boyfriend loooooooooves to watch. I like the story line they have going, but the whole apocolypse thing freaks me out and frankly its just too gory and graphic. 2.) Anyone who's ever starred in the show, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta". I just don't get it.
3.) You think a new stadium is going to do something for you? Good luck with that.
4.) I don't have a fourth right now but god-dammit I HATE ATLANTA!
Actually know you what? I do. They're ok with calling themselves "Dirty birds". Thats disgusting. End of story.
And now on to my heavenly Saints......
Hot-Damn Jimmy Graham has done more in my fantasies I mean fantasy football games than predicted and I thank him for that. He's been an excellent go to for Drew Brees (praise Breesus). I have a friend named Rachael who is basically the Jimmy Graham to my Drew Brees (praise). She's the tall person of the relationship that kicks ass, takes names, and gets shit done that I can't (like reach for things on high shelves, push people I don't like, etc. and in Jim's case, make TD's) Sprolios is injured (graphic injury last week) which makes me sad, but I'd rather him take a TO and get well for the playoffs. And Im fairly certain we'll get there because we've got the NFC South on lock as sure as Atlanta has, "Shittiest Team in the Universe Award" 36 years and running. Stills, listen, whatever you're doing - keep doing it. I like it. I'm impressed by it. Even if the Falcon's D line was talkin a bunch of smack about your mother. I highly doubt she did that.
Drew (praise Breesus) - Dude is your neck okay????? I love how everyone was like, "oh well it was just high up on the chest it wasnt an illegal hit". I saw the pictures. It was illegal. That guy almost made space for another vertebrae in your neck. Using the, "it was just high up on the chest" defense would be like kicking a dude in the balls and being like, "No it was just really high up and in the center of the legs". No. Shit. Sherlock.
Coach Payton - you're the boss dog. I feel like if you got a tall staff and raised your arms thunder and lightening would occur in the stadium and the sea of fans would part. Keep using your wizard Gandalf to create magic over there.
Speaking of Gandalf.....all I want for christmas is a pan shot to Rob Ryan after a huge defensive stop screaming, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!!" Its all I want. Someone please make that happen.
That being said, I'd just like to take a small moment here and reflect on how much I love the Saints and how awesome they are to the city of New Orleans, and how much I miss New Orleans. Bless you boys and GEAUX SAINTS!!!!
