They call it.......North Cackilack.....

It's the dictator's nap time so I've got a few free minutes...His other 'life-giver' aka dad, aka Steve, aka Pip, aka, Seriously?  and I took him out in the snow which aside from the adorableness of the cute bear suit he was in, was apparently an unpleasurable activity as the snow hit his face and he determined that he did not care for such behavior out of the weather and demanded through a series of high pitched frequencies that we take him inside poste haste.  All of that from this little guy...

So we've got a big game ahead of us tonight, and fortunately the weather conditions are on our side.  (I know its in a dome.)  And unlike Seattle needing to summon Storm and Banshee from the X-men to beat the Saints, we're going to take on Carolina with good ol' fashioned football.  Cam clearly was not thinking when he pulled that trick-a-roo with the refs and that BS penalty call.  If he was, he would have remembered that the Saints are known for hitting like they mean it and refrained from irritating the zebras that are out there to protect him.  Because they do.  There's not going to be any slight nudge here, or a accidental brush there.  No, Malcom Jenkins is going to knock the wind out of him so freaking hard the first five rows are going to think they just felt a brees (pun INTENTED) in the 'dome.  Oh and guess who didn't see shit?  The refs.  That's who.  Even if they did, we've had a few of our defensive players proudly take the 15 for unnecessary roughness (Sharper - looking in your direction....remember when you made that dude bounce?  I do, but I bet he doesn't...)

After the kick in the crotch loss to Seattle, the Saints are going to be out for a little blood.  It might have been a short week but it was plenty of enough time for Payton and Brees (praise Breesus) to formulate a myriad of plays to run against the Carolina defense.  Gandalf was no doubt consulting his circle of wizards to come up with some interesting things to do with the Saints' defense.  I wouldn't be surprised if a few of the Panthers walk away needing to take a few days just to regroup.

This is a really important game because the Panthers and the Saints have the same record and we need to clinch the 2nd seed and our division.  In reviewing Carolina's schedule, its kind of a crap shoot because they lost to the Bills (hahahah), the Seahawks (dick), and the Cardinals (....what?).  And the rest of the wins haven't really been against any notable teams.  Aside from the Pats, it looks like they've had a pretty easy seas-y. 

Until now. 

Shit, the dictator is stirring...I have to work fast. 

Anyway, the Saints have beaten some pretty impressive teams this season.  We've had a confusing loss to the Jets, but I mean come on, who's going to play tough against the Jets?  They're not going to the playoffs so why try?  That being said, our offense is looking pretty good.  Brees (praise) is back to having a wide variety of people who no one has ever heard of that are able to catch the darts that he throws into the end zone.  Hot-Damn Jimmy Graham is set and ready to go, so that'll be a lovely sight to see, bein' all tall and catching things that people of average or slightly above height are not meant to catch.  (Ok so the dictator is awake and I had to bring him downstairs because he wasn't buying that it was still naptime and started laughing at me which then made me laugh because lets be honest who doesn't laugh when a three month old starts laughing? He's staring at me so my time here is limited.)  

The game is going down in the Saints' house tonight, so lets make it a good show.  Word is that the Saints are going to try and beat the record for the loudest indoor noise ever created as a big, "F you, Seattle, show up in our house and we'll break your earballs".  So fans - bring your noise-cancelling headphones and scream your face off.   Let's get a W for our city, boys.  Bless you boys, and as always, GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!
