I wouldn't worry about hiding the kids in the city of New Orleans...

.....because I've seen some of them and they look like they can fight. 

All of the hullabaloo about people being surprised that NFL players have behavior management issues aside, the Vikings star player is out for this game while he gets his legal woes under control.  I'm sure these instances of domestic violence and child abuse call for a greater discussion about things we should have been doing all along, our shock and surprise at the vastness of the issue, and of course, Roger Goodell's perfected "do as I say not as I do" approach to solving NFL public relations shtstorms.  But its a time to discuss football.

(PS, Saints fans with a memory are simply doing the long blink at Goodell after all this "I didn't know" crap because of his exact line to Sean Payton, "If you didn't know, you should have known".  Bet you didn't see that one coming back to bite you in the ass...)


I feel like everyone feels uncomfortable making jokes about the Vikings right now because of what's going on.  I also think that people are hiding behind the previous statement because they can't remember anyone else on the Vikings team.  Sentence #2 is applicable to me.  I cannot recall without the help of google who is on that team.  I know it doesn't feel like any sort of rematch like it did in years past though.  I understand that we're 0-2 right now, and yes its upsetting but I feel like if the Saints win this game everyone's just going to be like well duh they didn't have AP playing or well its about time. 

One thing I can say about the Saints is that Gandalf better get his shit together and lead our defense.  I don't know if some (insert Lord of the Rings reference here) is preventing you from executing your wizardry powers, but get on the damn ball man.  It was nice enough that Payton bought a crap load of that guys jerseys to help his daughter.  Its those things that remind me why I'm a Saints fan.  There was no PR that needed to be done on the Saints behalf, there was no public to-do about it, it was just done.  I appreciate stuff like that.  But after that we didn't need to let them walk down the freaking field and win the game!   Breesus Christ!

I don't know why we ever let Sproles go.  He's been kicking ass and taking names on my fantasy team.  Still disappointed about that....Hopefully the usual suspects can get their act together for the home opener and the home crowd will give the team the boost they need.  If I get a chance later when the dictator is awake, I'll take a picture of him in his new Brees jersey - bless you boys, welcome back to the Dome, and GEAUX SAINTS!
