The New Orleans Saints lost to the Atlanta Falcons at home on Sunday in an overtime thriller. Atlanta has a pretty nice team and these things do happen, but a win was there for the taking. This loss would have been easier to swallow if kicker Garrett Hartley hadn’t missed a 29-yard field goal that [...]
Gold Rushers vs Old Indians (-3) What are you buying? The Kansas City Chiefs as a 2-0 team or the San Francisco 49ers as an 0-2 team? I said in the preseason that I thought the Chiefs had a shot to win the AFC West. Over the last eight years, seven teams have gone from [...]
New Orleans Saints RB Reggie Bush got rolled over on a punt return in Monday Night’s win over the San Francisco 49ers and had to be carted to the locker room. It didn’t look good when it happened and it’s actually not. Initial reports are that it’s a busted fibula for Bush. He’s likely out [...]
Sources tell Jason Cole and Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports that the Heisman Trophy Trust will conclude that Reggie Bush was a fraud in 2005 at USC and will strip him of his Heisman Trophy award. There has been speculation that the award would go to second-place vote getter Vince Young, but it looks like [...]
The New Orleans Saints didn’t wait long to replace fallen RB Lynell Hamilton, who was lost for the season last week. The Saints just signed former Washington Redskin Ladell Betts to a one-year $755,000 contract plus a $50,000 signing bonus. Many people might jump to the conclusion (like Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com did) that Betts [...]
The New Orleans Saints got some bad news after Lynell Hamilton went down in Monday morning’s practice. According to Jason La Canfora on Twitter, it’s a torn ACL and he’ll miss the entire 2010 season. “Saints just got MRI results on RB Lynell Hamilton, which confirmed a season-ending ACL injury. They have been looking at [...]
The recent smackdown on USC was clearly something that the school wasn’t thrilled about. And with Pat Haden taking over the A.D. job from Mike Garrett, it seems that one of the first order’s of business was to distance the school from former RB Reggie Bush. In an announcement about Haden’s hiring, the school said [...]
In an interview with the Biloxi Sun Herald, Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre indicated that he will play again in 2010. Not that this is really a surprise. Does anyone think he’s really going to retire right now? “I would love to go beat the Saints,” he said. “I know I can still play at [...]
While we figured this would eventually happen, we weren’t exactly sure based on the reports that New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas apparently was looking to get Steven Jackson-type money. But for whatever reason, Thomas did the smart thing today and signed his restricted free agent tender of $1.684 million. According to PFT, that’s more [...]
Sources tell ESPN’s Len Pasquarelli that negotiations between the New Orleans Saints and RB Pierre Thomas have kind of broken down. It’s believed that Thomas wants money in the Steven Jackson range and we had to pause for a second before we typed that. We almost had our Five Alive shoot through our nose. Steven [...]
According to a local ABC news affiliate in New Orleans, Saints TE Jeremy Shockey was taken to the hospital today after having “seizure-like symptoms” in the weight room. “Shockey to hospital go to abc 26 dot com for details,” ABC’s Ed Daniels tweets. We really don’t have any more information at this time. Although, it [...]
SI’s Peter King says that he’s hearing that the New Orleans Saints will lock up their best running back before training camp starts. Sit down, Reggie Bush; no one is talking to you. You are overpaid as it is. No, Peter is talking about Pierre Thomas, who has become the feature back for the Saints. [...]
After all this waiting and visits with teams, nothing has changed. A league source tells PFT that S Darren Sharper has agreed to stay with the New Orleans Saints on a one-year deal. Sharper had been visiting with the Jacksonville Jaguars and we thought for a while that that is where he would eventually end [...]
Thanks to our buddy Kordell for tipping us off on this one. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Philadelphia Eagles will sign restricted free agent RB Mike Bell to a one-year deal worth $1.7 million. “Filed to ESPN: Saints restricted free-agent RB will sign a one-year, $1.7 million offer sheet with Eagles, according to [...]
Many league observers believed that there was no way that the New Orleans Saints would bring back RB Reggie Bush at his scheduled 2010 salary of $8 million. Well, according to GM Mickey Loomis, he will.
There has been talk (maybe too much talk) this offseason that the New Orleans Saints could potentially let go of RB Reggie Bush. While he’s a good player who can flash dynamite, he isn’t the unmitigated stud that many had predicted when he came into the NFL with the second pick in the draft in [...]
This is great and shouldn’t be much of a surprise to anyone. But if you’ve ever been in this situation when something like this happens, it’s so great that it makes you want to drink more. Here are the New Orleans Saints fans erupting as Tracy Porter tells Peyton Manning what he thinks of his [...]
You may have heard by now that the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 in Sunday’s Super Bowl. But what you may not have heard is that Peyton Manning is a poor sport and no one will really mention it because he’s Peyton Manning, Lord and Savior of all things living, deceased and/or [...]
CBS is reporting that Indianapolis Colts DE Dwight Freeney was spotted today walking without a limp. What does this mean for the Super Bowl today? That he can walk without a limp. Not much else. Numerous reports say that Freeney is going to play against the New Orleans Saints today barring any setbacks this afternoon [...]
While the New Orleans Saints have some incredibly passionate and football-smart fans, the art of grammar and spelling may be lost on them. Thanks to KissingSuzyKolber.com for posting this. If for some reason you don’t see what’s wrong with this jersey, then you might need a few more years of low-level schooling as well.
We aren’t fans of Super Bowl halftime shows, let’s just say that outright. It’s yet another distraction from the game. It extends halftime to about 3 1/2 hours, when players have been used to 12 minutes all year. Stupid. But anyway, it seems that other people like it, and this year it’s The Who. We [...]
After watching the New Orleans Saints play the Minnesota Vikings Sunday night, I came away thinking about how a great football game was ruined by a horrible overtime. The Saints won the coin flip and got the ball first (and last). Three plays were reviewed which killed the flow of the game. I agree the [...]
New Orleans Saints TE Jeremy Shockey is listed as questionable this week with a bum knee. It’s widely thought that he hurt the knee last weekend against the Cardinals, but we think he could have injured it while ironing, going through step class, vacuuming his living room or perhaps he fell down while making toast. [...]
You thought you loved the “playoffs” speech? You thought you loved the “we couldn’t do diddly poo” speech? Oh boy this is great. This is not safe for work and probably not appropriate for children under four. This is from back when Jim Mora was coaching the New Orleans Saints. In honor of their historic [...]
According to Peter King’s Twitter account, New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees will be the third quarterback on Sunday. This means, there will be two guys ahead of him. “Now this is interesting. VERY interesting. Sean Payton told me today Drew Brees will be 3d QB Sunday–behind Brunell and Chase Daniel,” King tweeted. We are [...]
