Rock Bottom

Tom Benson lunges at the WWLTV camera after the game, following his team’s 4th straight loss in a row.

Fans and season ticket holders had to wait hours in line to see the game. Many speculate that Benson wanted to show a “lack of local support” in order to make his case for moving the team.

Well - here it is.

Don’t even know if I should post this. It’s such a load of #@&%. Tom Benson says, “TOM BENSON WANTS TO RETURN TO NEW ORLEANS.”

What Tom WANTS is to milk the state of Louisiana for as much money as he possibly can, and he reminds us of that here:

“It must be made very clear that the future of our team in New Orleans will be determined by factors that are yet unresolved, such as, economics and facilities, the very issues that we have struggled with prior to Hurricane Katrina.”

He took a stab at the mayor, said he donates millions to local charities (which I think we need to check the facts on - because nobody donates millions without handing over a big cardboard check in front of TV cameras), and then goes on to criticize the media because they, “have never run a company and have no clear understanding of how to run a successful business.”

Enough said. I think we can all read between the lines. Thanks Tom. Thanks for the help.

Saints 17, Rams 28

Why am I cursed to love a team that shoots themselves in the foot, time and time again. What was with that fake field goal? I mean, if your’e gonna have a skinny back up quarterback run the ball - don’t send him through the middle where all the blockers are!

I really didn’t see us winning the game after the Saints showed their typical really-bad-timing penalties and dropped balls. They were on the downhill slide FAST when the Rams’ Furry STRIPPED the ball from Ernie Conwell AFTER he was tackled - running in for a touchdown. The refs let him go. That put the last nail in the coffin. The Saints couldn’t challenge because they didn’t have any time outs left.

Saints special teams were horrible. Again.

The NFL needs to start fining REFS for making blatantly bad calls, that might put a stop to it.

When Aaron Brooks went out for the last possession, I just felt bad for him - if I was in his shoes, I don’t think I’d wanna get back on the field. Maybe next week.

Thanks for saying what we’ve all been thinking for a while now.

Saints 31, Falcons 34

I didn’t comment on last weeks game because there was just nothing to say. This week was pretty exciting, although the same mistakes they’ve made in the past crippled them. Turnovers being the most troublesome. 3 turnovers turned into 21 points for the Falcons that they didn’t even have to work for. Saints special teams played horrible. A field goal got blocked and turned over for a touchdown. A blocker ran into Hakim, and I don’t think that they returned the ball past the 20 yard line. Did they?

Brooks played awesome - he had an interception resulting from a poorly thrown ball, but it really wasn’t that far off. It only got intercepted because the receiver knocked it up in the air.

259 yds Passing / Stecker and Smith combined for almost 180 yds rushing. Awesome game. Bad call in the end by the officials kept the game from going into overtime. I think the official wanted to get home on time or something.

The Saints tied the club record for first downs with 32.

Good game. No turnovers. Few penalties. If they can keep that up, they will do great. Just play like pros.

Finally having a reason to smile.
