New Orleans Saints: It’s a Team Thing
Published: August 30, 2009
No Comments
What can the average fan expect with this year’s Saints team?
INTENSITY and TEAMWORK have been the words most associated with this year’s Saints.
This could be the year! Will Reggie Bush’s prediction on “Live with Regis and Kelly” actually be more than just a wish for the local fans?
As the preseason comes to a close, it sure seems that way. With 3 wins in 3 games the fans are on their feet and ready for what they have been waiting for a long long time to see.
The Saints are coming…are you ready?
The Island Of Misfit Toys: Michael Vick and a Saintly Connection
Published: July 27, 2009

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell gave Vick a conditional reinstatement to the league Monday, which means Vick can play in the final two preseason games this year and then will be suspended for six weeks. After that, his full reinstatement will be likely and he should be eligible to play in Week 7.
Yes, you read correctly, Vick will be eligible to play in game seven. Some sources say that this is the latest; he could be back sooner, but week seven for sure.
Oh, the circus this will bring for the media moguls. But I am ready for a front row seat.
Let the jockeying begin. Let’s face it: Owners, general managers and coaches alike are licking their chops. They will be able to get him for a steal if they are willing to take a chance.
I sure hope that our very own Island of Misfit Toys is where he will find a home.
The New Orleans Saints have welcomed those deemed “damaged” or “second chancers” on more than one occasion. Once again, we will welcome him in with open arms.
Our very own head coach Sean Payton was a replacement player who got his second chance against the Saints in the 1987 scrub season. In 2005, he took a chance on the city, the biggest of second chances, and decided to rebuild with us.
Next is Drew Brees, released from the Chargers due to a shoulder injury. I’ll bet their front office wished they hadn’t done that! But their loss, our gain and we love our bummed shoulder teddy bear.
Jeremy Shockey, who visited our repair shop a few too many times than expected last year, will be good as new. It seems his stuffing was twisted due to irregular thread used while repairing his leg from a previous injury.
I would like to take this time to thank the repair shop for all of their hard work. Although Jeremy was not ready for Santa’s list, he did make an impact. It appears that 30 of his 50 receptions went for first downs. When Santa needed him, he led the way.
I can understand why some of the other toys may be nervous; they usually are when someone new arrives. Luckily for us, such veteran players as Fred MacAfee and Michael “beer man” Lewis hold staff positions geared to guide the toys on their journey.
Santa, I know it is six months until Christmas, but one of your toys needs a good home to help in his rehabilitation. I am sure that Mr. Benson and his granddaughter would be happy to open the Island another time for you.
Although Mike Vick is very familiar with how to make it to the Superdome (He has visited during Christmas when he was in college) could you please send a map?
Reggie Bush can’t remember where the North and South poles are located and his GPS is acting up, showing only east and west.
I am sure the folks down in New Orleans would love to have him. They have even offered to have a Redemption party for him on Monday, November 2, 2009. They already had this date saved for their Alumni game, so the Superdome will be rocking for him against his old team, the Atlanta Falcons.
NFL Cheerleaders: Behind the Scenes, Part Two

So you say you want a closer look at the NFL Cheerleaders, I think I can take you there.
Well atleast behind the scenes of the New Orleans Saintsations. Being an active member of the Saintsations Alumni group, I should be able to get a little lagniappe (a little something extra).
Last year we finally had another reunion. We were being honored during the Saints versus Raiders game. Any of my sideline sisters who wanted to take part were invited to be on the field again. How could I say no? You bet I’m in!
Wait, what do we have to wear?
Ok great, the Alumni uniform is black pants and a white shirt that will be provided gameday. I can handle that.
Rumblings this offseason, the Alumni will not just be presented this year, they will PERFORM!
Now in true cheerleader form…. OMG, no more ice cream for me!
Once again, how can I pass this up?
Time to start two-a-days while the boys are in camp.

Steve McNair, former Ravens and Titans quarterback, has been found dead.
An investigation is well underway and details are limited at this time.
He was found in downtown Nashville along with a yet-to-be-identified 20-year old female. Both appear to have gunshot wounds.
At this time it is being investigated as a double homicide. McNair was 36 years old.
McNair leaves behind a wife and four sons.
More details coming as soon as they are available.
A former fraternity brother and NFL player has been quoted as saying, “his wife did not shoot him and please stop such rumors.”
Please keep Mr.McNair’s family in your thoughts through this most difficult time.
Saints Begin Practice: It’s Getting Hot in New Orleans
Published: June 5, 2009

It has been very rainy and humid the past few days in New Orleans, but not today.
A gift from above and on the very afternoon the Saints have opened practice to the public.
Is this a taste of what’s to come?
The excitement is being felt all around the city and surrounding areas. Fans are once again standing behind their team.
For the fourth year in a row, every year since Katrina, and during a slump in the economy, season-ticket holders have sold out the Superdome.
If you are on the waiting list for the first time, good luck. I wouldn’t get your hopes up for season tickets—there is a 50,000-person waiting list.
You can buy single-game tickets later in the summer, but for now if you want to see the boys in black and gold, you should be on your way to Airline Drive for practice either today at 3:00 pm or tomorrow at 10:00 am.
I, for one, can’t get enough and look forward to the intensity during team drills.
See you there Who Dat Nation!
