It’s been yet another banner week for Skepticism and his asshole brother Cynicism down at the ole Bender household. I’m doing what I can to fight them off, and the Saints have been doing what they can to help. So I guess I ought to be thankful for that. Or something. Unfortunately, so far the results have been mixed.
They got off to a fine start by finally putting a merciful end to the Marteen Experience and bringing back Sideshow Mehl. I suppose I have to give them credit for correcting the... Read Full Story
Can’t get the stink off
He’s been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you but not your friends
One day he’ll get to you
And teach you how to be a holy cow
So have you had enough yet? Or is it gonna have to happen again? Because, let there be no doubt, it will happen again. And again and again.
The worst part is that it’s just such a waste. That seems to be the overriding theme of this season, and perhaps this latest era of Saints football.
I have no idea whether or not... Read Full Story
It seems a marauding band of Spam-loving Scandinavian savages has set sail from the Green Midget Café in Bromley and is due to arrive Monday evening with the intent to loot, pillage and plunder along the banks of the Mississippi. They are in for quite the rude awakening.
Conquering large parts of Europe, England and eastern Canada is all well and good, but we don’t play that shit down here in these parts. And there’s no Spam on the menu. Deal with it, jerks.
The Vikings… what a bunch of... Read Full Story
Well that was one hell of a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that sure didn’t smell like "just a win." That smelled more like a "springboard win."
The only thing I can come up with to bitch about this week is Drew Brees, who by his standards straight up sucked. Come on Drew, only 363 passing yards? Sheesh. 65.7% completion rate? Terrible. Minus-1 rushing? Come on, get your head out of your ass.
At the end of the first quarter, the guys on Fox were going on and... Read Full Story
I think this is gonna be the week, bitches. The timing seems to be just right for Dulymus’ triumphant return to the ranks of Dudes Sean Payton Allows To Tote The Rock.
The Believer will tell you that it probably makes more football sense than it would have in any of the first three games. San Francisco has the weakest run defense and the strongest pass defense the Saints will have faced so far.
The Cynic will tell you that, between the injuries and the public perception reaching critical mass... Read Full Story
Assuming that the Saints are able to field a team Sunday, they’ll be back home in the Dome to take on the 49ers. In the meantime, the Saints’ very own DHARMA pit continues to fill with the bodies of the purged. Where’s Taller Ghost Walt when you need him?
Memo to Coach: Stop fucking with Ben.
The good news is that Terrance Copper may be available to re-assume his role as the Saints’ emergency quarterback, which will enable Sean Payton to insert Joey Harrington into his intended role… short... Read Full Story
Say, how’s that whole "Keep the grizzled veteran who sucked for 4 years, but has been PERFECT AS A SAINT over a sample size of 5 whole kicks" strategy workin’ out for ya? Pretty good?
Told You So Guy is a douchebag. Not as big a douchebag as Marteen, but a douchebag nonetheless. So I’ll refrain from being that guy. Instead, I’ll just say this: IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.
But on the plus side, how about that performance by Joey Harrington? Good thing we picked that guy up, and right in the nick of... Read Full Story
