WHO DAT

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

You definitely won the game, that's for sure.

That punk block TD was a special, special moment.

ive been saying all week that this game is going to determine our entire season. Our return home to the Superdome, the fact that weve gone 2-0 for the first time in franchise history (which sounds about right for the Saints even though our franchise is 40 years old) and the fact that we were going against the Atlanta Vicks who were expected to dominate our division. Now if we beat Carolina next week we will have a firm grasp on first place in our division. The next real test is Philly. They go down, were Superbowl bound.

You'll definitely have a good chance to be playoff bound, at least.

What's important is that home field advantage. Saints have historically not been a good home team for some reason.

But you guys have got a long way to go. As Joe Horn said last night, it's easy to go from 3-0 to 3-13.

you know, until last year I HATED Joe Horn. He was nothing more than an older version of TO. But when Katrina hit his entire attitude changed. He has spent most of his free time and his entire off season helping the victims in the entire Gulf area. He looked like he wsa going to cry last night when he was talkin about how important the game last night was to the fans.

Hes a class act.

Yes, congrats on going 2-0 for the first time in 40 years. Quite an accomplishment. If only the football team from my general area was doing decently. What? I'm from Chicago? A city with the number 1 ranked team in the NFL? And I still wouldn't watch this boring-ass sport if you paid me? Woo!

Call me when football actually means football.

You can talk crap all you want, but at least give them their proper props: They're THREE and 0.

Dammit, Best First, our women have got to learn about more than just balls!

Balls are good, but what tight ends? What about splitting the uprights? What about running an end around? What about going deep for the score?

It's good and cool that the Saints are back in the Superdome.

However, I still have my doubts about the region recovering from Katrina to the point it was at; when I was doing volunteer work down there in the beginning of June, the place still looked like the day after the water receded. People weren't coming back because nothing was coming back; their homes were still wrecked, and even if they were fixed, they had nowhere to work. If they had somewhere to work, they had nowhere to live.

Sad, really.

My personal fave, the Hail Mary.

You just throw your ball out there and hope that it falls into the right hands.

On a more serious note, its a proven fact that everything is bigger in Texas, except for male genitalia. So 'real women' is a stretch.....literally.

The Rolling Stones are British, but some of their most famous songs mention New Orleans.

Just felt like throwing that out.
