Yep, Saints are 7-6, playing the Bears, also 7-6, tomorrow night, in Soldier Field.How does that bode for the boys in Black and Gold?
Dogshit.
Feel like playing football in this kind of weather? "I'm a man's man, that's the Lambeau/Soldier Field Way. That's real football." I hear people say this kind of thing all the time up here in Chicago, and it's just a way for fans of the NFC North and its abysmal teams to feel better about themselves.
Anyhow, remember this play? It was a TD pass to Reggie. He flipped in the endzone, after pointing at Brian Urlacher, like a dick, and brought decades of bad karma BACK onto the Saints. It was awesome, for a second.
However it actually went something like this:
I do have something positive to say for Saints fans - by now, Payton has realized that we can run the football, even against great defenses - here's how:See, there he is - Pierre Thomas. Illinois boy, no less... he had over a c-note on the ground against the Bears last year in solider field. He also has 7 touchdowns (six in the last four games, mind you) and he had 100 on the ground last week against Atlanta, who is strong against the run.
Here he is waving to has pal from the Falcons. Here's a transcript of the conversation that went down leading up to this moment:
Atlanta Defender: Hey Pierre, long time no see. What's shakin', bacon?
Pierre Thomas: It ain't nothin', man. Just clockin' my grip here. Too many Falcons are trying to get at my hard-earned stack.
AD: Dang, Brother, that is a dog gone shame - but it's never too late to change.
PT (Prime Time???): I know man, whenever my luck runs low, I just reach out and call His Name.
AD: That's right, my young, elusive Brother. Anyhow, I'll see you in the end zone shortly.
PT: And THAT's right, pahdna. Ya Moh Be There... ta ta for now!
AD: Bye! Nice catchin' up with you man. In the figurative sense, not in the football sense!
End Transcript.
One more thing: we may have luck against the run yet. Why? What has two thumbs and eats as much as a Hippopotamus? This guy, Hollis Thomas, number 99, aka Heavy Lunch, Tiny, Bulwark of the Crescent.Bye for now.
