Category Archives: Falcons Get Spanked
1 Down, 7 to Go
Beating the Falcons like they stole something in prime time…it doesn’t get any better than that for a Saints fan. Except you gotta admit that after a while in last night’s game, bullying stopped being fun. In fact, it started to feel like we were picking on the retarded kid in class. Oh wait, “retarded” isn’t politically correct. Let’s say it started to feel like we were picking on the “Dubya-like” kid in class.
Who Dat! Cares!
On a Monday Night in 1994: John Elway and Joe Montana battle it out in a shoot out at Mile High. Joe Montana throws the game winning touchdown with 8 seconds left.
On a Monday Night in 2000: The Jets make a miraculous fourth quarter comeback from a 30-7 deficit against the Dolphins to win the game in overtime.
On a Monday Night in 2006: Dennis Greens gives me my favorite new saying: “They are who we thought they were” following an amazing fourth quarter comeback by the Chicago Bears over his Arizona Cardinals.
On a Monday Night in 2007: Something will happen when the 5-7 Saints and 3-9 Falcons face off, but no one will know, because no one will be watching.
And by “no one,” we obviously don’t mean the Chicks. After all, we’re masochists. We say bring it, no matter how painful that “it” may be. Besides, there are worse things than being a Saints fan and knowing your playoff hopes are shot, your two starting running backs are out for the season, and your coach makes crappy decisions. We could have been born Falcons fans. Their season was over before it even started. And to top things off, there’s a pretty darn good chance things won’t look much brighter in Dirty Bird land next year.
The Chicks Hit it… and Quit it
Hit It!
Reggie Bush for fighting tooth and nail for that four yards in the go ahead touchdown against the Falcons in the fourth quarter. It was exhilarating to watch those muscle in your legs bulge while your buns of steel tightened as you…uh, oh….we mean, it was awesome to watch your hustle and commitment to taking to the team to the top.
Quit It!
Drew Brees, enough already. We can’t blame the offensive line, we can’t even really blame the receivers. We can only blame you for not getting good reads, throwing interceptions, and poorly thrown balls. Will the REAL Drew Brees please step forward? (Wait, we just had a terrifying thought. Is THIS the real Drew Brees????)
