Un-effing-believable: Colston Out 4-6 Weeks
Well Saints fans, it looks like the fate of our offense will literally be in the hands of Devery Henderson, Lance Moore and David Patten for the next month and a half. According to the Associated Press, Marques Colston had surgery on his left thumb and will be out until at least week five of the NFL season. Hating it!
One-on-One with Marvelous Marques
You don’t have to be a football expert to know there’s nothing “endorsement deal-worthy” about going 252nd in the draft. In fact, few fans find themselves getting hot and bothered over any team’s 7th overall pick. So how is it that in 2006, smack dab in the middle of Reggie Bush mania, a relative unknown by the name of Marques Colston brought sexy back to the New Orleans Saints?
In his rookie year, Colston didn’t just find himself up against the Hollywood hype of Reggie but in the shadow of the Saints’ premiere wide receiver, “Hollywood” Horn. But it didn’t take long for Marques to create his own “Hollywood-worthy” story. In 2006, he racked up over 1,000 receiving yards, averaged more than 14 yards a reception, and scored 8 touchdowns. He also played a crucial role in helping the Saints climb their way all the way to a club first: the NFC championship game. (I can remember the “mini-gasms” that came with that feat as if they were yesterday…)
The NFL Wives Club: Meet The First Lady of Saints Football

In business, in politics, and in life, we often hear of “the woman behind the man.” These are the women who are seen and not heard and who stare like deer in headlights at news conferences while their husbands come out of the closet. These are the women who could learn a thing or two from Beth Payton, the wife of Saints head coach Sean Payton.
You see Beth Payton is not the woman behind the man. She’s the woman next to the man when he needs someone by his side, in front of the man when he needs some guidance, and behind the man, only in those rare times when he questions his own leadership. I recently got an opportunity to chat with Beth Payton about everything from her storybook romance with the Saints’ head coach to her love for Saints football to the new passion in her life, helping the people of the Gulf Coast.
Get in Marques Colston’s Pants…
…or at least his jersey. The hottie wide receiver is auctioning off all sorts of priceless possessions to raise money for Colston Charities. The charity benefits neglected, abused, and underprivileged children.
For the right price, you can win a one of a kind Hofstra jersey. This is one of only two jerseys Marques wore during his senior year at Hofstra University. The signed jersey also comes with an autographed picture and the sweet stench of schweaty man!
Aw Hell to the No!!!
The 2008 Pro Bowl Roster is set and guess who ain’t on the list? Here’s a hint, they wear black and gold, they cause frequent bouts of anxiety, and are responsible for my future stint in rehab. (If you’re still confused, you should probably just stop reading now.)
Sadly, not nary a Saint is going to Hawaii. Can’t say I really expected any of them to, with the exception of my future baby daddy, the man who catches passes like he caught my heart, Daddy Long Legs himself: Marques “Go-Go-Gadget Arms” Colston. Wanna know who’s going instead at wide reciever for the NFC? Terrell Owens, Larry Fitzgerald, Torry Holt, & Donald Driver. To that I say: “Aw Hell to the No!”
