Thoughts on Round 1 of 2012 NFL Draft: Meh…

For the first time in a long time, the NFL draft bored me. In fact, I was annoyed that I chose to watch the draft live and DVR Community instead of the other way around. In truth, my team didn't have any picks in the first round so it's not like I had an emotional investment in what was going down. But even beyond that, this year's draft seemed to lack some of the dramatic story lines and shocking moments I've come to look forward to. We all knew the top 2 picks. No controversy there. It was Andrew Luck to the Colts and Robert Griffin III to the Redskins. But remember a few years ago when the Texans shocked everyone, taking Mario Williams as the first pick with Reggie Bush going to … [Read more...]

“Anonymous Sources Can Suck It”, Says Anonymous Source

anonymous source

Chicks in the Huddle recently received a letter from a source who has asked not to be identified, regarding the latest round of accusations against the New Orleans Saints. While we can not independently verify the accusations made in the letter, we find it important to bring these allegations to light. After all, what good is a rumor if there is no one around to report on it? The letter is posted below. Dear Anonymous Source(s), I can't wait to hear what dirty gossip you'll be handing over to the media next about the New Orleans Saints. Perhaps that Coach Sean Payton eats his own young? Maybe that team owner Tom Benson cleans his tires with live kittens? Your latest doozy is a claim … [Read more...]

Bring on the 2012 NFL Draft….PLEASE!

Thank you NFL Draft, for restoring normalcy to a wickedly insane offseason. The playoffs were a downright bummer for this Saints fan. The Super Bowl was whack. Then came that bitch of a snitch, bounty drama, and the exile of Sean Payton. And of course, the Saints have yet to freaking sign Drew Brees. So needless to say, this chick could use the distraction that the draft tends to bring. Will angels descend from the heavens when the "savior" Andrew Luck finally hoists his white Colts jersey? What kind of crazy ass socks will RG III be wearing when he goes to the Redskins? Will Eagles fans boo regardless of who gets picked for their team because well, you know, that's just how they roll? … [Read more...]

An Uncomfortable Message to Saints Fans

10722001-large

After February 7th, 2010, I decided that I would never again play the part of "the franchise victim." The Cinderella story for my New Orleans Saints had been realized. The dream was now a reality. And honestly, "lovable loser" was a title I was all too thrilled to finally shake off. Fast forward two years, I get the sense that some Saints fans are vying to be considered a different kind of victim. We're victims of "The Man" or "The System" or "Roger Goodell's plot to destroy anything below the Mason Dixon line". Maybe all those things are true but even if they are, I've decided to stick to my guns. I'm not embracing that "victim" label ever again. The bounty scandal that set the … [Read more...]

Jeremy Shockey Proves He’s Not the Snitch

Feel free to slowly remove the pin out of your Jeremy Shockey voodoo dolls, Saints fans. Our former tight end turned frenemy not only says he's not the one that snitched on the team in the bounty scandal but he tweeted proof! Former Bucs player and current NFL analyst/generally obnoxious human being Warren Sapp outed Shockey the day the punishments came out. Shockey immediately denied the claims but on Thursday, he took things a step further. Shockey tweeted a text conversation between he and Sean Payton where Payton denies that Shockey was the rat. Here's the Twit Pic: So, either Shockey changed the name of his mom to "Coach" in his iPhone contacts list or...he's not the one worthy … [Read more...]
