NFaiL: Vince is Broke and Chad is Sorry

vince young

Oh Vinny Young. It seems like just a few years ago you were losing your mind as quarterback of the Tennessee Titans. Now, you're broke, jobless and apparently a future Weight Watchers spokesperson due to a Cheesecake Factory addiction. They grow up so fast! We learned this week that not only did Vince Young squander away $26 million over his six year career, but we also heard rumors about just what he may have wasted his money on. Apparently Vince just loves him some Louisiana Chicken Pasta from Chessecake Factory (and who among us doesn't?) because he reportedly dropped about $5k a week at the restaurant during his rookie season. That's according to waiters who called into a radio … [Read more...]

The Super Bowl Is More Important Than…

...apparently a whole mess of stuff, according to the average American. And I thought it was just me and my fellow chicks who suffered from an odd, unhealthy obsession with the game. But nope, it turns out the rest of you are a bunch of weirdos, too! Hooray!! According to a survey run by CouponCabin.com (I know, I know...but just hear me out), 20% of people said they would miss a loved one's funeral if their favorite team was in the game. (Say what?!!!) 21% would miss an important work responsibility and 20 percent would miss the wedding of a close friend. (If someone cares so little about the Super Bowl that they would plan their wedding on game day, are they really worth being friends … [Read more...]

Saints vs Titans: How the Refs Almost Stole Christmas

r-SAINTS-TITANS-large570

I for one fully agree that it's a total cop out to blame the refs for what your team does or doesn't do in a close game. With that said the officiating crew for Sunday's Titans/Saints game on Sunday can suck it and all of you know exactly why. The dramatic, final moments of that game don't tell the full tale of the pain we Saints fans endured and neither does the score. You see, there never should have been any "dramatic, final moments" because the game should never have been that close. Jimmy Graham scored a touchdown that ended up not counting and the Titans QB Jake Locker didn't score a touchdown, which ended up counting. I'm no math whiz but that's at least a 12 point difference, folks! Let's … [Read more...]

We’ve Seen These Saints Before…

Brees Browns

It was just a couple of years ago that I found myself doing the unthinkable: relaxing during the 4th quarter of a Saints game. I knew it was risky, that I was playing with fire, but something told me "This Saints team is special. This Saints team finds ways to win. This Saints team has what it takes to go all the way." Given what the Saints have been able to accomplish over the past few weeks, it's safe to say that funny feeling of peace and certainty is creeping right back. When the Saints faced the Lions on Sunday, they proved their demolition of the Giants just the week before was no fluke. As predicted, Brees-bot made another prime time appearance, shredding the Lions' defense to pieces. … [Read more...]

Dear Preseason, Suck It

saints titans

The New Orleans Saints ended preseason with a bang, specifically me banging my head against the coffee table begging for it to all be over. The final score of the team's encounter with the Titans was 32-9 . As bad as that score is, it doesn't nearly tell the tale of just how bad this game was. All I can say is "Lawd have mercy on us" if our starters ever got hurt... Do I reaaaaally have to relive this nightmare? I mean, really? Ugh, fine. The 2nd and 3rd (or was that the 9th and 10th) stringers went out of their way to prove why they don't belong on the team. With the exception of Joique Bell, who has slowly transitioned from long shot to potential playmaker, the offense and defense … [Read more...]
