McAllister likely out for season

The New Orleans Saints nightmarish season has turned even worse.

FOXSports.com has learned that the initial test on Pro Bowl RB Deuce McAllister has shown a torn ACL, meaning McAlister will miss the rest of this season.
McAllister limped off the field with approximately seven minutes remaining in the third quarter of Sunday's horrific 52-3 loss to Green Bay after twisting his right knee at the end of a screen pass. Initial x-rays were negative but the team didn't make a final prognosis until further examination today.

The Saints will get McAllister a second opinion before deciding on definitive season-ending surgery but all indications are that the injury will need to be repaired surgically.

The Saints have endured one of the most painful seasons in league history. Their organization has been reduced to a constant traveling team without a true home stadium due to Hurricane Katrina. Their performance has been greatly affected by the tragedy, and the loss of their best player certainly cannot help measures.

Well I don't think Duece was going to be much of a factor this year anyway. Hasn't done much in the past 5 games. Blame it on the line ,play calling, or him ,or whatever. If he is lost for the season I predict he will never be back to the form that we hoped he would be in this year. Smith will be an able backup, and stecker a backup to him.

This entire franchise is going down the sh**ter

And he just got a new deal. It took Edge James two years to come back fully from a knee injury. I haven't stopped cussing since I read this. DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can someone tell me what he was doing in the game? Seriously. Go sit down...come back another day. Deuce should not have even had his shoulder pads on, much been on the field to get hurt.
