Hey Red, when a person has a gumbo on the stove and a large screen one should never ask for anything else, you got it going on bro at your crib..
My wife made a gumbo yesterday, I ate 3 bowls of that brown juice...

Joe Horn made the paper in Los Angeles (Daily Breeze)...not Reggie. This is a good sign....people are starting to take notice of the TEAM.

Yesterday in Nebraska I was PISSED. Have in-laws over at house, can't get out to the bar. Vikings have a bye week, hoping Saints are on TV .... nope Dallas/Houston (knew that would be one-sided) & Seattle/St Louis (which ended up being a good game at least). Well I guess I can handle that. I figure they'll be on radio, right? Nope local radio has winless Tennesseee vs Washington and winless Bucs vs Bengals. WTF! Those games over Eagles(4-1) at Saints(4-1) ???? So I'm stuck at home with the in-laws and kids screaming watching the scores update on the corner of the TV. Joy. What a stupid f*cking way to watch a game. I may as well be at work.

The Saints are 5-1 and boy am I happy, but if I hear some MF call the Saints America's Team one more time I'll shove a Dallas Cowboys helmet up their rear because the Saints get very little respect or publicity.
I'll be pissed if the Saints don't get awarded at least one of those Sunday night slots. Our schedule is tough and those should be good games.

BTW I'm putting complaints in to my local radio stations to tell them to put winning teams on the radio instead of pulling this crap out of their a**.

I hope I can catch the game in Arkansas on Thanksgiving weekend...gonna be at my
in-laws...UUGGGHH...not so bad though since my father-in-law got us tickets for the Tigers vs. Razorbacks in Little rock...I may get beat down up there but no one can stop me from singing "Hold that Tiger"

DirecTV has the NFL locked up contractually until 2010. You're gonna be waiting a long time. The NFL signed a Six year exclusivity contract with DIRECTV in 2004 for Sunday games. Which is why the NFL network is going to be showing games on Thur. and Sat.

Personally, I think our game would be a far superior matchup.

I can see it now. . . a grand majority of the country tuning in 2 weeks from now to see the Saints and Ravens return from their bye weeks to do some battle. Can I get an AMEN, brothers and sisters!!!

How sweet it is!! !

Go Saints!!

And here in Houston, we will get that riveting Titans / Texans clash. Oh well, good excuse to go to the sports bar.
