My sister and law who is also a diehard saints fan was in the middle of drinking her Zinfindel and it came flying out she was laughing so hard I think Zinfindel actually came out of her nose!!!! I said that all to say we are admirers of you guys progress as well as our own, let's toast to franchises that have come a mighty long way, but not with Zinfindel, I'll take a light beer!!!

http://smileys.on-my-web.com/reposit...rinking-48.GIF ... this Guinness is for you a/cat, to the Saints getting better & the Lions meeting them in the NFC Championship one day ... oh, what a glorious day that will be ... to the continued success of both, may Drew's arm never fail him and may there never be an overthrown ball Calvin can't reach. Bud'mo!

Dinner & football, two of my favorite subjects as well ... made 'Breesy Cheesy Beef & Mac' last night from the recipe I got on B&G and it is hands-down the BEST mac & cheese on the planet. No wonder Drew eats it before a game, it puts you in a great mood ...

Well, he did say in one of the Dick's Sporting Goods spots that he always eats the same thing before each game, so maybe you're on to something here SloMo. ;-)

Yep, after eating that, I was ready to throw the ol' pigskin around, get franchised and then sign a multi-million dollar, long-term contract. :mrgreen:

Actually this off-season, at least to the date, I'd say the Saints have lost ground in their division. Bucs, Falcons, and Panthers all have closed the gap a bit IMO. Still not sure anyone is better than the Saints but I do think if the season started tomorrow they might have improved less than anyone else in the division.

I don't think Morgan was really hurt, just stashed on IR because we knew we would lose Colston and or Meachum or Devery this and next year so we prepared for it. We've got Aarington and Morgan to replace Meachem & Henderson next year. If we can get Hill I believe his name is in the second round and get Lofton & the LB from the Seahawks or keep Dunbar we're looking good going into the draft.

I think Atlanta got worse.

Carolina shored up some spots but lost Bernadeau (OG/C) and Dan Conner, and still haven't signed anyone of note.

Like Danno said, I don't think the other NFC South teams have made any significant gains toward catching the Saints - Tampa has made the biggest moves for sure, but it'll still be Freeman throwing the ball to Jackson, case closed.
