Saints are DEAD LAST--

franksinatra · 09-09-2007, 01:18 PM

In today's edition of the Houston Chronicle, their long time sports columnist, John McClain, has the New Orleans Saints ranked DEAD LAST in his Power Rankings. That's right ....Dead LAST in the NFL! He says about the Saints; "Obviously they're not the worst team, but after the beating they took, they feel like it." He picks the Saints last, and then criticizes his own opinion....why would he do this? (It would seem that he has a strong dislike for New Orleans, Saints fans, The Saints...etc.) You can email John @ john.mcclain@chron.com and ask him yourself. Also...John can be heard on 610 AM on Monday at 7:30 am., Tuesday at 10 am. and Friday at 4:30 p.m.

Hell, as much as I 'd like to rip that writer a new one, I agree. The Saints are not using their strengths. They planned very poorily for the colts, offensively and defensively. They deserve to be panned for their bad game planning. I mean c'mon, using a 4-3 defense most of the time against the colts, and not power running Deuce downhill against a light colts defense-wake up coaches!

He did it because of those of you who don't realize that Power Rankings are GAY!!!

Why read that crap... its worthless nonsense!

WHO CARES! Power Rankings mean absolute nothing. This isn't college ball.

How could he have them rated last? Until today, they were second in the league in every meaningful statistical category.

Hey nice advertisement for John and his email and the times he's on the radio and just great free advertising for ole John. I mean John should come here to validate himself with power rankings that have the Saints dead last. ANYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL finds that pretty funny. I love it, one person, one post, registers today.

I didn't catch that when I read it... all I saw was power rankings and it got me going.

Dead last in totally gay self-promoting power rankings? I may not sleep.

Mclain also picked the Texans to beat the Saints with his preseason predictions for the Texans. He also called it being a fumble by Reggie and Mario Williams returns it for a TD in OT. So that ought to tell you something about him.

If they coach and play the way they did in week one, his opinion will prove true.
