I'm with Hagan...I need more time. Shockey needs to finish the season healthy with no distractions along the way. So far...so good.

I will give Payton his dues when/if he gets us to the SB, but I don't think I will ever like him. Fortunately, it doesn't matter how I feel about him.

I never had anything bad to say about Brees talent wise, but most know that I am not crazy about how much energy he burns trying to pump players up. It's just a personal taste thing for me. I don't think that will ever change, either.

I have said all along that I will gladly eat crow when the time is right, but, personally, I think a lot of people are jumping the gun with this, and I am a firm believer in karma, jinxes, etc. We've been 3-0 before...we've had meltdowns before, also. You would think that everybody would take what is happening right now with cautious optimism based on this franchises history, but far be it from me to try to crash the party. I will, however, wait and see how the rest of the season unfolds before I start celebrating.
