Danny Cox: DVR Alert: 'Saints - America's Game' and 'Saints Fan Forum with Roger Goodell' on NFLN tonight

Kind of strange seeing all the attention on a team that has long been ignored by not only other cities and states, but even the national media for such a long time. But now the New Orleans Saints are the center of attention and looking forward to opening the 2010 regular season on Thursday night against the Minnesota Vikings.

For now though, Saints' fans can enjoy plenty of specials devoted to their favorite team donned in black and gold.

Last night, the NFL Network showed a great special entitled Sinner to Saint: Anthony Hargrove's Super Bowl Journey and it was a great look at the path he has gone on to be where he is today. Replays will be shown on Wednesday at 11:00 AM Central time.

Tonight though, there are going to be two shows devoted entirely to the Saints and they look to be great ones. Both are on the NFL Network.

The first comes on at 8:00 PM Central time and is the Saints' episode of the great series, America's Game. It will detail the fantastic trek the team has gone on in the past few years en route to a Super Bowl Championship. the show will be narrated by actor Brad Pitt. Below is the press release detailing the episode:
