Saints 2012 schedule

I don't know, I think your schedule looks ok, you guys should easily beat the first 3 teams. Brees can run that offense himself.

Lions have a week 5 bye also. That pretty much SUCKS, but it is what it is.

Go Saints, GO LIONS!

Best of luck this season, I will be cheering for you.

I'll also be cheering for the Lions, thanks in large part to SloMo, so I hope you finish 2nd in the NFC North and make the playoffs.

Hopefully this won't be the last season the Vikes play in the NFC North, but it doesn't look too good for their long-term future in Minnesota.

Even with all the hubbub that's gone on, 12 wins & the division crown is very doable with that schedule ... make sure y'all give RGIII a proper greeting to the league in the opener, don't want him getting too big for his britches right off the bat,

.

Vikings' stadium stuff didn't go through ... they'll be packing up their bags and moving to Cali-forn-ia ... the LA Vikings, just doesn't sound right.

Well, they already got the Lakers from there if I remember correctly, so I guess it's only logical that they also take their NFL team.

In some cases the city decides to keep the franchise name, like what happened with Cleveland and the Browns, so I wonder if Minnesota could still keep the Vikings franchise even if they ended up losing the team?

I'm not sure who decides that or how it works, but I do remember reading about it some time a go, but I can't remember how exactly it worked.

Also, I think some stadium bill got rejected in SoCal within past days, so I'm not sure if LA are even able to receive a team at the moment or even in a year's time - don't know what the bill was about.

Oh yeah, the Lakers did start out in Minnesota ... that deal in Cleveland with the name, I think the City sued whoever bought the team for the right to keep the name "Browns" if the team relocated, so I assume Minnesota would have to take legal action to keep "Vikings" ... they weren't too concerned when the Lakers & North Stars left, probably won't fight for 'Vikings' either.

put like that, the Vikings should totally move. All those teams went on to become champions after leaving the state while Minnasotians (are they called that?) settled for mediocre to poor teams several years later.
