The difference between now and say, the team and playcalling of 2008, is huge.

Muppet babies. Hah. Outstanding.

Before 2009 the Saints had never been in or won a Super Bowl.......

“Will the future bring your wisdom to me?
Or will darkness rule the kingdom for all eternity?
You will live in my heart…
I will still remember even though we are apart.
I will feel you there for me
As I walk the road of life
You help me fight for what is right
I will honour thy name”
― Nostradamus

If you don't think about the passage above too much, Michel predicts the outcome for this game. If it doesn't tell you who will emerge victorious from kitchen stadium, it's too late, you've thought about it too much and there is no going back.

Our short week to prepare just got a day shorter because the Saints are headed to chicago today instead of tomorrow to avoid hurricane Karen. That, and players fretting about their homes and families definitely spells disaster. I wish they'd just let us forfeit this one and not get anyone hurt.

These guys get to spend a lot more times with their families than a normal working man. They will be just fine and they can afford to bring their familes up for the game if they like. I am good with going early and think it will help them relax and prepare if there is an "upset" ggame I don't think this one is it.

... but we had a short week to begin with. We played until almost midnight Monday and probably did nothing other than rest and recover Tuesday. We might have gotten a little work in on Wednesday, but probably very little yesterday and none today. Compare that to chicago who played near home Sunday, got to watch us play Monday night and has been preparing ever since. I can't help but worry about all that.

Well I'm not sure about the "only" part, but it definitely applies to bikinis.
