Seahawks12th

Well yeah, The Vikings didn't play the Saints. I responded to the comment about Percy being soft, I didn't infer The Saints were weak. I am curious to see the following matchups:

Your secondary vs Harvin and Tate
Our O Line vs Junior and Hicks
Will special teams play a factor??
Will Rob Ryan put eight in a box or play straight up?
Finally Kam Chancellor/Richard Sherman vs Jimmy Graham..

I truly believe one of the three teams (Saints, Seahawks or Panthers) will win the Super Bowl. I also think the Saints defense gets a bad rap for not being physical when it is clear they are..... I will not speak for the Saints but if we win Sunday night we have pretty much wrapped up the number 1 seed and since our stadium has been built, we have not lost a single playoff game at home. This game is almost a must game for you because if you lose, you are now having to beat Carolina and the your nemesis The Rams.

Harvin was also a rookie right?? A little different now..

As long as we're posting highlights, here's a neat one from Percy himself in full fumblerooskie mode...

I can agree with the Saints or Seahawks but the kitty cats winning a Super Bowl?? Baby steps...

Carolina and the notion of them hoisting the Lombardi is a bit over the top.

What do you not like about the Kitty Cats?? I promise mods I will ask nothing further about Carolina..

Cam Newton.

Just wait until things go south (start on a losing skid), he will pout, whine, sulk and point fingers. This guy is not a leader of men.

Didn't mean to hijack the thread with Scam talk.

Division rival, games don't always go that well ...

Rookie then, but he has not played a full game in what, almost 12 months? How much does he really play, and stay healthy, in a season, all total? I don't see how you can argue it's that much different, since up until last week he has not been in uniform for any games since what, early December of last year.

It's also not quite as do-or-die for the Saints, as you seem to think. Bottom line for me, it's basically win two more, and the Saints are in. So if they lose at Seattle, I will turn off the TV and go to bed, it's not the complete end of the world. Because of the Seahawks' easy cupcake schedule earlier this year, the Saints have been outside looking in on the #1 seed, for a while now. Seems like there's always one team every year that has that favorable schedule, that lets them pile up wins over weak or struggling teams, like Atlanta did last year, and this year it was the Seahawks' turn to be that team. There's always one team that piles up that impressive 13-3 or 14-2 type record, mostly by beating the Jacksonvilles and Vikings of the world, and hitting the hard teams when the hard teams are injured or having problems, star player injured etc., it just happens that way.

Plus, I'm not scared of the Panthers like some people here are. I have no doubt we can handle them. Sean Payton has never relinquished a division lead, once it has been secured. Like Russell Wilson being undefeated at home, that has never happened yet. The year we were a wild card team, we were NEVER in the driver's seat anywhere along the way. So I'm not losing ANY sleep over winning the division right now.


But of course I would like for the saints to grab the gold ring of that #1 seed...it will be tough. But it's certainly NOT like if we lose in Seattle we will be going dark for the season, or only talking about next season and next year's draft.

Cam Newton, Lame Laptop Thief

NOVEMBER 9--Two years ago--before all the Heisman Trophy talk and the stories about cash solicitations and alleged academic misconduct--Cameron Newton was copping to possessing a computer that was stolen from a fellow University of Florida student.

Newton, now the star quarterback at second-ranked Auburn University, was arrested in November 2008 and charged with grand theft, burglary, and obstructing justice in connection with the boosting of Paul Loschak’s Dell laptop. After Newton, now 21, admitted being in possession of the hot computer, he was placed into a pre-trial intervention program that ended last December with all charges against him being dropped.

A University of Florida Police Department report, excerpted here, details how investigators tracked the stolen laptop to the athlete, and how Newton tossed the computer out his dorm window in a humorously ill-advised attempt to hide it from cops (a friend scooped up the laptop and hid it behind a dumpster at a nearby school building).

As cops were about to search his room, Newton (then a backup to Florida QB Tim Tebow) was overheard on a cell phone telling someone, “There was a computer and I took it.” After noting that he had thrown the laptop out of the window, Newton remarked, “Huh! Cuz, they bout to search my room.”

After the athlete was placed under arrest, he was handcuffed and walked to a patrol car. That is when Newton’s phone--which had been seized by cops--began vibrating with a series of text messages from accomplice Cesar Perez, who had retrieved the computer from beneath Newton’s window. Unaware that his buddy was in custody, Perez assured Newton that cops, “did not have **** and if they did, he would be under arrest.” Perez advised that Newton should “keep denying it.”

Other records show that when Newton and his father complained about a grand theft charge being filed against the collegiate star, a prosecutor wrote Newton’s lawyer to remind him that his client had already been given “many concessions,” including the dropping of a felony burglary charge and the government’s agreement to allow Newton into a pre-trial intervention program.
