Ahem…for reasons of disclosure, let me start out by saying I am a social worker…I am a social worker but I am also not stupid. I’ve worked in some social programs in my day that were, shall we just say, not cost-effective. However, let me also say that those days were a long time ago. Things have changed in my field and now pretty much … Continue reading And round and round we go…NOPD windfalls…
Editor’s note: Okay, that was a big pile of suck-ass, but not something anyone didn’t see coming. When I hear announcers on ESPN calling the Saints the second best team in the NFL, I love it, absolutely love it…but…how many times you going to win on a last minute drive? Well, not every…not this week…and that’s when the status comes into question…oh, and did I … Continue reading Saints vs. Tampa Bay and…uh, my grandparents?
Yes, I love the New Orleans Saints…but of equal important in this week’s game are the following five simple facts: 1. I hate Michael Jordan. 2. Michael Jordan is involved with the Charlotte Bobcats, located in the same city as the Panthers. 3. Micheal Jordan used to play for UNC, a college located very close to Charlotte. 4. I’m assuming that since Michael Jordan is so … Continue reading Saints vs. Carolina, and Michael Jordan, and Barack Obama…
Jacksonville… God, even the name is boring. I’m having a hard time getting up for this game, maybe it’s because its Florida, the nations graveyard. You see, when you live in the north, what Florida’s really known for is being the place where people move to when they get old, you know, for the climate. And when you hear that for a few decades, what … Continue reading Saints vs. Jaguars…
Today the Saints play Houston… wonderful, good…I hope Houston goes down in flames and New Orleans rides Drew Brees and my newest most favorite player, Mark Ingram to a good ol’ fashioned square dance stomping. Sure, Houston isn’t as bad as Atlanta (Matt Ryan makes my skin crawl) but hey, Houston has plenty of suckitude to offer, consider the following gift that infernal city gave to … Continue reading Saints vs. Houston, and Kenny Rogers…
When it comes to… …disaster aid, clean air, clean water, financial regulation, voting rights, health care, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, mortgage reform, banking reform, union support and collective bargaining, jobs programs, unemployment insurance, infrastructure repair, fairness in taxation, energy assistance, coal, natural gas and oil industry regulation, overall environmental concerns including endangered species and especially global warming, state and national parks, wildlife refuges, storm monitoring, food safety … Continue reading The GOP’s final solution…
Since every team in the division lost, can we just pretend the season starts today? A destruction of the Chicago Bears would sure be a nice place to start…because as I wander around the windy city on my day off tomorrow, it would be a beautiful thing to wear some Saints gear and laugh, and laugh, and laugh, and laugh again kinda steely-eyed creepy…you know, … Continue reading Saints Versus Bears…
Wow, sure seems like Ken’s getting defensive down in the Gulf… Defending himself against accusations that interim claims are not being paid, or are not enough, Ken Feinberg said, “I just think people should move on already. I mean, this is not a lifelong operation…I have no objection to people taking the interim payments, but I do think that there should be a recognition that … Continue reading Yep, its still the fishers fault, part 17…
Okay, yes it was close…that fumble by Colston, the allowed 108 yard run back, the fourth and inches…damn. I have to add, however, 400 plus yards by Brees and even though Ingram didn’t make the last play, I like him, and Sproles too. I think it’s going to be a good year, if the defense can pull it together and the Saints beat Atlanta, thrice…twice … Continue reading Damn…damn…damn…but…
Though I grew up in Green Bay Packer territory, grew up watching the likes of Lynn Dickey, Don Majkowski and early Brett Farve…to this day, there’s only been one authentic football jersey I’ve ever owned and it was the New Orleans Saints, Pat Swilling #56. Jersey’s long gone by now, but not a loyalty to a team that’s come to define something much more than just a … Continue reading Uh, did somebody say the Saints?!
