NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - 2010 Offseason

[Theben]

There is no joy in Mudville tonight. But for those who put Bears fans in that same boat a few years back,

suck on it!!

[Lord Avalon]

WHO DAT!

Great game. The Saints' coach has balls.

Big brass ones.

Laissez les bons temp rouler!

[Ben Kenobi]

Hey Spanos, thanks for trading Brees! This one's on you.

[MOBIUS]

Who Dat!

There was certainly a bit of "Lache pas la patate" before "Laissez les bons temps rouler"

New Orleans was my favourite city in the US and the most friendly - definitely a fitting end to the season for the Saints for a team and city that deserved the Superbowl!

I now have a big hangover after watching it at our annual Superbowl party here in Cardiff.

[OzzyKP]

Saints!!!



I've been in NO twice since Katrina, they love their Saints and they definitely deserved this win. Great game, great result.

[Lord Avalon]

Hey Spanos, thanks for trading Brees! This one's on you.

Brees was a free agent.

[Tuberski]

He gives them the final piece they lack.

Reggie Bush is great, but he's not an everydown back, and he's not good at the goaline.

Remember them running Mike Bell on the goaline?

Get LT and drop Pierre Thomas and Bell and you are good to go. Would be sweet to see LT get his ring with a team that appreciates him.

Maybe they can get Dan Marino and drop Brees too, get Marino a ring with a team that appreciates him.

Pierre Thomas is a better back than LT is, now.

ACK!

[SlowwHand]

He's better than Jim Brown now, too. Sweetness. Red Grange.

That is awesome, Dan!

Indy fans rally around their team with heartwarming welcome home!

Here's how the optimist might look at it: the scene at the Indianapolis International Airport was the scaled-down, sober version of the impromptu parade that broke out in New Orleans. Instead of thousands of rabid fans lining the streets as the team motorcade made its way from the airport, Indy's faithful showed their support by staying home.

According to the Indianapolis Star, 11 fans greeted the Colts as they returned to town Monday afternoon.

Eleven. "Win or lose, they're still our team," said Brownsburg resident Karen Calhoun, who carried a "Where's the parade" sign. The small group huddled together in the snow outside the closed Express Mail sorting facility at the airport... Unfortunately, the team plane landed at a private terminal, the players and coaches quietly piled onto awaiting buses, and rolled off without getting within a few hundred feet of the 11 people in the greater-Indy area who thought it would be great fun to wait in the cold for the Super Bowl losers.

But that Midwestern spirit always shines through.

"We wanted to show our civil pride," said Paul Calhoun, Karen Calhoun's husband. And another onlooker, Marilyn Kurek, added "We still beat out 30 other teams."

They should put that on a t-shirt.

[Grandpa Troll]

Maybe they can get Dan Marino and drop Brees too, get Marino a ring with a team that appreciates him.

Pierre Thomas is a better back than LT is, now.

ACK!

Thanks for the laugh Tuber

I always enjoy reading your commentary, and although Ben shall of course come up with some twisted version of reality, you are spot on

[DirtyMartini]

He'll enter the HOF on his first try. I imagine LT will, too.

So did "Sweetness", still don't want him on my team now.

[Ben Kenobi]

Pierre Thomas is a better back than LT is, now.

You'd rather have 793 yards and 6 TDs to 730 yards and 12 TDs?

LT's worst season is better than Thomas's best.
