Thank you, Giants

Hi, My name is Jeremy Shockey! and I’m a fucking moron.Apparently, the Saints offered the Giants a 2nd round pick and Roman Harper for Jeremy Shockey! recently. New York turned them down.  Peter King says the Saints are still trying to acquire the moron from The U, though.

Why on earth would you trade the only DB that is worth anything and not hurt for a loudmouth locker cancer with awesome USA! tattoos and a broken leg? I really hope I never have to see Shockey!’s bald eagle wrapped in an American flag arm peaking out from under a fleur de lis. I think I would throw up every time I saw it.

Dave would love to see us sign this turd. I don’t really know why, he’s all about the “character guys.” Just say no to Jeremy Shockey!

Joey’s Back on the Market!

Joey The Falcons released elbuzzard.com’s favorite quarterback on Wednesday.

For an entire year, I hoped that I would get the chance to see Joey out and about in Atlanta, but no luck. i was going to tell him to keep his chin up. Now that chance is gone…

I know a team who’s in the market for a backup QB. The Saints were looking at almost dead Trent Green. Stay away from Green and give Joey a spot on the bench!

Saints get Gay

GayWe’ve got a new cornerback, Randall Gay, formerly of the New England Patriots and LSU.

The potential is unlimited. I can only hope that the New Orleans fan base can handle the responsibility with dignity and pride.

As Dave said, Paul, you have no excuse not to wear a Saints jersey now. Get a child’s size. Cut it off right below the number.

Uninspired name jokes not withstanding, I guess he’s an ok cornerback. He has to be better than Jason David, right? Let’s get another.

One thing is for certain, Dave will never play Madden 09 without a constant feeling that he has made the wrong choice.

On to the Next Bush-el of Bananas

Reggie BushReggie’s lawyer needs a bodyguard, and he brings pistols to his desposition.

A lawyer for a sports marketer who is suing football star Reggie Bush said he and his client walked out of a deposition Tuesday after a bodyguard for Bush’s attorney opened his jacket to expose a pistol.

Reggie, what’s up? This whole story is getting odder and odder. Hopefully this is all resolved soon and before it becomes a bigger stupid thing.

Re: “Cut the cutesy stuff,” Our Opinions, Dec. 4.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding Tuesday’s editorial about Coach Sean Payton. Sean has done a wonderful job as our head coach and has been an exemplary leader in raising the collective spirits of this city through the play of our team and by participating in many civic and charitable events. If this article appeared in a football context, it would be penalized for at least a “late hit,” “block in the back,” and “unsportsmanlike conduct.”

I am shocked that you would use your valued editorial space to lambaste our head coach based on one play. Do the math. Sean has coached our team for 30 games since we hired him in 2006. These are the same plays that have defined his success in 2006 and 2007 and the same plays that your newspaper has deemed genius. He has called more than 2,000 offensive plays, many of which your newspaper celebrates. He makes a decision in one game that our players are trained to execute and do not, but yet your newspaper vilifies him in the same editorial section reserved for the most corrupt of the corrupt who pollute our city.

We are proud of Sean Payton for what he stands for and what he does for our team and this city. I am disappointed your newspaper does not feel the same way.

We’ll hear about this later from Mr. Benson when he tries to move the team again as proof that the city does not support the team. I love Sean Payton, but as a head coach, you are going to get scrutinized and criticized when you screw up. Shut up, Tom Benson.

Heartbroken again

The Saints of old are back!  It was a missed extra point and a backwards pass all rolled into one.  After the safety, I was sure we had that game in the bag.  Up by three, 3:30 or so left on the clock, just run the ball and kill the clock.  Punt it to them with a minute or so.  They don’t have any timeouts.  I forgot the number one truth of Saints football: There’s always time to lose the game.

We call some kind of ugly end around pitch from Reggie to Devery, and we put the ball on the ground.  I guess if that ridiculous play works, Payton is a genius.  Instead, he just looks like a complete fool, and costs us our chance at the post-season.

At least we have someone else to blame besides Jason David.

Who Dat

SaintsFinally.

My friend Wes, a Bills fan, said yeah last night, “Yeah, you forget what it feels like to win, don’t you?”

Where was the team that showed up last night in our first four games? Despite making me really nervous in the fourth quarter with all the pass plays, we looked like what everyone expected us to look like.

Update:

This guy:

Hollis Thomas

Is quickly becoming one of my favorite Saints.  He gets fatter and fatter every game.  In a season that has been bereft of man-boobs without Bill Parcells, Hollis Thomas is filling the void.

O. F. Mare

SaintsIn an article in the Sun-Herald about the Saints kicker situation and Mare’s groin injury that is supposedly keeping him from making field goals, Olindo F. Mare said:

“I’m not worried about anybody taking my job as far as when I’m healthy,” Mare said.

Then Mare alluded to Tony Romo’s five interceptions and lost fumble when the Dallas Cowboys played at Buffalo on Monday night.

“You can’t base it on one game or Dallas wouldn’t have a quarterback.”

Yeah, but the difference is, Dallas won.
