This goes with the sick Kent vs healthy Leslie poll

Per Jimmy V: There’s obviously not enough beating going on in your marraige. Someone needs to talk to a fist, or this will never be resolved.

Yea Leslie, give Kent the beat down he deserves. Here’s a little roll playing game: Kent you slip into that little hot pink tube dress that Whitney wore in the video “I wanna dance with somebody” while Leslie puts on Bobby Brown’s My Prerogative and start beating Kent like the little crack whore that he is.

Poll:

Is it unreasonable to ask your husband not to drink out of your water glass when he’s sick and you’re not?

Last night he was drinking out of my glass at the bathroom sink and was very offended that I asked him not to, especially when he’s sick. He countered that he has a sinus infection which is not contagious and besides he’s been drinking out my glass ever since he got sick and since I haven’t gotten sick, it obviously doesn’t matter.

His also said his other reason for using it is because he’s too lazy to get another from of the kitchen which is 3 feet away.

So I ask you, is it unreasonable to request he not use my glass?

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.
