Terry Bradshaw, NO’s only hope?

Terry Bradshaw interested in buying Saints
Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw said Wednesday he wants to put a potential ownership group together that would attempt to buy the New Orleans Saints and keep them in Louisiana, where Bradshaw grew up.
“I’m supporting the citizens of Louisiana who don’t deserve to lose the Saints because of a hurricane,” said Bradshaw, who starred for Louisiana Tech before winning four Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Now that is a great idea. The best idea I’ve heard about the Saints’ future since this whole thing started.

I would imagine Bradshaw has some clout around the NFL. He and his investors ought to start putting pressure on Benson. I know Tom wants to give the Saints to his granddaughter and all, but I bet a big wad of cash is an even better inheritance than an incompetant football team with fans who now absolutely despise your family.

I have to remind myself that good things don’t happen to the Saints. But I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that Terry Bradshaw is the Grand Marshall of Endymion or Bacchus come February.

In defense of Bob Stoops

Bob Stoops immediately transformed an Oklahoma program coming off an 3-win season to a national power. The Sooners have been to four BCS bowls in five years, including a national title and three appearances in the national championship game.
Currently, he is leading a team to a bowl game that has played more freshmen than any other team in the nation. The Sooners’ three losses have come against TCU, UCLA and Texas. Those teams have lost two games combined.
Not only is Stoops a top-10 coach, he’s probably in the top five.

Great strides

Leslie got me a pedometer, which I have really wanted for a long time.

It took me 2380 steps to get to work this morning. According to the pedometer, that’s 1.034 miles or 1.666 kilometers.

It also says it is “1 5.0” calories, but I don’t know what that means.

Out

I’m off to Augusta for a conference for the next few days. I expect Dave, Leslie, and Greg to keep up our streak of at least one update everyday.

I know they can do it.
