Is it the coaching? Is it the Quarterback? The defense that was always bad but for some reason regressed in the off season? What can a sports fan do when their team is probably one of the worst in the NFL? These are the questions that plagued me for just about 10 of the last 12 years. Now during my early days as a football fan, I was not as knowledgable as I am now(not that I know alot now, but I have an idea of what is going on). However, the added knowledge just adds to the pain, you can see certain packages that are not working, recognize patterns that the coach's playcalling is falling into, relying on things that last year worked better and refusing to abandon a floundering game plan.
Yesterday, I did not get to watch the Saints game in full, in fact, due to circumstances and corresponding Red Sox playoff games; it has been futile to try a sports bar to watch a New Orleans team. From the highlights and articles that I have read, it appears that the problem lies with the offensive passing game. It was this portion of the Saints attack that allowed them to strike quickly for first downs, move the chains and draw out longer drives while in doing so, keeping the weak defense off of the field. While watching the game on gamecast, I blamed Drew Brees for the incomplete after incomplete that popped up on the system. However, it appears that it is in fact the WR of the team constantly dropping the ball that has lead to the demise of the 2007 New Orleans Saints. The only thing, I can think when I hear this is that I am really glad that we got rid of Joe Horn. Seriously, what a great move. This is terrible, it isn't turning around any time soon. Robert Meachum needs to get on the field and prove that he was a first round pick.
On the brighter side, the Red Sox won last night, easily dominating the Angels and solidifying their status as the favorite to win to Series this year. Schilling looked great. Manny was amazing the whole series and appears to be fresh after the month or so off he took in late August. They are playing well and it showed in the sweep.
Upset of the week for next week?
St. Louis over Baltimore
Will it sting when A Rod is the World Series MVP for the Cubs next year after the Yanks get spanked in one of the next two rounds? I think it will.
Also, in related news, Manny's Home run from Friday night just passed over the Big Ben clock tower in London about 30 minutes ago. If it continues its' current trajectory it should reach earth's orbit in about 2 more weeks.
On the brighter side

Hey Certane, great article! I love reading about the sox big win. It reminded me about just how much fun of a series it was, watching together, celebrating together...getting the dominoes delivery guy to come inside and play strip poker with us after the game. Eating slices of pepperoni off each others chest...GOOD TIMES!

Hi TysyBUNS! :)
I think it is fair to say that we can all judge the quality of one's article by the amount of homosexual comments that follow it.
Please continue to write junky articles, I can't get enough of this man-on-man commentary!!!!
I too will see you later for Monday Night Football, CERTANE! I'll bring the beads!
Hi annoyed blog reader.....

but thanks for the input reader!
really enjoyed your comment!
A lady went to a plastic surgeon to see what he could do about a facelift.
The doctor said, "Well ma'am, we have a brand new procedure. We put a dial in the back of your head and when your skin starts to sag you simply turn the knob."
"That sounds good," she said.
Two years passed and she went back to tell the surgeon that the dial was giving her bags under her eyes.
"I'm sorry ma'am," replied the surgeon, "but those aren't bags - those are your tits!"
"Oh," said the woman, "so that explains the goatee."
Certane, don't forget the beers! They make the beads less painful.
I can not wait for tonight! Certane, who else is joining us?

An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer -- you're in the wrong place."
So, the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After awhile, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day, God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"
Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."
God replies, "What??? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake -- he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."
Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."
God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
