Well, no need to recycle old news. The saints loss to the cowgirls this weekend. 3 reasons why that's not the end of the world (other than the fact it was against dallas):
1 - The weight of going undefeated for an organization that has never even made a superbowl is off now. The pats did it after winning 3 superbowls. The colts are still alive for it, 3 years after winning a superbowl....
2 - There was an invincible feeling around this team. Questionable calls, all the right breaks, key breakdowns always went the black and gold way. The loss proves we're normal
3 - There are still 2 games left which means momentum can be re-established heading into a bye week before a home playoff game.
In other news, forget the national championship...I'm covering the fees for 3 lucky readers to head to one of these bowl games:
LITTLE CAESARS BOWL
MEINEKE CAR CARE BOWL
EagleBank BOWL
PAPAJOHNS.com BOWL
Yes, these are real games....who's with me???
Is it me, or do all the qb's sound exactly the same when they are calling out audibles before the play starts?
Here are a few commercials/vid clips I found to be amusing this past week.
Has anybody seen the perfect brownie commercial? Something makes me want to order that every time I see the commercial. At the same time, something about that guys voice makes me want to meet him and immediately drop kick him in the right nostril. He may have the most annoying voice I've ever heard a man have.
This asian guy makes my day every time I see it
I would imagine if you ranked IQ on the team....this guy would be dead last!
Lastly, not sure how this happened, but mama always said "make sure you have on a clear pair of underwear". Not sure what the ruling is for going commando.
Merry Christmas

Tuesday Morning Quarterback
Let me start off with a dap dap salute congrats to my Alma Mater Prairie View A&M University for winning the SWAC Championship. I'm no bandwagon fan and have been accused (rightfully so) of a general lack of support for them. I couldn't miss the opportunity to congratulate them on a successful season, especially following the near decade of ineptness. They won their first game after 80 straight losses my freshman year in '98 and now have completed the program turnaround. Truly an inspirational story....are you listening SAINTS?!
Doesn't Desean Jackson remind you of that little kid you never wanted to be IT in...well, the game of IT because you knew he was gonna catch you very quickly?
Lets slow down the Mike Vick is back bandwagon. Running 1 yard TD's should not equate to a team taking a chance on him next season....non-surprisingly, it will.
If Golf was a stock, when Tiger announced an indefinite leave of absense, wouldn't that stock fall quicker than the Raiders confidence when Jamarcus Russell comes back into a game?
I couldn't help but think one thing when Larry Fitzgerald went down with the knee injury in the 3rd qtr of last nights game: Madden Curse (and this year it's a 2 for 1 special considering Troy Polamalu is on the cover with him).
Was it me or did the Cardinals look like they just met each other 20 minutes before the game last night?
I have no idea what this guy considered himself to be doing during the nyg/phi game but i loved it!
I've been dunked on once in my life and I didn't like it. Luckily it was in practice so I was just ridiculed by my teammates. This vid features D-Fish taking it with NO Protection! Check out his teammates on the bench to the left afterwards.
Quite possibly one of the best soccer goals you'll ever see.

Quote Me on This
First of all dats off to Robert Meachem for single-handedly making a top 10 play (see vid) of the YEAR that helped keep the undefeated streak alive at 12 wins and counting. Add an OT victory to yet another way the who dat nation can beat you. I've been re-missed in not saying the word, but wins pulled out of nowhere like that almost have me saying "Desti_ _". As Drew stated, "Maybe it's our time".
Was I the only one who noticed a complete 180 by Mike Vick in his attitude. 2 weeks ago he said he felt like he was being wasted and is not a wildcat quarterback. A game in which he throws and runs for a touchdown in his former playing town of Atlanta and he's sounding like the teammate of the year. "I just want to help this team win a superbowl anyway I can".
I'm not sure what the lineman seen below hoped to accomplish, but he was well deserved of the "C'Mon MAYNE"
When Mike Tomlin (head coach for the Pittsburg Steelers that looks just like Omar Epps, what? he does) said "In December, we're unleashing hell...because we have to" I wonder if that included losing to the Raiders of if he essentially means if we don't make the playoffs we're cheapshotting the superstars on the other team!
If anybody knows how to get a hold of Former Notre Dame Coach, Charlie Weis, can you please ask him how the following was "taken out of context" when speaking about current head coach for USC, Pete Carroll?
"Let me ask you this question: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house? You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news. "He's doing it in Malibu and it's not national news. What's the difference? I don't understand. Why is it OK for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I'm scrutinized when I swear. I'm sorry for swearing; absolve my sins."
Sounds pretty straightforward to me!

Exhaling
On the heels of watching my saints go 11-0 against the standard of the NFL, my only question is "What they gone say now?" Aside from the NFC championship game against the Bears in 06, this was arguably the most important game in franchise history and was a crucial step in trying to completely move away from the infamous moniker of Aints. 3 notes from the game and I'll leave it at that, for now.
1 - Highest rated ESPN event ever
2 - Mike (best cornerback in the league) McKenzie, [just ask him] played lights out in his first action in over a year.
3 - There was at least 3 hits in this game that got the high pitch "oooh". This vid shows the pats needing 5 yards and getting 4.9 of them before that truck came thru
Tiga, Tiga, Tiga Woods yall. I'm not mad at my man for not wanting to speak to the cops. He's not obligated by law but I think he could have ended alot of speculation if he would've said:
"My wife said if we had some whip cream you could make a hole in one"
"I didn't realize what day it was and thought I would beat the crowd to black friday"
He went the other route and now TMZ is reporting (via phone calls to his "friend") that he and his wife got into it amid reports he had a sideline hottie, she scratched him up, as he was fleeing in his shorts and no shoes, she came at him with the golf club, smashed the back window, he was distracted and ran into various stationary obstacles. This sounds more accurate (to me anyway) than her acting heroically by smashing the window to save him. Just sayin.
Tiga also mentioned he would need to get a Kobe Special to this friend. Friend asked for clarification. Tiga said "house on the finger".
In WNBA news, Marion Jones will attempt to make a roster in 2010. Yea, its that bad.
I remember when I saw Tiger on the sidelines of a Colts game and I thought "that was unexpected". When they showed Prince watching the Vikings game from a luxury suite I was at a loss.
Bobby Bowden (legendary coach at Florida St.) retires at the age of 80 after being given the choice of retire or be the coach in a capacity that doesn't allow you to make any decisions on the field, just wear the head seat ,Florida St. gear, and be a "figurehead" (isn't that like asking him to be the mascot without the costume?). That's just dirty, altho I would take that gig in a second, but that's another story.
My question to the goalie...when you were released from the hospital, do you "accidentally" retaliate?
