Saints' Streak (Winning, not Mardi Gras)

If this is a CA sports blog, why the heck are the Saints being written about? Some of you may not give a damn about the New Orleans Saints –but mind you, Reggie Bush, who you may or may not like, is from the great San Diego. And if that isn’t substantial, do remember that the Big Easy bred JaMarcus Russell (who you may also like or dislike), the Oakland Raider’s #1 draft pick, aka the guy who’s making mad money in the millions while not playing this year, aka the guy to watch out for once he really does get on the field. On and on, this can go, about the many different reasons why New Orleans is relevant. In the end, I was born there, and Mr. KC himself gave me the opportunity to tell you that….the Saints are back!

Here’s the overview of the Saints season. They lost their first 4 games. They’ve won their last 4. Sweet victorious season, can we smell wildcard success? Well, next week, the Saints play the Rams (0-8), and if by chance we lose, I will go jump off the Berkeley Campanile, because dammit, that’s just not right to lose to a winless team. (But I wish St. Louis the best, and I sure do hope they win games sometime soon)

All the rants aside, I feel it time to applaud the man who is finally stepping his game up. He is the face of the Saints, after Reggie. He is the leader of the team. He is the quarterback with the biggest booty in the NFL.

Yes guys, I’m talking about Drew Brees.

I’m not going to go over the specifics of how he wasn’t performing this first half of the season, and I’m not going to go over his stats for the last 4 games. Go to nfl.com for that. All I know is that I am placing more hope in the Breesy than I have in Bibby (of the Sacramento Kings) for basketball. So I hope by the end of the season I don’t walk away disappointed as I usually do. And in the midst of an interesting season, I pray to the Breesy, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE, be consistent!

I just wonder…how the hell do quarterbacks get on the field so ready to take the responsibility for the team? How do they handle the pressure? What are they saying to themselves these days, as motivation to just to keep going?

Hypothetically, I think this:

Alex Smith
(on his health): “God, I’m not 100%, but I’m still gonna play!”
(on his popularity): “Why don’t people like me? I mean, I’m a really smart guy too! Oh well, I’m smarter than everyone else on the field, AND I’ve got law schools to fall back on. So if I can’t play with them, I’m gonna sue them!”

Donovan McNabb
(on the lady’s shirt, and basically what everyone says)


“Bitches”
And like Alex Smith, “Why don’t people like me?”
(Don’t worry McNabb, I love you! And ohh….does this lady look like the grown Marsha Brady? Gone crazy?)

Michael Vick
(on everything): “Damn.”

Tom Brady
(on being a deadbeat dad): “Whoever said, “A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man,” never had the millions I have.”
(TOM BRADY, you are a bitch!)

Ben Roethlisberger
“Gotta make it to the Superbowl before something bad happens again!

Drew Brees
(on what he’s chanting when he has the ball): “Cotton candy, tootsie roll, get Saints to the Superbowl!”


Ok, who said this blog was going to be relevant? I just wanted to show some Saints spirit! Because even though most Californians don't care, I do! GO DREW BREESY!!!
