When it came to the Saints getting throttled by the Titans in the final preseason game of the year the other night, here's what one guy wrote: More »

The NFL announced yesterday that next year's Wembley Stadium in London game will be between the New Orleans Saints and the San Diego Chargers. This makes sense — perhaps we'll get a Reggie Bush giant robot — but we don't quite understand: Why are the Saints the home team? More »

If you still haven't gotten that icky racist-LSU-fans taste out of your mouth after reading that story earlier today, here's a New Orleans story that might cheer you up: In April, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Vagina Monologues, they're turning the entrance to the Superdome into a giant vagina.

Like most of you who decided that NFL Sunday Ticket isn't quite valuable enough to make up for the utter uselessness of DirectTV, we spent yesterday at a sports bar, looking past the impromptu games of beer pong to watch hundreds of television screens full of football. And we saw what we're sure you saw: Everyone's rooting for the Saints. We anticipated this somewhat, though it still kind of weirds us out that there's still a team called the "New Orleans Saints," like in October 2001 we would have had the World Trade Center Wildcats or something. It was just strange to see FOX break-in highlights from the Panthers-Saints game punctuated with subtle apologies for bad news; "The Panthers scored a touchdown to tie the game, but before that, Saints cornerback Mike McKenzie trotted off the field without tripping. Good for him. Good for New Orleans!" We also have a feeling the real excitement from football fans about the Saints is from the ones who have Deuce McAllister on their fantasy teams, but that's neither here nor there. More »

Currently, the New Orleans Saints — we have to keep reminding ourselves that New Orleans had a football team, and that they still exist right now — are denying CNN's reports that the Superdome will have to be torn down, but whether CNN is right or not, the team still needs someplace to play right now. The Saints' first "home" game will be played against the Giants at Giants Stadium; after that, it appears the team will split time between Baton Rouge and San Antonio. More »

We live in New York City, which inexplicably does not carry the NFL Network — write your Congressmen! — so we missed a pretty huge faux pas from the league. Fortunately, those intrepid souls at Football Outsiders watched it for us. More »

It's beginning to turn crazy and chaotic outside the Superdome; people are actually shooting at the rescue helicopters, which is totally counterproductive. They're trying to get the refugees out of there so they can ship them to the Reliant Astrodome — to remind you, Reliant sponsors a dead dome — because apparently they're just in the mindset that domes are the only place on earth that can house thousands of people for months. (As opposed to, say, people's homes, or hotels. But hey, a lot of these people are black.) More »

As New Orleans seemingly turns into more of a swamp by the day, it is beginning to occur to sports people that New Orleans has a football team, and that team is going to need somewhere to play. The Saints' home opener was scheduled for September 18, but not only won't be able to play in the Superdome, they probably won't even be able to get back in town. And they likely wouldn't want to.

A look at the Superdome from the inside up. Those who were in the Dome during the hurricane say the bathrooms were overrun with trash and the heat was "unbearable." Which makes it pretty much like every football Sunday, actually. More »

This is the home of the New Orleans Saints, first game September 18 against the New York Giants. In other words, we hope the fine folks at Tulane have some free space that Sunday. More »

As Hurricane Katrina blasts the 10,000-or-so people taking refuge in the New Orleans Superdome — which, as terrifying as this all is, you have to admit, is probably more people than have been in the Superdome at once since, well, since ever — we hope for the safety of those in the New Orleans, Mobile, Ala., and Biloxi, Miss. areas. Particularly now, that reports say the roof of the Superdome has been compromised, which, considering the building is more than 30 years old, probably shouldn't be that much of a surprise. More »
