1st Round, Seventh Overall: Patriots Saints Select Sedrick Ellis


The Patriots, wheeling and dealing? Next thing you know they'll be doing something shifty. Without waiting for the details, I am going to assume that they just took the Saints first round picks thru 2017 to allow them to move up five slots.

nba closer

Youth Prevails! (Except In San Antonio)

The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who spent most of last night scribbling CP3-4-Me all over his Trapper Keeper. When he's not man-loving on Chris Paul, he can be found practicing his Duncan face at Basketbawful. Enjoy!

The doctor is most definitely in. Chris Paul may not have graduated from college, but he has an honorary degree in MVPology. And last night, he gave Dirk Nowitzki a hands-on lesson in the subject. CP3 scored 32 points and had a franchise playoff-record 17 assists, and the New Orleans Hornets crushed the Dallas Mavericks as if they were the insects, 127-103. And lest anyone forget: This is the matchup Nowitzki wanted. Sucker.

Why Take A Home Game Away From The Saints?

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 »

Attention Oprah's Book Club: The New Reggie Bush Tell-All Is Here

Not in time for Christmas, darn it, but sure to make for cozy fireside reading nonetheless; the new Reggie Bush book, Don Yaeger's Tarnished Heisman, is here. Is this the Game of Shadows of college football? There's apparently enough evidence of financial impropriety involving Bush at USC to make that case (Adam Rose of the Los Angeles Times reviews the whole thing here). And like the Bonds steroids issue, none of it is totally unexpected. It now just depends on how far the NCAA and the BCS are willing to go with their own investigations; it's kind of sobering to realize that It all could end with Bush losing his Heisman, and USC forfeiting its national championship.

When The Saints Go Golfing

It's hard to imagine that less than 12 months ago these two teams were meeting for a chance to play in the Super Bowl. Seriously, they were. I looked it up! Devin Hester (The Jester Molester) returned a 64 yard punt, Neckbeard Orton threw the ball like he was throwing back girly cocktails, and just like that the Saints are out of the p-offs. Next! Bears 33, Saints 25 More »

Tonight's Episode Of The Vick Bowl

Under normal circumstances, this would be what we'd call a "dull" Monday Night Football game, the Saints at the Falcons. In the wake of the Ron Mexico business today, it is upgraded/downgraded to "insufferable." More »

The Reggies Are Running Rampant In New Orleans

Okay, which one of you smart-alecks told me that the Jaguars had a good defense? Because then I went and told everybody, including my local priest, and now I just look foolish. Most of the touchdowns were scored by one of many Reggies (Bush has two for the Saints, and Williams caught an 80-yard pass for the Jaguars). Maurice Jones-Drew also has a kickoff-return-for-touchdown. Saints 24, Jaguars 17 More »

That'll Be All For The Saints

When our heart bleeds today, it bleeds for Balk: The Saints, after their brief moment of excitement and inspiration, appear to suck again. It was fun while it lasted. More »

MNF Heads Back To New Orleans

We suspect that tonight's "Monday Night Football" telecast from the Superdome will have the electricity and emotion of last year's MNF game, if just because we don't think Bono's gonna make the trip this year. (However: "Cowboy Mouth" will be in the house!_ More »

Man, The Colts Are Pretty Good

In case you had any question about it, the man in the white jersey is Jason David, former cornerback for the Indianapolis Colts, now corner for the Saints. He went against his old team last night. That shot of him, chasing somebody who has streaked past him? There are a lot of those. More »

No More Waiting Around; The NFL Is Back


You want to know how long it's been since there was some damned NFL football? The last time a game counted, we glogged it. It seems like decades ago. And now, with your last chance for sign up for the Pick 'Em Pool, we welcome an actual live season. More »

It's The NFC South Pants Party


To the NFC South! We don't want to speak out of turn here, but we think the NFC South might be our least favorite division in football. There's the Saints — that's Kenny Chesney in that picture, of course — and then ... ugh. More »

nfl season preview

NFL Season Preview: New Orleans Saints

Believe it or not, folks, the NFL season is much closer than you can possibly imagine. So close, in fact, that, if we're going to fit in every NFL team preview by the start of the season, we have to go this early. So there you have it.

Last year, we asked some of our favorite writers to opine why Their Favorite Team Was Better Than Yours. Ultimately, we found this constrictive, and it also might have killed James Frey. So this time, we've just asked them to just run free, talk about their team, their experience as a fan, their hopes, their dreams, their desires for oral sex. All our teams are now assigned; if you sent us an email and we didn't get back to you, we're sorry, and we accept your scorn. But today: New Orleans Saints.

Your author is Alex Balk, editor of Gawker.com. His words are after the jump.

Taking The New Orleans Out Of New Orleans

Like many people, we found ourselves rooting for the Saints last year, even though we became a little exhausted with the repeated meme that, somehow, a football team's success was going to make it more likely that people would, you know, have homes. But you'd think, in the wake of last year, the Saints' main selling point would be their hometown. Nope. More »

David Beckham Is Trying Rather Hard To Make It Clear He's Tough

In a promotional photo shoot with Reggie Bush and the New Orleans Saints, David Beckham definitively illustrates, once and for all, the differences between football players and soccer players.

If that's not enough, try this one, after the jump:

Reggie Bush To See Fewer Boobs In 2007

If you've already heard about it you're probably still reeling; as for us, it's going to take some time to get over the news that Reggie Bush has been banned from the Playboy Mansion. Why, you ask? The source says only that the ban was "non-Playmate related." More »

Yahoo! Still Trying To Catch Reggie Bush

If it's a Thursday, that must mean it's time for another Yahoo !Sports investigation into gifts Reggie Bush might have received at USC. (We don't mean to make light of the hard work Yahoo! has put into its exhaustive investigation, but we repeat that it's hard to take an investigation all that seriously when the journalistic institution in question requires an exclamation point at the end of its name.)

SICK Is A Nice Word For What Bears Fans Are (Yeah!)

As we mentioned on Monday, we were kind of surprised that the little arts & crafts project to the right here was allowed to be displayed during the Saints-Bears game on Sunday; not that we sat up that night fretting about it, but come on. That's a little classless, if you're into the "class" thing, even for Soldier Field. And apparently Keith Olbermann agrees, presenting the sign with the silver in his Worst Person in the World segment on Tuesday's installment of MSNBC Countdown. More »
