Alex-

It's okay just go wear your pink No. 25 Reggie Bush jersey to Chicago again in the cold this year. Mr Urlacher will remind reggie bush who feels pain, and who get knocked out for taunting.

Come on! A real Saints fan tempers his/her optimism. We hope for the best, but in the back of our mind, we know that everything is going to fall apart--the receivers will drop balls all year, Deuce McAllister will get caught in a drug ring, Drew Brees's arm will fly off one game, and Reggie Bush will fall down Springfield's Mystery Spot.

But yeah, we're winning the Super Bowl this year.

And does anyone doubt Reggie Bush will only get better?

You're welcome!

@Balk: Please. This is not a proper time in the building of the comedy pyramid for a wide stance joke.

Conspicuously absent from this preview: The Saints' defense SUCKS.

It's too bad Marques Colston's not a tight end anymore.

hehe - your account says "banned since May 2, 2007". Will must have been really pissed off that day.

Oh, come on, not one "wide stance" joke YET? You people are losing your touch.

I saw this preview at the Time Warner Center Williams Sonoma, it was talking on its iPhone (!) and looking really cute

First they drafted Bush last year, this year they draft Jermon Bushrod. Who are they going to draft next year? Michael Bushclit?

@Tuffy:

Any effort to make this thread into the "Foxy Brown" of Deadspin is wholeheartedly encouraged.

Alex Balk dusts the bobblehead of Reggie Bush on his desk on every Thursday as part of a pre-weekend cleansing ritual.

Then he screws like 5 guys.

I'm confused. Isn't the city of New Orleans still a giant, sodden bowl of disaster that shows no signs of imminent repair?

Does this mean Will has to write a VMAs preview for Gawker?

Nah, we don't want Will over on Gawker, fagging up the joint any further.

I remember from the Takeover how Balk and his friends talk about us (sports fans) like we're Gorillas in the Mist, just some species to be observed. I'm glad we've got that aura of condecension returning to Deadspin.

I could continue, but I'll just put it this way-- I wish Whitney Pastorek was a Saints fan. Then I'd get a good preview of my team.

Funny, Balk ... I visited Gawker today, just for kicks, and I was reminded of how the commentariat tormented you mercilessly. It's so strange to see you back here.

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.

Ummm, we might wanna rethink that sentence for this one.

Will,

Please, oh please don't make another bet with Balk. I know its tempting and makes for great internet, but please lay off temptation to make a bet on the Saints - Cards game. I don't think I can stomach another day of Real Life vs Reel Life: The Truth About The Devils Wears Prada and What two beard Editors of rival magazines are secretely sleeping with each other.
