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 Sai...

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....

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."...

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 serio...

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, ...

Dispatches from blogdome's front lines following the NFC Championship game ......

Rex Grossman, Like Jim McMahon, But Without The Sunglasses And Headband
We don't mean to imply that Bears fans can get a little crazy in their devotion to their team — they can, but they're usually not mean about it — but this sign, seen at Soldier Field yesterday, seems a bit much. We're amazed this actually stayed up, we really are....

Saints vs. Bears, NFC Championship Game: 4th Quarter
- The Bears lead by 4, and Rex Grossman seems to have his balls back for the moment. To start the 4th quarter, the Bears have a 1st and 10 from the Saints 45....

Saints vs. Bears, NFC Championship Game: 3rd Quarter
- The Bears will have the ball to start the second half... Grossman drops back on first down, and picks up 17 yards to Berrian. Nice job by Berrian to go up and get it, and maybe the Bears will unshackle and let Rex be Rex from here on out. I don't know if it would be good for the Bears or not, but ...

Saints vs. Bears, NFC Championship Game: 2nd Quarter
- So, the Saints fumbled three times in the first quarter, and lost two of them. I don't know if you want to blame nerves, cold weather, Drew Brees' lack of gloves, Sean Payton's Illinois upbringing, or George Bush's lack of care for black people... but they should probably get it figured out pretty...

Saints vs. Bears, NFC Championship Game: 1st Quarter
- A fellow named Chris Daughtry is singing the national anthem right now. I don't know who he is, but he's wearing a Bears scarf, and he looks like a white Hootie....

NFC Championship Pants Party: Bears Vs. Saints
We're not sure what more we can say about any of these games, except to say that Rex Grossman vs. Drew Brees is certainly the marquee quarterback matchup of Sunday, without question....

You Fought The Law, And The Saints Won
If you're wondering whether or not those in the New Orleans area are as fired up for this Sunday's NFC Championship Game as the typically terrifying Bears fans are, here's a little proof for you: In a current court case involving Fay Thibodeaux Danos against Avondale Industries, they're actually pos...

And You Thought Grossman Was The One Looking Forward To New Years
With all the drunk quarterback pictures floating around these days, of Rex Grossman and Ben Roethlisberger and Kyle Orton, we thought it wasn't quite fair that Drew Brees remained so free and beloved by everyone other than his mother....

The Eye Of The Crazy Frizzy-Haired Saint
As if Eagles fans hadn't suffered enough after their loss to the Saints on Saturday — we think they're taking it hard, too; we still haven't talked to Daulerio — there's this video, which features a rather inspired Saints fan taking it to Eagles boosters outside the Superdome. Mocking them openly is...

New Orleans Once Step Closer To Healing. Really.
In case you're confused by the smattering of women in this photo, the one that's crinkled, not sparkly and wearing pants is Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco. She's shown here hanging out with the Saints cheerleaders after their thrilling 27-24 win over the Eagles on Saturday, leaving them one game...

Eagles vs. Saints, 4th Quarter
- Yes, since you asked, that is Brian Westbrook and a horse....

Eagles vs. Saints, 3rd Quarter
- Hey, highlights of the Punt, Pass, and Kick Finals... I think the same damn kids have been winning this thing for like 12 years. Future gym teachers, all of them....

Eagles vs. Saints, 2nd Quarter
