Playoff Pants Party: Saints Vs. Eagles

Jim Mora Jr. Might Still Be The Coach, And Michael Vick Might Still Be The Quarterback
The NFL Network is the broadcast home of tonight's Cowboys vs. Falcons game, which means, of course, that many of you can't see it. Which makes this open thread even more important ... it might just be the best live coverage of the game that you can get....

One Perfect Night In New Orleans. Let's Try To Make Sure There Are More
It's difficult to find much to make fun of from last night in New Orleans, a kinda shocking 23-3 Saints victory over the Falcons, except for maybe this lady's sign, which we've been looking at all morning with little more than the foggiest idea of what she's trying to say.

Welcome Back To New Orleans
It is somewhat of a relief, as viewed in the Spike Lee's amazing When The Levees Broke — still available on HBO On Demand, still highly recommended, if you have 4 1/2 hours to kill — to learn that as horrible as the circumstances were in the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina last year, they weren...

They're all over the p...

Reggie Bush Finally Gives In To Fans With Lame Signs
It seems like Reggie Bush's holdout garnered a lot of attention for a something that ended up lasting a grand total of two days. Many of you had more contentious negotations while trying to get laid this weekend. And as soon as he scores his first touchdown, no one's even going to remember that ther...

Because Of Winn-Dixie

A heads-up tipster sent in this picture of a sign posted in front of the Chargers' practice and main office. You'll note that the spelling is a little off, but I think the individual (hopefully child) has his/her heart in the right place. Regardless, it might not be a bad idea for the Chargers to ...
