Has Saints QB Drew Brees really escaped the Madden Curse?

Has New Orleans QB Drew Brees survived the Madden Curse of 2010? I am not a video game guy, but there seems to be a series of events which have surrounded every player which has been been featured on the cover of the Madden football video game. This is…

Matt Cassel Is Key To Chiefs Beating Rams

  Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel, a mere week after having his appendix removed, is making news as he is back practicing and preparing for Sunday’s game in St. Louis. For Chiefs fans, that’s music to their ears. This past Sunday in San Diego, backup Brodie Croyle was battered and beaten by a rabid Chargers defense. The offense, lacking Cassel’s leadership, [...]

Saints blow past Rams, 31-13

It wasn’t the blowout that the final score indicated, but the Saints (10-3) used a big first quarter and stingy red zone defense to defeat the St. Louis Rams (6-7) by the score of 31-13 in the Superdome on Sunday. Saints quarterback Drew Brees and star receiver Marques Colston got off to a fast start, [...]

Saints survive mistakes, outlast Bengals

Despite racking up more than 100 yards in penalty yards in their Sunday matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, one Bengals miscue in the last minute of the game gave the Saints a win in Cincinnati. With the Bengals holding a three-point lead, Drew Brees and the Saints offense lined up on offense on fourth and [...]

Commentary: Do the NFL schedule-makers have a vendetta against the Saints?

Before the 2010 NFL season had even begun, most NFL fans and pundits knew that the biggest threat to the New Orleans Saints attempt to repeat as Super Bowl champions would be the Atlanta Falcons.

Saints Drew Brees, SI Sportsman of the Year

Sports Illustrated has announced that their Sportsman of the Year is New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees. This was a very solid choice for the magazine in my estimation. Drew Brees took the New Orleans Saints to the first ever Super Bowl and won a champio…

Saints’ Bush struggles in return

In all of the hoopla of the Saints’ game against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, the return of offensive dynamo Reggie Bush was one of the reasons many of the NFL’s pundits were predicting a Saints victory. And even though he returned, and played sparingly against the Cowboys, the Saints were able to win in [...]

Brees awarded FOX’s ‘Galloping Gobbler’ award

As if rolling into Dallas on Thanksgiving Day wasn’t enough, the Saints win on Thursday earned Saints quarterback Drew Brees another piece of hardware to put on his mantle. Every year that there is a Thanksgiving Day football game on FOX, the broadcast company gives an award to the MVP of the day’s game. The [...]

Saints squeak past ‘Boys in Thanksgiving thriller

It is a Thanksgiving that Saints fans won’t quickly forget. The team made their presence felt during their first ever appearance on a Thanksgiving game by defeating the Dallas Cowboys 30-27 in Texas as the second of the three Thanksgiving day games. The Saints marched out to a 17-0 lead midway through the first quarter [...]

Cowboys Saints Thanksgiving Week 12 Preview

On one hand, this week’s Thanksgiving matchup between the Cowboys and Saints is nothing like last year’s meeting between the two teams. On the other hand, it’s eerily similar. Allow me to elaborate.
