Uh, yeah. If you’re a Saints fan, stop reading. I mean, you can keep reading, but you’re not going to like what you hear. The truth is, Mardi Gras is not on it’s way. Not for the Saints. Plain and simple: they just aren’t what they’re cracked up to be. Yes, their 13-0 run was [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 18th): Mark Sanchez likely to return this week, Calvin Johnson back at practice, Devin Hester likely out this week, and more
Mark Sanchez Looks to Start Week 15 He missed last week and showed New York and the rest of the football world that, despite being a rookie and making some mistakes this year, he’s still a much better player than the veteran Kellen Clemens.

Matt Gentile’s Week 15 NFL Power Rankings
1. New Orleans Saints (13-0) They pulled the baby out of the fire the last two weeks, but New Orleans is doing the right thing by keeping their starters in the rest of the way and trying for 16-0. 2.

Is The Quest For Perfection In The NFL Worth The Risk?
Let’s be honest. This whole “going undefeated” thing just doesn’t happen in the NFL. Save for the 2007 New England Patriots, it’s only happened one other time in the entire history of the league, and we can only count two times that we’ve seen a team reach the Super Bowl without a loss in the [...]

Kevin Roberts’ Week 15 NFL Power Rankings
The story of the 2009 season continues to be about the two undefeated teams, and whether or not they will strive for perfection.

NFL Week 14 Preview: Five Things to Watch For
We were once again thwarted by the Colts, as they took care of business against Tennessee. Ironically enough, the Saints were the team who struggled, and against a previously 3-8 Washington Redskins team, no less.
