Remember when you were a little kid and you would always ask to go to McDonald's with your mother, or for a new toy, or to be allowed to stay up an extra half hour to watch your favorite show. Even in your youth, you knew deep down eating at McDonald's, having a new toy, or watching your favorite show weren't really going to make you any happier than you already ...

The reality is that in 2010 the New Orleans Saints were not in the market for a top-10 level draft talent. And I don't know how many times I havet to say it, but I'll say it again, that's a good thing! That being said, I thought the Saints did a great job of targeting certain players in each round of the draft that they thought could help the team this ...

You could say this is a response, or addition, to my needs column. You could also say this is just a necessary article, considering the fact I am both a Saints FC, and college scout (well an unpaid one but I still am one). Truth be told, it is both. When I say ideal, I mean that in a perfect world the Saints would get these players in that particular round, without having to ...

By now, at least some of the aftermath of the Saints' championship has to be wearing off...okay, I know that's nowhere near true. Nevertheless, it is time for the team to focus on the draft. I hope the Saints aren't just starting their preparations, but I do understand if they are behind. Mickey Loomis and his staff of hundreds—probably not, but it sounds better than tens —have been watching film, reading player ...

Perhaps the photo that accompanies this article, with Drew Brees lying on the ground with DeMarcus Ware the one on top is symoblic. Maybe the Cowboys are rising up and the Saints are falling down. Maybe this isn't even the best image, or the one that Saints fans will remember this game by. Maybe it's Tony Romo scrambling and throwing to a seemingly wide open Miles Austin for every big conversion. Maybe ...

We're now hours from kickoff. The more I think about it the more it seems Pierre Thomas should beáa star Saturday night. The main reason is that he normally plays very well in primetime games. More relevant, though, is the fact the Cowboys defense is set up almost perfectly for Pierre to explode. They play a 3-4 with their outside backers generally playing on the L.O.S., similar to what Miami does, which ...

In recent weeks, Sean Payton has been receiving many accolades from the national media, and gaining steam as a potential Coach of the Yearácandidate (which would be his second such award in four years). No doubt, he is among the best in the game as an offensive play-designer and play-caller. He is known as being a good motivator and communicator. And this season he has greatly improved his ability to manage ...

In 2008, Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints' quarterback, led the NFL in passing yards by a wide margin. More incredible is that he became only the second player in the leagueÆs storied history to pass for more than 5,000 yards. á Most football fans know he fell just 15 yards short of Dan MarinoÆs previous record of 5,084 yards. á It is because of Brees' incredible 5,069 yard season that Warner Bros decided to ...

As I explained yesterday, there really is no excuse for the Saints defense to give up any points in this game. In much the same way, there is no excuse for the Saints offense to not score on every possession. It isn't that the Rams are not talented, and it's not that they have a poor scheme. Instead, there seems to be a lack of cohesion among the group. And that is ...

It's seemingly a fair statement to make that the New Orleans Saints should be 9-0 after this weekend's game. I say this mainly because the Saints are still playing good enough football to beat anyone. Even if they weren't though, this would probably be the game that could potentially get them out of a funk. Honestly, St. Louis is just plain not very good offensively. They rely on one guy. That ...
