Just How Far Can the Saints Go in 2009?

Look… I’ve been a Saints fan all my life. I’ve begun every season with high hopes, and I’ve had my dreams crushed in just about every year (usually by the midway point of the season). That’s just the life of a Saints fan. Let’s be honest… the Saints went 20 years before getting their first [...]

Scott Jabs at His Former Team; Says Rex Ryan Ran the Ravens

Owens Out Again; Bills Big Weapon to Sit vs Steelers Saturday

The biggest weapon that the Bills have is again going to sit the sideline, as Terrell Owens has been ruled out of Saturday’s preseason game at Pittsburgh with his sprained toe. Owens will now have missed three straight preseason games, and hasn’t taken the field since August 9th. T.O. suffered the injury in the teams [...]

Ravens Rock Early; Hold On for 24-23 Preseason Win Over Jets

It was homecoming night for former assistant Rex Ryan. The Jumbo Tron had a Rex Ryan video tribute prepared before last night’s game in his honor and then his old defense quickly went to work on his new team. There was no question that this game had a little more intensity to it than your [...]
