In Saints v. Broncos game: Brandon Stokley announced his school affiliation as Louisiana-Lafayette. Cajuns can't like that too much!
Stokley, no there's an honest man if I ever saw one!!!
Well, after that Denver showing, that should put to rest any lingering hope of the playoffs for this season. Cue Jim Mora: "Playoffs!?"
Look on the bright side, at least we resigned Drew Brees!
Worst defense in NFL history! Now, there's something you can tell your grandkids about some day...
Yeh, we are bad, but how bad is the Eagles playcalling? Give up 7 sacks to the Saints? Empty backfield every time? Hey guys, the book is out, Vick cant do hot routes because he doesnt know how to audible. You either need to get someone who can or call plays that protect from (use max protection every now and then). Plus, Vick has lost a step, but the Saints were draped all over him last night.
Payton’s contract might not be resolved quickly

Getty ImagesGiven that the Saints have permission to finalize their contract extension with coach Sean Payton now and that no other team can talk to him until his suspension ends after the Super Bowl, Payton’s current employer has a huge advantage when it comes to the question of continuing his employment.
But that doesn’t mean they’ll wrap things up quickly.
Ed Werder of ESPN reports that G.M. Mickey Loomis, whose suspension ended the moment the final gun sounded to cap Monday night’s win over the Eagles, won’t rush to get the deal done.
In theory, the approach makes sense. If the Saints are too anxious to get a deal done, Payton gets more leverage — and in turn more money. That said, Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com has reported that owner Tom Benson already plans to make Payton the highest-paid coach in the NFL.
If Loomis waits too long to iron things out, and if Payton inches closer to the open market, there could be a point where Payton decides to let the market determine his value. As we’ve previously explained, the fact that another team can’t even talk to Payton until February will make it much more difficult (and risky) for a team like the Cowboys or Eagles to wait for a crack at Payton.

Doesn't the buck for the Bounty Gate stop with Peyton? So, if he really wanted to do the right thing, he would just ask Benson "where do you need me to sign?"
Good old Memorial Gym
If the cowboys keep being the cowboys, I would guess this is the year for Payton to land his dream job...
