Tom has rightfully reprimanded me for not mentioning the 2-0 start of the New Orleans Saints. And this ain’t no soft 2-0 — an OT road win over hated Tampa Bay and a 35-20 win over Super Bowl contendahs Green Bay. (That victory was particularly sweet, since it meant Packerhead Kelly lost a bet and now owes me the CD of my choice.)
Perhaps best of all, the Saints have turned into a hella fun team — sort of like the pass-happy, big play bunch the Rams were a couple years ago. Deuce McAllister’s always breaking big runs (like a 50-yarder and a 62-yarder last week), the receivers are downfield burners, and Aaron Brooks is looking sharp. Not the old grind-it-out offense they ran last year.
They play a tough Bears team next week, but they could pull it out. Who day say dey gonna beat dem Saints? Who dat? Who dat?
