Anthony Thomas makes his triumphant return to the Superdome Friday night as the Fightin’ Dick Jaurons leave balmy, 81-degree Rochester for 141-degree New Orleans for sixty minutes of pushing and shoving against our Saints.

You may remember A-Train blowing the roof off the Dome back in 2005 to the tune of 43 carries for 92 yards. Good times. Against who, you ask? Well, uh, the league. Were you thinking that was just one super-inefficient single-game performance? Yeah, no. See, that was the whole season. Like I said, good times.

Aaron Brooks, Todd Bouman, Anto-wayne Smith, Nate Poole, Nate Lawrie, Shad Meier, Jonathan Sullivan, Colby Bockwoldt, Fred Booker. Sideeq Shabazz!!! How in the blue hell did the Saints not win it all that year?

Don’t answer that. more…
