Confession: I came dangerously close to titling this post: “I can feel it coming in Pierre tonight, oh Lord.”

How wrong would that have been? I’d have had to punch my own self in the groin. There are just some things that you shouldn’t say in public, and bad puns off Phil Collins references have to be right near the very top of that list.

At any rate, last night those of us who are not only Saints fans but also shameless HOMERS(!!!!) got to enjoy a nice heaping plate of Triple Happiness.

We’ll go with Ryan Perrilloux not doing anything last night to get himself kicked off the team. Yeah. (At least nothing that’s being reported yet.)

It was a good night to be a fan of the two Louisiana-based football teams that count. That is, unless you’re one of those perpetually-miserable assholes who call themselves “realists.” Actually, those guys are happy too this Friday afternoon… they’re happy because they got themselves a triple dose of shit to bitch and moan about: the impending release of Pierre Thomas, the implosion of Olindo Mare and… um… uh… well, I guess there’s always Les Miles. more…
