Loaded up and truckin’,
We’re gonna do what they say can’t be done.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I’m east bound, just watch ol’ Reggie run.

Keep your foot hard on the pedal, son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out ’cause we got a run to make.

All aboard the Groovy Train, bitches! We’re takin’ this convoy all the way to Glendale! Which… um… actually is westbound. Unless the origin is Seattle. But it’s not. So it’s not really…. aw fuck it, who wants pie?!?

Oh sure, it was far from perfect. Jammal Brown is still Mr. Presnap Penalty Pants. TJ Douchemanzadeh looks like he’d still fit right in with the LSU wideouts. There were times when you wondered if it would matter if they let the Saints play 15 DBs.

But you know what? Screw all that. You’ve gotta start somewhere, and while perhaps next year the Saints ought to think about starting in week one, for now, we’ll take what we can get. Is it the start of something big? Or just a temporary respite from the crapfest? I’d answer that, but if this year has taught me nothing else (and it hasn’t) it’s at least driven home that I have absolutely no clue what the hell is going on.
