I looked at the TV and the Lions were up 17 and the Saints were down 14. The Defense was giving up yards like it was halloween and they wanted to get back inside with the lights out to watch TV. Now... I have been a Saints fan since the 80s, so I have some history of my favorite team and I would like to think I know them as well as anyone else so some of you older fans know exactly what I am about to talk about. Down 14... FEAR! No way the Saints can come back for the 3rd week in a row and do this.. the bubble has to break and this is it... Hell, we used to get the FEAR when we were up 14 so thats 28 point difference we are DOOOOOOMED. But then something happened to me, I realized something. I got on the phone with a good friend whose Lions were up 17 points and he asked me if I was nervous. It hit me... I was NOT nervous. I was still smiling. I was getting up to grab a beer no to wash down my sorrow but to celebrate the upcoming victory. There was no FEAR. There was no more sitting there wondering when they were going to kick me in the balls this season. There was no more waiting for the other shoe to drop. This was it. We have a real honest actual football team this year. I have been saying all the right things all season just like every other fan but deep inside I think I still harboured that little piece of FEAR. No more! This is a whole new feeling but I think I am going to enjoy the games just a tad bit more then ever before. Something happened to me during this game… it was a strange feeling.

How about the rest of the list with their credits or recognition due?

Devery = Jack Hunt, that one's easy if you're an :thehat: guy Fujita = Scotty Badass, also easy Meachem = Pontchartrain Meach, a wistful shout out to the coolest place for a SELA kid to be back in the 70s Recently, Lance Moore = Bob Snagit and Marques Colston = Hands Christian Andersen, because of Lance's nonthreatening face but shockingly vulgar comedy stylings, and Colston's penning of classic children's stories I'm CHOMPING (not "champing" because I have no idea what that means) at the bit for a dominating rushing performance out of the I formation, just biding my time until I can drop "Eckel and the Runnymen" on ya. @ASaint: The only ones moosedenied takes credit for are…

I've been around for a while and know most of them, but I'm sure a lot of people, including myself would benefit from a detailed breakdown of name and reason. Could you post a roster of nicknames?

Each team goes thru a funk. Look at the Giants, lost 4 in a row. Denver lost 2 in a row. I bet you that old Saints team would have probably lost the last 3 games, and maybe, just maybe this is the funk the Saints are going thru, so instead of looking at the negative, let us be happy that they have found a way to win. You learn more from being down, 7, 14 or 21 points and having to fight back to win, then blowing out teams by 20+ points. Lets just pray for no more injuries and that the ones who are injured hurry back, so we can keep kicking the rest of the NFL ASSES!!! WHO DAT NATION!!!
