Assuming that the Saints are able to field a team Sunday, they’ll be back home in the Dome to take on the 49ers. In the meantime, the Saints’ very own DHARMA pit continues to fill with the bodies of the purged. Where’s Taller Ghost Walt when you need him?

Memo to Coach: Stop fucking with Ben.

The good news is that Terrance Copper may be available to re-assume his role as the Saints’ emergency quarterback, which will enable Sean Payton to insert Joey Harrington into his intended role… short-yardage tailback.

But you’ll be happy to know that Coach Payton has finally decided that Dulymus is 100% totally "ready" for some real live game action, and Payton has been allowing Dulymus to take some short-yardage snaps of his own in practice this week.

At left guard.

If there’s a silver lining to Poochie’s injury and Nesbit’s ill-advised decision to bum some athsma meds from Hollis, it’s that maybe (just maybe) we’ll get a temporary break from the bizarre weekly Billy Miller/Buck Ortega/Matt Lehr roster carousel clusterfuck.

On the other hand, that’s been working so well so far, maybe they’ll go out and sign Jeff George instead. Can’t be too careful, Terrance Copper might tweak something.

And as I type this, there goes our short-yardage back. The Saints released Harrington and signed that dude who created The Shield.

Say, what was your favorite moment of the Joey Harrington Era?

Oh, never fear, Saints fans. Joey won’t be gone long. Couple of days at most. They’re probably faxing the "Buck Ortega to the practice squad" paperwork to the league office right this minute.

Seriously, can you recall any other time when this organization was this preoccupied with pointless, insignificant roster moves?

Strange days indeed. Most peculiar, mama. Roll.

Oh sure, blame the injuries if that will help to keep your head from exploding. After all, bringing in Harrington for one week just in case both of our quarterbacks got hurt in Denver and we couldn’t find a non-Copper wide receiver to go under center made perfect sense. Right? RIGHT?

And hey, at least Jason David and Marteen Gramatica seem to be enjoying a metric assload of job security. So we’ve got that going for us. Or something. High five!

EARN IT. Indeed.

The shame of it all is that what this team really needs is a second punter. Preferably, one who’s willing to stash his bling for a few hours for the good of the team. Way to fuck up Marteen’s mojo, Steve.

All I know is that none of this is Aaron Brooks’ fault. Or is it?
