Bell to Visit Flappy Birds (aka Eagles)
Restricted free agent Mike Bell will visit the Eagles on Tuesday.
Birds beat writer Jeff McLane reported last week that Bell was "unlikely" to land in Philly, so the team may only make a minimum salary-level offer during the visit. Bell would be a short-yardage specialist with the Eagles.

New Orleans Saints restricted free agent defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove visiting the Detroit Lions | - NOLA.com
New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove, a restricted free agent, will visit the Detroit Lions tonight and Tuesday, according to a league source.
The Saints would have the right to match any offer Hargrove might sign with another team. Or if they chose not to match an offer, they would receive a third-round draft pick as compensation -- Hargrove's original draft round.

Mike Florio Bashes Reggie Bush
by Saintsational on Mar 14, 2010 1:12 PM CDT

Came across this article yesterday from our friend Mike Florio at Pro Football Talk. If you haven't read it yet, do so now. It's short and won't take but a minute. In it, Florio reacts to Mickey Loomis' statement that the Saints would be keeping Reggie Bush at his current salary in 2010.
Honestly, I really think Florio's main purpose with this article was to point out the possibility of a bad management decision on the part of the Saints front office. But whether it was intended or not, it comes off more as a hidden-agenda attack on Bush's ability and production. I'm only now getting a chance to comment on it because I wasn't really sure what to make of it. Like a deer in headlights, I was frozen. Here are a few bits and pieces that I am choosing to nitpick:
It is, in our view, a move that has more to do with business and less to do with football. It can't be about football, because Bush doesn't bring $8 million worth of football value to the table.
Can value really be defined? Reggie, like a rare coin to a numismatist or a mahogany floral carved Victorian chest to Leslie Keno, is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for him. If the Saints are willing to give him $8 million, than that's how much the team values Reggie. I'm not so sure it's really up to Florio to determine any players value, let alone Reggie's in Sean Payton's offense.
No, this is about maintaining the Bayou post-Super Bowl buzz, about selling jerseys, about keeping the fans from engaging in an all-out revolt.
Have you ever even met a Saints fan, Mike? World War III breaking out during Woodstock was more likely than Saints fans putting together any kind of revolt after finally watching their team win the Super Bowl. It's all kumbaya down here, baby. In forty-three years we've never been happier; now is the least likely time this fan base would do anything of the sort. In Payton and Loomis we trust. So if they thought they could do without Bush, I'm sure most of us would just go along with it. Besides, given Reggie's penchant for being so controversial among Saints fans, getting rid of him might actually cut back on some of the in-fighting.
But of all the things Florio says in this article, I find one statement above all else to be the most controversial and this is where I'll leave it for you guys to take over the discussion...
Though the Saints likely would have won the Super Bowl without Bush...
What do you think?

QB Delhomme's visit moved to Sunday; no new contracts offered by Saints
"The Saints, with Super Bowl XLIV MVP Drew Brees behind center, are about as far from the starting quarterback market as a football team can get."
About!? How can a team be any further away?

2010 CSC Community Mock Draft: The Jacksonville Jaguars Select...
by Saintsational on Mar 13, 2010 6:00 AM CST

We're now onto the tenth pick in our second annual CSC community mock draft. Today's pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars was made by Monkey Poop Battle. I will let him take over and reveal the player he has selected. Thanks to him for his participation.
The tenth pick in the Canal Street Chronicles mock draft will be made by our resident poo slinger, Monkey Poop Battle. He is both a scholar and a gentleman. If your man stopped using lady-scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he would smell like MPB. A woman once got pregnant simply by looking into his eyes. He is about to throw a handful of knowledge feces your way, so you'd better prepare yourself to catch his nuggets of wisdom. He's on a horse (Note: Monkey Poop Battle may have written his own intro and forced Saintsational to post it under threat of projectile excrement).

Mickey Loomis Press Conference Transcript: Saints State of the Union

Opening Statement: "We’ve had some time to celebrate winning Super Bowl XLIV. It’s been everything that we could have dreamed of. We want to thank our fans for the tremendous reception that they’ve given us. It started with the greeting that we had at the airport when we came back from the airport when we got back from Miami, the victory parade, which was beyond description if you weren’t a participant and all the way through the mardi gras parades that we were able to participate in. We want to thank the krewes for allowing us to do that and frankly from my point of view and I participated in a couple of those, it was like an extension of the victory parade. We appreciate that a lot. We recognized the special relationship that our fans have had with this team, not just this year, but for all o these years and I can assure you that we don’t take that for granted. I also want to assure our fans that we’re back to work. We’re preparing of the upcoming season and the opportunity to defend a championship. We’re on schedule in our preparations for the draft. We have all of our draft picks except for our fifth round choice, which last year we traded in order to take Thomas Morstead. Though the final four rules prevented our participation in free agency until a little while ago, we’re prepared for that. We’re closely monitoring the activity and now we have the opportunity to bring a few guys in and sign at least one UFA. We began this offseason with difficult decisions. We terminated the contracts of Jamar Nesbit, Mark Simoneau and Charles Grant and those players have meant a lot to this organization, great team guys who were instrumental in turning a 3-13 team in 2005 into a Super Bowl champion for the 2009 season. We also started this league year with ten unrestricted free agents and 18 restricted free agents, 16 of whom we tendered offers to. So far we’ve been able to sign three of our unrestricted free agents, Nick Leckey, Jason Kyle, Pierson Prioleau and one of our restricted free agents, Leigh Torrence. We hope to have contracts for all of the RFAs tendered in the coming months. We have a lot of work in front of us, but we’re going to be doing that pretty diligently. We’ve lost one player to another team so far, Scott Fujita and Scott just got an offer that was too good to turn down. He wanted to return to New Orleans. We wanted him to return to New Orleans, but we understand what free agency is. We’re going to miss Scott and Jaclyn. They were the first to commit to the New Orleans Saints after Hurricane Katrina, after the 2005 season and Scott really exemplified the type of player we want in New Orleans, intelligent, tough, high-character and a great leader for our team. We wish them all the best."
