Saints News: 6.29.08

There really is nothing to report today. Sad.

I did however find a quiz created by Pat Kirwan on NFL.com. Make the jump to try your luck.

Here is Pat Kirwan's offseason quiz from NFL.com. I am not providing a link because I want you guys to leave your answers in the comment section. In the spirit of blogging I will provide the link tomorrow along with the answers. Yes, you can cheat and find the answers yourself, but we are going with the honor system on this one. Below are Kirwan's directions, grading scale and questions. Have fun!

Take this 20-question test in 5 minutes or less and grade your results with the answer key at the bottom. A score of 20 is Hall of Fame status; 18-19 correct makes you an All-Pro; 16-17 is a Pro Bowl alternate; 14-15 ensures you a 2008 contract and below 14 gets you cut.
