Tomorrow...Tomorrow...
I love you...tomorrow...you're only a day a-way.
(Breathes deeply and exhales. s*** eating grin on face.)
Just thought I would open with that. See a video of me performing it.
I am going to spare you from the generic "tomorrow is the first chance we get to see the results of all these offseason moves" rhetoric. That's for tomorrow.
Today I thought we would do something fun. And what can be more fun than making predictions, arguing nonsensically about them and vowing to kill each other. Nothing, I know, thats what I said too!
It's simple, here's how it's gonna work. All you do is make any random prediction about the game. Anything. It can be heads or tails on the coin toss (though that is stupid and I will make sure you are made fun of), a final score prediction, a certain stat or performance prediction or even an injury prediction. Nothing ridiculously obvious like "Drew will throw 10 passes" (again, expect ridicule). The funnier or more outrageous yet actually plausible, the better. Here are some examples:
- Deuce will re-injure his knee and his season will be over.
- After giving up yet another huge pass play, coach Payton will ream Jason David on the sideline so hard he won't be able to walk straight.
- The Cardinals will score 3 touchdowns and 2 field goals.
- Mehlhaff will make his kicks, Gramatica will not.
Then we can look back after the game and see who who was close and who was seriously toasted on ganja while making their guess. If we get a good response, we can make this a weekly thing with every game and even keep tally of correct predictions throughout the season.
So here is mine: Pierre Thomas gets two touchdowns but also fumbles once.
You're up!

Nice video. I echo the only youtube comment: wtf
My Prediction: Jason David has a pick and nice play on a deep pass which causes a cornerback controversy and much discussion amongst us all.

Bush bobbles a punt return attempt…Mark Campbell catches a TD and impresses with his blocking…Meachem doesnt score but has 100 plus yards…

Here goes....
Deuce will not play. Yeah, I know Payton has already said he wouldn’t. Here’s the real one:
Both Meachem and Arrington will score a TD. One from Brunell and one from Palko.
Ellis will get two sacks.
Pierre will break off a run of 30+ yards and will also score a TD.
Usama gets a pick.
Go Saints!!!!

My predictions
Something like this will most assuredly happen, minus the screw up at the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35zXbiEPnKk
And something like this probably happens every huddle with the boys in black and gold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoLSdXTod9s

1)Bush attempts to run up the middle but is once again shut down.
2)Ellis gets doubled and only gets a pass deflection.
3)Jo-Lonn Dunbar stuffs up the middle.
4)Skyler Green looks good on returning kicks and catches enough passes.

random thoughts...
arrington and meachem will shine…but arrington will outshine meachem
skylar shows us all why he deserves a roster spot over devery.
gay and usama each get a pick.
pierre continues to impress (running the ball) while stecker continues down the path of mediocrity
and finally, ellis sacks Warner causing him to have hip-replacement surgery. Warner then returns to his local supermarket and gets his old job back.
Dud has spoken.

here we go!!!
On the first drive bush brakes loose for a TD.
Meachem has a real nice game with 100 yards and a TD in the second quarter.
Brunnel remains his old self and sucks…so we trade to get brett farve as a back up…yes
And Ellis shows us he is every thing we dreamed he would be with 2 sacks.

They are who we thought they were!
After falling woefully behind, Saints pull improbably comeback with 3rd stringers and practice squad, blocking 2 Cardinal field goals and returning them for touchdowns. Wisenhunt channels his inner Denny Green and gives another press conference for the ages. (Like Bears, Saints then go on to win NFC, but beat their opponent in the Superbowl.)

Adrian Arrington will score once and Pierre Thomas will score twice.

As a respected internet scientist, I say
1. On the opening play, Will Smith will viciously sack Matt Leinart, ending the quarterback’s dreams of shedding his “bust” label and leaving Kurt Warner poised to reclaim his position as a legitimate Top 10 quarterback. While in the hospital, blood tests will reveal that Matt Leinart has acquired HIV due to his legendary sexual promiscuity, and that he is not long for the earth. However, he undergoes a miracle recovery thanks to the genius efforts of a curmudgeonly doctor, and re-enters the world a changed man due to his brush with death. He will seek out Will Smith and thank him for circuitously saving his life, provoking an emotional scene where Smith and Danny Wuerrfel (in a cameo) convince Leinart to give up his old ways completely. Leinart starts the extremely popular and effective “Take it From a Trojan Man: Stay Protected” sex ed campaign, which singlehandedly ends the proliferation of venereal diseases in the Southern California area. Several cable networks vie for the rights to the made-for-tv movie chronicling Leinart’s turn from the dark side, and TNT wins out.
2. Reggie Bush will score a touchdown every time he touches the ball, running up the middle for 50 yards, a counter for 80, and catching the ball in the endzone. Uncertain of his future, a jealous Aaron Stecker will convince Reggie after the game that Kim Kardashian is cheating on him with Deuce McAllister. Reggie, blinded by rage, will smother Kardashian with a pillow, realize his mistake, and kill himself. Aaron Stecker’s manipulations will be revealed by the detective work of Jon Vilma, and Sean Payton will order Stecker’s hanging at the next dawn. Sadly, the “Bush and Tush/Kush” pairing will tragically be forever lost to us.
3. Scott Fujita, albeit in a very friendly and personable way, will convince at least one member of the Cardinals o-line to commit seppuku for the shame that they have brought on their ancestors.
4. Jon Vilma will not play, but he will smoke a pipe and wear a monocle on the sideline while giving Mark Simoneau tips for looking “dapperer.”
5. Marques Colston will also not play, at least not football. By the time of the final whistle, Colston will have acquired at least ten new phone numbers.
Realistically, though, the d-line will look stellar and Big Sed will have a game justifying the seventh overall pick. Randall Gay will emerge as the most capable corner, Kevin Kaesviharn the most capable safety, and Jon Vilma (should he play) well worth the hype. Scott Fujita will remain the most reliable linebacker, Adrian Arrington will beat man coverage more often than not, and Reggie should have considerable success on his (probably very limited) carries. I predict one big play from Reggie, taking advantage of a broken (or, far more likely, missed) tackle and going for six. Oh, and Drew Brees’ performance will remind Kurt Warner what it was like to be the best quarterback in the NFC once.
Puck the Fats.

D line will shine!
I’ve got McCray and Smith witha couple of sacks
Big Sed and Grant (when they play hime inside) will look real good side by side with Ellis getting a sack
I’ve got Young and Gay with a couple interception thanks to the pressure applied by the front 4
KK will sure up his spot as one of the starting safety
Offense
Pierre Thomas will beast it out with 100+ yds and 2+ TDs
Bush will shine with Mark Campell blocking and AA and Mecheam making the Cardinal D honor our deep pass.
Special Teams
Skyler Green will earn his spot on the roster by returning 2 punts for TDs. (This will ake the national media sit up… this kid has skills in the open field.)

We'll see that...
1) Randall Gay has changed his last name from its societal homosexual reference to “Gaym” so as to portray a more masculine and competitive image while greatly increasing his jersey sales, ‘cause no one, probably not even him, would wear a garment on the street with the word “Gay” on it.
2) Kim K and Jessica Simpson, being the ‘fabulously close friends’ that they are, will attend the game together, attracting copious amounts of media attention. Reggie Bush will continue to ignore Kim K because of his purported ‘commitment to the game, his teammates and the Saints organization.’ Then, in a moment of hormonal impulse, Reggie, mid play, will acknowledge J.S.’s shouts of encouragement and muff a punt return, which is returned for a TD by the Cardinal’s soon to be released free agent “Mr. Irrelevant.” After the game a crushed Kim K. will fly to Vegas and hook up with Matt Leinhart for some emotional support in his hot tube. Meanwhile, R.B and J.S. are spotted in a white bronco parked in City Park and subsequently arrested for public indecency. Later, all charges against the couple will be dropped when our infamous mayor pulls some strings after R.B. makes a substantial donation to his trust fund, er uhm, City Park’s general fund.
3) Mayor Nagin refuses to address his involvement with the aforementioned scandal proclaiming, ‘I just want to hear some jazz, man’ as he is swifted off to a king cake party.
Ok, so I’m just trying to be funny. I’m just not a very funny person.
Seriously though, I predict that R.B. will stink it up once again and be traded back to USC where he will once again win the Heisman trophy…because he goes to USC. It will be announced in pre-game that Drew Brees has been traded for Brett Favre and Brett will throw for a thousand yards in a single pass, prompting Ted Thompson to call Mickey Loomis and beg him to trade Brett back to the Green Bay for the Packer’s entire draft for the next hundred years. And finally, Mickey, on the orders of Tom Benson, will politely decline.
Oops, I did it again.
