This man does not respect the Saints; but he kinda likes the Jets

Jason Cole, of Yahoo Sports. Email him here

Best, worst matchups of 2009:

OCT. 4

Best: New York Jets at New Orleans – All head coaches have a certain mad scientist side to them. Sean Payton of New Orleans and Rex Ryan of the Jets are no exceptions. Payton is an offensive schemer of the highest order and loves to throw. Ryan is his defensive counterpart.

He is? Huh. We shall see. I suspect whoever was playing the Jets this weekend would've been selected as Jason's best.

DEC. 27

Worst: Tampa Bay at New Orleans – At least one, if not both, of these teams will be mailing it in by the end of this season. My bet is on both.

WHAT??? Well now we have a conundrum, what to do, what to do. Is the proper procedure to object strenuously and proclaim the Saints to be The Team in 2009, or wait until they prove themselves to be that without a doubt and THEN shove it in the naysayers' faces??? We all must make this choice for ourselves. Vaya con Dios.

Yeah, I saw this D-bag's article this morning and was not impressed

Notice how he started this article:

Each year, loyal reader E.M. Beau of Palo Alto, Calif., saves this story for future reference. He (or she, I don’t know what the initials mean) likes to look back at what I wrote and point out idiotic remarks I’ve made at this time as the importance of certain games inevitably change.

And for those of you like Beau, save away. When it turns out that San Francisco at St. Louis on Jan. 3 is actually a battle of a 14-1 team against a 15-0 team, I’ll gladly eat my words. That’s because, like this column, most words on the Internet have no real substance.

Onward we go for a look at the best and worst games of the 2009 season:

Translation: “I’m just pulling stuff out of my ass. My words, if later wrong, are meaningless and how dare you call me on them. My words, if later correct, are those of a genius and you should recognize me for the brilliant predicter I am.”

I’ll let Mr. Leslie Nielsen sum up my thoughts on this guy and his useless predictions:

Nothing to see here. Move along please.

Go Saints!!!! Deuce may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.

i saw it

i’ll be glad to say that the guy is smoking crack. the Saints can easily be in the playoff hunt. Tampa has the possibility but don’t seem to have had a great offseason. Either way, teams usually play their best against division rivals.

Superbowl bound!!!...I hope? Go Saints! :D

What would you expect from a Yahoo?

Actually, we seem to play better when no one believes in us. If we have to be a bulletin board team to get motivated, so be it. How do you think the Patriots got to where they are (were?)?
Anyway, about five years ago, take note now, I had a dream. Not just any dream, a real Out of Body Experience. I travelled to the future and found myself on the street outside the Superdome. I could hear a radio playing, it was a sports announcer and I heard him say this:
“The Saints have won the 2010 Superbowl!”
His co-host says, “Could this be the beginning of a New Orleans Dynasty?”
Take from this what you will. Personally, I’m checking the odds out of Vegas to see what the chances are of the Saints reaching the Superbowl this year. 45 to 1? I’ll plunk a grand on that.
