Sean Payton Furtive and Local Media Lacking Means Regular Season Officially Here!

Now that we are within one week of the Saints first 2009 regular season game, Sean Payton has returned the team right back into its usual Defcon Five high alert mode, revealing nothing before it's necessary. Likewise, the New Orleans media has picked up right where it left off last season, continuing it's half-hearted attempt to dig up the important facts. Pierre Thomas has a mysterious cut suffered from a fence, in addition to a sprained MCL, but details are still very hazy.

New Orleans Saints tailback Pierre Thomas showed some good elusiveness in the Saints' locker room, shooting out the door just as the media was allowed in this afternoon. So we still have no details on this cut he apparently suffered from a fence.

It's our mistake for not grilling Sean Payton for more details on the injury this afternoon, but the coach is always reticent to discuss injury specifics this early in the week.

And we, the fans, are still left with absolutely no more information than we started off with. And that could only mean one thing...

[Takes deep breath]

[Smiles]

Football in New Orleans is officially back! Who is getting excited?!

Seriously though, what's the deal with Pierre? A cut suffered from a fence? Sounds eerily similar to when Jerry's girlfriend contracted gonorrhea from a tractor. Not that I think the laceration is an issue but I'm getting the feeling we're going to get an early look at Mike Bell this Sunday. 

In related news, this is the second time a fence has been responsible for an injury to a Saints player.  What gives, fences?

Anyone else think...

…that the term “fence” refers to the criminal fraternity’s meaning of the word?

Or what was it Robert Frost wrote in Mending Walls...

Good fences make good neighbors?

And like a good neighbor, State Farm is there for all your fence-related claims, I guess.

Let’s line ‘em up and play, boys. Sunday can’t come soon enough.

Be Careful With Those Tractors!

“Sounds eerily similar to when Jerry’s girlfriend contracted gonorrhea from a tractor”. I like that….I never knew you could get gonorrhea from a tractor…. hope it was from the seat!!!!!

Would it be fair to assume

that Fujita’s fence was a D-Fence, while Pierre’s was an O-Fence?

Pierre injury

My guess is he was climbing over a chain link fence, got snagged, and got cut somewhere around the crotch area or possibly the inner thigh. Why else would they keep the location hush-hush unless it’s in an embarrassing locale. The report is that he was limping at practice yesterday. That may not be caused by the knee but by a cut along his inner thigh.

I’m starting to fear for PT Cruiser. He’s in a contract year and obviously sooooooo motivated to get out there and prove himself as a solid replacement for Deuce. It must be killing him to get off to a start like this, especially after Mike Bell has also proven himself to be a solid RB. Pierre wants to be the man on this team at the RB position. I hope he’s able to get over these injuries and do just that so he’ll earn a nice-sized contract for next year. He’s currently getting paid chump change in comparison to Reggie’s salary.

climbing over a chain link fence?

Why would he be doing that?

The same reason a person climbs a mountain.

Because it’s there. :)

simple

….he was using a fence to practice leaping over the pile at the goal line.

PT is going downhill already

I think mike bell is better. I wasn’t excited about pt last year. Not on pt bandwagon this year either.

agreed

i’m for Reggie but I’ll give PT his props for doing well when he got alot of carries. I think he could become a big part of the offense this year, especially if they line him beside Reggie.

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

I just don't want this PT injury train to go to Philly and into that hernia surgeon's office

but there’s really anything that could happen because Payton could be hiding anything under the tip of this injury iceberg (Titanic, anyone?).

Yep, me too

I’m not on the PT bandwagon either. I don’t really care for the guy!
