PrintWith all this talk of soul searching and looking for answers, a number of musical connections come to mind, but I went with The Police for the headline.
We've got English Beat with Sole Salvation (ok, it's a homonym - live with it). Special Beat Service is some kind of FANTASTIC album, by the way. SKA rules! We could also go down under and check out our Cargo to figure out our team's true identity by asking Men At Work the question Who Can It Be Now?
And now that I'm out of connections you can join in on the fun by using the comment section to match up the Saints' current situation with a song and link to the video.
In Saints news, Reggie has been cleared to practice, PT is a malingering layabout (or is he?) and Sean Payton needs to shut his piehole about it, no one really knows how to fix what's wrong with the Saints, but we have plenty of indicators of what we're doing wrong. And guess what? The 5-1 Pittsburgh Steelers are coming to town.
Make the jump to fill your brain with the latest scoop from the Saints and Steelers respective camps...and give us some musical connections - I know there are plenty of musical geniuses out there!

reggie_bush In either game of life or football the margin for error is extremely small! It's a game of inches! Fight, kick, scratch, & die 4 that inch!
reggie_bush Give everything you got for that inch! Because that's gonna make the difference between winning and losing the game of life or football

"Any reaction, to the notion, that you're in the coaches Doghouse?"
was asked by the reporter, thats how things get taken o/o/context, by what a reporter said, not the player. Could be a ques. for FPK

yeah, CP!! Thanks for playing - I was hoping you'd chime in...
I like that song and haven’t heard it in a while…a good blend of melancholy with early 2000’s angst (well played).
It's gonna be a great year.

Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
there’s still time to change the road you’re on…i hope so

For my generation of Saints fans:
People try to put us down (Talkin’ ‘bout my generation)
Just ’cause we lost to dem Browns (Talkin’ ‘bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin’ ‘bout my generation)
I hope we’ll get to da Super Bowl (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
This is my generation
This is my generation, baby
Why don’t you all f-fade away (Talkin’ ‘bout my generation)
But heed the words of Jesus 1 K (Talkin’ ‘bout my generation)
I’d like to make it with a S-S-Saintsation (Talkin’ ‘bout my generation)
I’m just talkin’ ‘bout my generation (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
This is my generation
This is my generation, baby
