PrintNot much other than player tweets today, so it'll be short and sweet but with lots of funny articles from The Onion. Judging by their tweets, Saints players were just as much in awe of Michael Vick's incredible game last night as the rest of us were. The team resumes practice tomorrow in preparation for the Seahawks.

jeffduncantp #Saints lead NFL in pass defense, completing a spectacular 2-year overhaul to the secondary. Remember David, Bullocks, Kaesviharn, Gibbs?
T_Porter22 Just waking up. I think I took a step back..I feel like crap
jeffduncantp The '09 offseason was spectacular for the #Saints secondary. In 4 months, they added DC G.Williams; FS D.Sharper; CB J.Greer; & DB M.Jenkins
jeffduncantp My new #Saints book, "From Bags to Riches," will be released a week from today, Nov. 23. You can check it out here: http://bit.ly/aC1LG4
jeffduncantp "Bags to Riches" is as much a #NOLA book as it is a #Saints book. The lead characters aren't Brees/Payton, but New Orleanians & #WhoDats.

TUESDAY FUNNIES WITH THE ONION:
Terrified Matt Moore Audibles After Allegedly Seeing Monster In Defense | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
CHARLOTTE, NC—Early in the third quarter of last Sunday's game against the Saints, Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Moore saw something terrifying and inhuman in the defense and called an audible, the visibly shaken quarterback later confirmed. "I didn't like what I saw out there, because, I swear to God, this thing had huge claws and fangs," said Moore, who frantically ran up and down the line of scrimmage pointing and screaming, warning his teammates about the ghoulish beast, and yelling "blue 32 falcon."
Nation Taking No Joy In Cowboys' Pathetic Collapse | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
"It's really been tough to watch, especially for a team that had so much potential heading into the season," Appleton, WI shopkeeper and longtime Packers fan Erik Hoyer said. "Ha! I was almost able to say that with a straight face. Honestly, this Cowboys team has made watching football more fun than it's been in years. They can't run the ball, they can't defend anything, and they're imploding so bad that their owner doesn't even know how many games they've played."
Report: Michael Vick Getting Confident Enough To Do Something Terrible Again | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
"Clearly he's playing like the electrifying Michael Vick of five years ago, the quarterback who was selected to three Pro Bowls, handed the Packers their first-ever home playoff loss, and had the bald arrogance to kill underperforming fighting dogs with his bare hands and think he would get away with it,"

Group Of Kids With Diabetes All Die One Day After Visit From Jay Cutler | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
"Their spirits were really high just before Mr. Cutler arrived, but literally the second he entered the room the kids just sort of closed off, and once he started talking about how poorly he was treated in Denver, they became sullen and quiet," said Erin Matthews, who until Tuesday ran a diabetes support group for children ages 8 to 14 at the downtown YMCA. "After I recovered from my shock, I was surprised that all the children died, seeing as diabetes isn't terminal and can be controlled with medication.

NEW YORK—The NFL deployed thousands of volunteers Wednesday along with $4.6 million in football supplies to assist in the dilapidated NFC West's rebuilding effort. "This division is a total disaster," said Fred Hudson, co-leader of the NFC West Response Team, who vowed to work every day until the division was restored to tolerable condition following its battering by massive waves of defense and deadly special teams play.

thomasmorstead : Will be at Winn Dixie in river ridge tonight from 5:30-6:30
Aw, c’mon man! I can’t go. I’ve been banned from all Winn-Dixie stores. I put the store manager in a headlock after he said something about “I can’t stand LSU….” I forget the rest because I blacked out.
"Relax, have a homebrew."
I can’t stand LSU either…totally overrated. If you can make it to Montana and put me in a headlock to get me outta work, i’d appreciate it.
"Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not 'every man for himself.' And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked 'em up."
Should be good. I’d pick you up from the airport…but I’d rather the random act of violence take place at work for obvious reasons. You’ll have to get a security badge up front, but that should be no problem.
"Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not 'every man for himself.' And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked 'em up."
How did you manage to lose your temper that badly?
You should have just had a beer.
It was worth the wait.
Ha! If truth be known....
I’ve been in all of 2 fights as an adult and this was several years back: A drunk man got mad at his g/f and threw a bottle of Coke and hit my kid… and then had the nerve to say that my kid should have gotten out of the way. It just so happened to be in the Winn-Dixie. (the other was with my brother in-law at a family gathering…. wasn’t that big a deal).
No, I don’t lose my temper often, and no it wasn’t about LSU…. lol. But sometimes you gotta knock people out when it comes to your children.
"Relax, have a homebrew."
Wow…what a douche…hope your kids all right.
"Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not 'every man for himself.' And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked 'em up."
I think he’s alright considering he was 10 at the time and now he’s 26. At the time, he was scared, bruised, and never seen his daddy go ape-shit. I’ve been a law abiding citizen ever since… lol.
But it’s been a long family joke that I’m banned from Winn-Dixie. (not really banned)
"Relax, have a homebrew."
Kinda like me being banned from Toys R Us. When i was 25 i got kicked out of the Toys R Us in Billings for making a racket by constantly dunking on a 9’ basketball rim in the middle of an aisle.
"Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not 'every man for himself.' And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked 'em up."
Cheers mate
u handled it the way should have been handled. U did good Dad.

LOL @ The Onion
This from the Cowboys article:
According to a recent USA Today poll, 45 percent of the country said that no team deserves to perform this terribly under this much pressure, except for the Dallas Cowboys. Thirty-two percent said that the season has been emotionally taxing for people who grew up worshipping Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, and Emmitt Smith, and that those people should probably go f*** themselves anyway.
This from the Matt Moore article:
“If I didn’t change the play, then that thing—whatever the hell it was—would have killed [running back] Jonathan [Stewart], because it was right in perfect position to rip him to shreds.” Moore, who changed the play from a toss right to a quick slant, was hit on the blind side and sacked for an eight-yard loss by a yeti.
LMAO! That’s right, world. We’ve got a freakin’ yeti playing on our team!

Gotta love The Onion
"Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not 'every man for himself.' And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked 'em up."
Did you do the Vote thingy Exio?
I did, and I’m proud to admit that I fall in the “
majority of male voters would have elected a naked lady”catagory!
I think, therefore I am, I think.
WOAH....a not safe for work warning please.
"Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not 'every man for himself.' And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked 'em up."
They should have a cakewalk game this weekend. Hopefully that will give them an over inflated sense of purpose.
