Bushrod the league's worst OT?
Come on, man! After reading this guy’s post, you’d think the Saints finished 8-8 again and missed the playoffs.

I refuse to read it
I hate New York. It’s the media capital of the world and Peter King knows that107% of all TV’s in the US are located in the 5 boroughs.
Watched half of Saturday Night Fever last night, uncut, on TCM. 1976 Brooklyn had its own sub-subculture and they had to make a movie out of it. IMDB = 6.7, an outrage. One of Gene Siskel’s favorites.

Get out of town!
I watched it on TCM last night too. I had never seen it before. It was a pretty good film, but thank God the disco era quickly died out. I guess I was too young to notice that crap at the time. My dad always had tunes by the Eagles, Steely Dan, Peter Frampton, Led Zeppelin and the like going in our house. No disco. Thanks, Dad! This song is still one of my favorites.

re: disco vs what we now know as classic rock
Reminded me of an radio interview with the Eagles, and disco came up as a topic: Glenn Frey said they got letters after the One Of These Nights single came out, accusing them of “going disco”. He said they were stunned, that they thought disco was discotheques, like Trini Lopez at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go. Then Don Henley blurts out “It’s a producer’s medium!” I wasn’t sure what that meant at the time, but it’s very clear what it means now. A producer has no artistic talent himself, but he does know how to hire a singer and musicians, find a song, book the studio and get a record made and put to market (and collect all but the songwriting royalties for himself). Which is precisely what is predominant today: The artist has little or nothing to do with the song or the record, it’s all fabricated by the producer. But then Journey came along and rock became a producer’s medium and now we’re in hell.

Tony: (riding in car with pals) Whydontcha get some new tapes? These tapes are 4 years old.

Being about that age, I appreciated the economics of the time: Tony got a raise at his little job, $2.50 a week (presumably; boss was shamed into bumping it to $4). I remember when my mother got a .05/hour raise at her job at Gibson’s Discount Center, she was very proud ($2/week). Tony was complaining to the guys that a night at 2001 Odyssey would set them back $20 to $30 (admission, drinks, condoms) , couldn’t do it more than once a week, that was quite a lot of money back then. Only one guy had a car, and it was 14 years old. It was like that in my town too. Of course, by this time M-E was out of college and making some serious money.

did you say Gibson's?
I bought many a plastic halloween costume, and spent much birthday money in the toy/candy department at the Gibson’s in the Bogue Falaya Plaza in Covington.

Most impressive was that Brees did this despite playing behind the game’s worst LT, Jermon Bushrod.
That’s ludicrous!
The line, as a whole, was so-so, though guards Carl Nicks and Jahri Evans were elite run-blockers.
No need to read further. Either he’s pandering to the fans, being intentionally controversial, or just plain brain dead… he’s retarded AND has a syndrome.
Pigs have flown! Hell has frozen over! The Saints HAVE WON the Superbowl!!
you don't win a superbowl with a so-so offensive line- ever
it ALL starts with the O Line. Without a very good O-line, you are lucky to tie. You will never win.
