New Orleans Saints Sign DT Al Woods

by Dave Cariello on Jul 15, 2010 2:25 PM CDT

The Saints front office has finally joined the rookie signing party this year by inking Al Woods to a four-year contract, the first of the 2010 draft class. The Times-Pic has confirmation but not much more info than that.

No surprises here; many of us figured the local favorite would be the first to sign. Hopefully the rest of the draft class will fall in line quickly and before the start of training camp.

Give 'em hell, Al!

The opposition, I mean. I hope he quickly becomes a force on the D-line. Plug those running lanes!

Thank God.

I thought Mickey was too busy trying to fix the fax machine to focus on signing people.

Maybe his agent will stop by and tell us how much money he is making

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if Al Woods signs a contract?

so, in this year's motivational schedule

Reggie can pick up Big Al Wood and carry him out of the tunnel (instead of that skinny ole bat from last year), when he’s coached up to “bring the wood”.

Got big Al signed and ready to start clogging things up

…the oil leak that is. Everyone heard the news? The leak has stopped! Al Woods just signed his contract and went out and clogged that spill.
Now we need a player with some definite suckage to get all the oil off of the surface of the water. Jason David?

The US government’s incident commander, Adm Thad Allen, said even if it was successful, the well would be reopened and oil capture by ships on the surface would restart while a seismic test was done.

“We can go back then and put the system under pressure again. Once we are convinced we can certainly consider shutting in the well, that is always possible and we would certainly look to do that.”

So wait

does that mean that they’ll reopen it into the gulf or into ships collecting it?

To be honest, I’m not sure. I’ve tried to follow this as closely as possible but the next steps from here are confusing. I can’t say that today’s news is cause for celebration, though, given that the explosion was about three months ago.

I think it means that they might reopen it for business, as in collecting it for profit instead of a disaster relief.

Well...

They do have to find a way and collect that 20 billions they promised.

I think BP wants it to be as confusing as possible.

They’re focused on trying to reduce their overall liability costs. Deception is their best means of doing that. We can only pray the oil flow is finally ending.
