Drew Brees is on pace to throw for 5,376 yards this season. Bor-ing. His completion percentage of 70.9 is one of the highest in history. Ho-hum. Football Outsiders ranks the 2011 Saints offense as one of the 10 best of the last two decades, with the current Packers and Patriots offenses also making the list. Yawn. Brees is universally respected as a role model, philanthropist and humanitarian who has lent his time and energy to everything from Hurricane Katrina relief to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition and anti-bullying campaigns. Whatever. If you do not lead your team to 13-10 wins with the help of a string of 50-yard field goals, we do not have room for you in these capsules anymore. Sorry, buddy. Pick: Saints
Adrian Peterson wants to play for his fantasy owners | ProFootballTalk
From a team standpoint, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has one reason to play on a sprained ankle -- avoiding the all-time franchise record for losses in a season. But Peterson has other reasons to give it a try.

Falcons hitting stride at right time - NFC South Blog - ESPN
That loss hit the Falcons hard, coming as it did against a Saints team with which they have kindled one of the league’s top rivalries in recent years. But the Falcons will get another shot at the Saints. This time it comes when the Falcons seem to be playing up to their potential, and they should be rested and healthy.

Patrick Robinson cut his dreads
People will be asking, “Where’s Patrick Robinson, and who is this new CB that plays just like him?”
Peyton, I can eat Oreos faster than you!!!!
True
Maybe even opponents won’t recognize him either and have a hard time determining if it’s him or Greer they’re about to throw against. Nah, I know the numbers with distinguish them.

but hopefully he’s play like a different (better) player.
and, maybe tracy can get a haircut too… maybe a picture of him catching an interception.
It’s not the size of your TOP, it’s how you use it!
Want scientific proof? Read this paper by Dr. Jeremy Arkes.
Just read the guys will be wearing White jerseys, didn't say what color their pants will be
I am betting probably gold, since the Queens will more than likely be in purple shirts/white pants.
LOVING MOORE, GRAHAM AND THE COOL BREES!
does anyone think
this is the game when Drew Brees breaks Norm Van Brocklin’s record 554 passing yards in a single game? The Vikings’ secondary is porous enough

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

nah
It would have to be a shoot out for that to happen. Or AP runs for 250 yards.
And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command, we shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti.
that's true
Payton will probably rely on the run in this one
