PrintThe month of May is miserable enough during the regular NFL off-season, but now that we know the NFL lockout will continue for another few weeks, as a blogger it's going to become even more difficult to come up with relevant topics to write about. Unless Reggie Bush decides to speak his mind on Twitter, of course. After a quick look around SB Nation's other football blogs, I've noticed I'm not alone.
Some of my colleagues have decided to try out a mailbag type of post, soliciting questions from readers and then answering them later in a follow-up post. Since I'm unoriginal and have no good ideas of my own, I figured I would give it a shot myself. Hopefully it will be both entertaining and discussion generating.
So if you've got a burning question you've been dying to know my answer to, send an email to blogandgold@yahoo.com, send me a tweet @csctweet, post on our wall at Canal Street Chronicles Facebook page or just ask me in the comment section below. They can be about the Saints, the NFL, the blog or even personal. Don't forget to leave your first name and last initial so we can give you credit for the question.
I will round up the best questions, from what will hopefully be a healthy supply of inquisitions, and answer them in a timely fashion in a second post. If all goes well and you guys enjoy the idea, we can easily make this a regular event even if/when the lockout finally ends. If the response isn't great, this is probably the last you'll hear of it.

Brees' performance last seaon.....
Why do you think Brees threw so many INTs when he could’ve just ran at least 10 yds on some plays or just ate the sack? Was he suffering from some kind of injury?
I have a question
I’m thinking of getting a fleur-de-lis tattoo. Should I get it on my shoulder, ass, or nad sack? :)
Seriously, this post is a good idea. We’re going to have to really search for topics to entertain ourselves with over the next few weeks. We might as well use this time to exchange burger recipes, talk about classic cars, have another swimsuit pic thread (preferably only women, but Stujo can submit some self-portraits if he wants), or just reminisce about our favorite Saints moments.

Saw an interesting post on ESPN today.
They were ranking the top helmet designs in the NFL…Saints came in 11th…the Browns of all things were like 5th? Granted Saints fans will be biased to Saints helmets….take it out of the question…and rate your choice for top 31 helmets designs in the NFL.
"Winter is coming"
my top 5 (not including the Saints...being #1 of course)
1. Raiders
2. Bears
3. Steelers
4. Packers
5. Jets

Yeah, freaking Buffalo, eating grass. OJ Simpson pre-white Bronco.
Browns don’t need no logo. They don’t even need a brown helmet, it’s orange. Because it looks badass with brown and white, since 1946. Jim Brown. If they could only build another winning team, it’d get some respect. Nice try, Marty. Earnest Byner!!! GAAA!

I've always been partial to the Browns helmet, too - think the orange, brown and white make a nice combo
plus they are a team that the owner named after himself – NICE

1. Of course.
2. Yeah, they’re cool. Bastards.
3. The best logo design to come along in decades.
4. The best white helmets.
5. As much as I criticize their uniforms overall, I love their helmets.
It was good while it lasted.
Best thing the Falcons (Jerry Glanville) did was switch to a black helmet.
Texans’ logo is well done.
Always wondered why the Dolphin has an M on HIS helmet.
The Bengals were going to have tiger stripes on their original helmets in 1968, but Paul Brown didn’t want to pay extra for them, so they went with this:

the easiest way I found to post fanshots is save the link on top of the actual fanshot page to your bookmarks or favorites or whatever and when you’re on a page you wanna link to CSC just click that bookmark while on that page and it automatically formats it to whatever you want really. Most of the time just click the “link” tab and it should put everything in place. All you’ve gotta do is put any blurb you would like and click post.

I disagree
We are not the Wikings. We don’t advocate rule changes to fix what was really our own fault last year, for next year. That’s not going to happen again anyway.
The Seahawks won the NFC West. Even if their record was 6-10, if they won it, they won it. They should have been stomped like the Saints embarrassed the Cardinals in the divisional round in the 2009 season playoffs. GDub will not allow another Seahawk disaster again.
"Dylan got away with murder. I thought, 'I can write this crap, too'." - John Lennon
Nah
I’m not changing it because we lost. That was just a freaky bad game by us. 7 out of 10 times I think we wing that game.
Even before we played them, I didn’t like the fact they made it into the playoffs. Especially when teams like the Bucs and Giants went 10-6. I see how it might seem I was complaining because we lost, but that wasn’t how I menat it. My bad.
