2011 Free Agency Update: Saints Re-Sign DE Jeff Charleston

As MtnExile has already posted in a Fanshot over an hour ago...nola.com is reporting that the New Orleans Saints have re-signed free agent defensive end Jeff Charleston. Nice work, M-E.

Mike Triplett posted this at 4:28 pm CST:

The New Orleans Saints re-signed backup defensive end Jeff Charleston, who has been with the team since 2008. The 6-foot-4, 265-pounder has been an effective pass rusher in spurts. He had three sacks and two forced fumbles last season.

To make room, the Saints released defensive end Curtis Johnson.

No details on the contract minutiae yet, so stay tuned for updates.

Is it just me or does she remind you of a redheaded Tuesday Weld?

Yeah, you're right

She does bear a slight resemblance around the eyes.

Although….my all-time favorite redhead was a young lady who sold cars at Mossy Olds on Broad in the mid ’80’s.

Whenever I think of Jeff Charleston...

I always just remember him yelling “SHIRT OFF!!” in the locker room after the Super Bowl.

No Hall Of Fame post? I was expecting an open thread or at least a write up on it. Ehh, expectations are overrated. Anyone else watching the induction?

Faulk is going off in this piece. I guess I should be happy I can understand what he’s saying unlike……………uh, ya’ll know who I’m talking bout.

I hope everyone is either out having fun or getting some…….. The first time I’m ready to talk some real football and everyone is sleeping. Just my luck.

Only had one problem with Primes Speech....

And it’s probably just schematics. I don’t get the ashamed of my momma part. I’d have probably said ashamed for my momma. And he did get a little preachy, but I guess that’s OK. If you have a platform; use it. Also didn’t think his bust looked much like him. The Dew rag did help.

I just felt like his delivery was fake. The whole “momma” speech he sounded like he was going to cry yet his eyes weren’t even shiny. At least do what the girl on Grey’s Anatomy does for a crying scene and hit a doobie first.

by cscmember on Aug 7, 2011 9:04 AM CDT up reply actions  

yeah and

he had to turn away for the fake cry on the post ceremony interview.

Shannon Sharpe saying that he's the only player in the HoF

That is the second best player in his family and the standing ovation given to Sterling was the highlight of the night for me. That was priceless

CSC M.

did you see the Ed Sabol intro and speech? Good stuff. They did a one-hour documentary about him on NFL Network. I watched it this afternoon it was FANTASTIC…

No I missed the beginning of the induction. The moment I got home I turned on ESPN and they were on Faulk. I will make a point of watching the whole induction when possible.

by cscmember on Aug 7, 2011 9:07 AM CDT up reply actions  

Why care about the inductions? What really matters about HOF weekend is that normally we’d have football tomorrow! …and at least this year we’ll still have it in about a week…

Are you ready for some football?

by FriarBob on Aug 6, 2011 9:33 PM CDT reply actions  

Faulk's a New Orleans boy and my wife is from St. Louis

Plus, we watch every year to hear the speeches – some interesting stories there.

Ed Sabol’s story and intro were fascinating.

Agreed. The inductions are typically more entertaining than exhibition football. And I love the preseason.

These busts look NOTHING like the actual players

I would NEVER have guessed that was Deion Sanders.

if he wasn’t standing next to it, I’d have no idea who it was

yes, you are most wonderfully correct, sir

Did you get to see the one-hour special NFL Network ran about him this week? If not, then I ORDER YOU TO DVR IT STAT!!!

It was amazing.

He used to sell overcoats (family business) and kicked a** at it, then sold the business and started a film company. He is/was a total ham and started making amateur movies, then bid for the rights to film the NFL Championship for $5000 and WON! After winning the bid for the game a few years in a row, he convinced Rozelle to let him start NFL Films so he could do NFL filming full time.

The movie about him talks about how it grew and grew – (hollywood music, slow-motion, wiring players and coaches for sound, football follies, etc.) PRICELESS. I’m going to watch it again and then copy it for my parents and in-law parents it was so good.

Sabol was the genius who brought John Facenda "The Voice of God"

Sabol was the only inductee in whom I was interested. I’m gonna DVR that special. He truly did change the popularity of the sport.
