5Q: Kevin Mathis | Atlanta Falcons
KM: It’s very difficult to say how different the fans are. I’ve been on both ends of it. For instance, my first year in New Orleans, we played Atlanta in New Orleans and at the end of the game, all you could see was Falcons fans up at the top, still screaming, still yelling because they won. It opened my eyes and I said, "Hey, these guys travel all the way from Atlanta down to New Orleans for this game." It’s the same on the other side, where we’ve gotten beaten by New Orleans in Atlanta.

Saints could face choice between free agents Marques Colston and Carl Nicks
My educated guess is this: I don't think both will be playing for the Black and Gold next year and both could leave for greener pastures.

If those 4 starred in a movie

…the title would be “The Four Noble Truths.”

1. Life means suffering.

2. The origin of suffering is attachment.

3. The cessation of suffering is attainable.

4. The path to the cessation of suffering is kicking the snot out of Atlanta in the NFC Championship in the Dome, before kicking the snot out of the AFC pretender in the Super Bowl.

alley-walsh's definition of a No. 1 receiver: " a guy that can stretch the defense.."

what..? so any on-trick pony with 4.3 speed “naturally” must be the No. 1 receiver of any offense..
so we got us a No. 1 already, in meach.. & ted ginn an absolute No. 1 in his book..
he really finally breaks it beyond repair with the part: “a good receiver not a great one that the saints will replace with a free agent..”
just like that.. he told us.. must be true.. any old FA ( a cheap one, too..) can do the garbage work colston does..
this is prime example reassuring my take on some of our discussions during the try-out period by our homegrown writers.. Mr. alley-walsh certainly writes with great panache, & uses tremendously vast vocabulary.. but his true knowledge of the intricacies of the game leave something to be desired..
