Happy Halloween, Who Dat and CSC Nations!!!!
It's Sunday morning with a spooky chill in the air, a latte in my mug, and a bowl of candy a little bit too close for comfort. (Quick! what are the three annual mornings in which it's sanctioned to have candy for breakfast? Today, Christmas, and Easter. I may not be much of an organized religion man, but I will follow the Candy Trail...that's for sure!)
We have a long wait until kickoff, so pass the time with final injury updates, game capsule previews and player profiles, inane tweets about food and college football, a couple of videos, and whatever else I've clipped and posted below.
Vote in the poll, elaborate in a comment, and share some commentary involving festive language and/or Halloween puns, too.
Let's make this a Halloween to Remember!!! (and don't drink too much tonight, or you won't remember anything)
Steelers vs Saints coverage
From the Meaningless Stats Department...
(seeking to provide some Week 8 hope and comfort in a season that's been a bit trying already)
The 2010 New Orleans Saints are 2-0 in prime time games this season.
The 2010 New Orleans Saints are 2-0 in games following a loss this season.
Tonight's game is both a prime time appearance AND a game following a loss. How can we lose? (imagine this question boxed in the Rectangle of Sarcasm, please)
