Not much other than player tweets today, so it'll be short and sweet but with lots of funny articles from The Onion. Judging by their tweets, Saints players were just as much in awe of Michael Vick's incredible game last night as the rest of us were. The team resumes practice tomorrow in preparation for the Seahawks.

jeffduncantp "Bags to Riches" is as much a #NOLA book as it is a #Saints book. The lead characters aren't Brees/Payton, but New Orleanians & #WhoDats.

Terrified Matt Moore Audibles After Allegedly Seeing Monster In Defense | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
CHARLOTTE, NC—Early in the third quarter of last Sunday's game against the Saints, Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Moore saw something terrifying and inhuman in the defense and called an audible, the visibly shaken quarterback later confirmed. "I didn't like what I saw out there, because, I swear to God, this thing had huge claws and fangs," said Moore, who frantically ran up and down the line of scrimmage pointing and screaming, warning his teammates about the ghoulish beast, and yelling "blue 32 falcon."

"It's really been tough to watch, especially for a team that had so much potential heading into the season," Appleton, WI shopkeeper and longtime Packers fan Erik Hoyer said. "Ha! I was almost able to say that with a straight face. Honestly, this Cowboys team has made watching football more fun than it's been in years.

"Their spirits were really high just before Mr. Cutler arrived, but literally the second he entered the room the kids just sort of closed off, and once he started talking about how poorly he was treated in Denver, they became sullen and quiet," said Erin Matthews, who until Tuesday ran a diabetes support group for children ages 8 to 14 at the downtown YMCA. "After I recovered from my shock, I was surprised that all the children died, seeing as diabetes isn't terminal and can be controlled with medication.
