Early play on the Saints



Formerly known as the Ain'ts, the New Orleans football team has made moves and smart draft picks over the past three seasons to set them up for a serious run in 2008. Reggie Bush, while he hasn't lived up to expectations, has brought a sense of pride back to the city after moments of desperation following hurricane Katrina. In the off-season, the Saints beefed up their D with first rounder, Sedrick Ellis (USC) and free agent signing, Jonathan Vilma. The only weakness I saw last year aside from the injuries to the backs was the WR core. Rumor has it that the Saints are working out troubled WR, Chris Henry (CIN) and unhappy TE Jeremy Shockey(NYG). Couple those two with Pro-Bowler Marques Colston, former Superbowl Champ, David patten and 7th round draft-steal, Adrian Arrington, the Saints offense looks potent. They also play in a weak, NFC South. Every team in the division is shaky at QB. The falcons have obvious issues after the Michael Vick Situation. The Bucs have an old man playing QB in Jeff Garcia who never has two good seasons in a row and The Panther's Jake Delhomme is not the reliable force he once was. Currently Bodog has New Orleans listed at 22/1, I think people should jump on this, or some other betting site, too good to pass up based on upside. The running game will be healthy and will be strong. The only weakness I see has nothing to do with football, it lays in the lap of star Running Back, Reggie Bush. That's right, Kim Kardashian's ass. If you though Jessica Simpson was bad for business last year (Cowboys), this is the second coming, if not worse. Jessica's hot, but standard hot, blonde blue eyed, tan, pretty standard for a hot chick. Kim on the other hand has a deadly weapon, her backside is something else! I can't believe that thing exists! On an Armenian girl no less! Inchess assess arrives before she does. Aside from that I think the Saints, if everyone stays out of trouble and the right moves are made will be marching in to the Superbowl, See you in February...
Others in consideration: Patriots obviously, Stealers and Vikings, look for these 4 to be the last teams standing come January.
