Big Daddy's Saints Beat reveals his NBA playoff predictions, recaps Tulane-LSU game, wonders who's kicking for the Saints this week, examines the NFC playoffs, gives a special election report, bonus coverage from Widespread Panic's Halloween Show, and releases his world famous pregame information.
Chris Paul picked up where he ended last Summer, opening the season as the Western Conference player of the week. Watching early season games throughout the league, Big Daddy noticed San Antonio seems a step slower; however, Houston poses the biggest threat to the Hornets repeating as Southwest Division Champs. Free agent acquisition James Posey bolsters the bench strength, anything less than an appearance in the Western Conference Finals would be disappointing; but defeating the Los Angeles Lakers depends on the powers that be.
Who remembers the '02 Sacramento/LA Western Conference Finals? Unbelievably biased calls in crucial situations favoring the Lakers ended the Kings championship dreams. The shameful actions perpetrated by league refs allowed huge media-market Los Angeles to unfurl another banner in the rafters, while small-market Sacramento went home empty-handed losers. Big Daddy predicts a Boston-Los Angeles rematch creating incredible ratings on TNT and NBC, increased fan interest nationally, produces unwarranted accolades for the NBA's underhanded, scumbag commissioner, David Stern.
Recapping the Tulane-LSU game, Charles Scott's power running put LSU in front 7-0 on their opening drive. Though LSU manhandled Tulane throughout the game, the Tigers lacked focus. The overmatched Greenie squad capitalized on LSU's lackadaisical effort hanging tough all night. Preoccupied by next week's foe, former Baton Rouge playboy, Nick Saban (he loves rich women who's husbands are in jail) revisits Tiger Stadium Saturday bringing his team du jour (Alabama) to town. Jarrett Lee's horrible pick six late in the game made the final score an unimpressive 35-10, sending LSU pregame investors home broke and pissed off.
Coach Payton, why is your beef with kickers? Changing kickers will not improve flawed tactics. No body cares about failed football philosophy anymore, your losing style tortures Saints fans worldwide. Halfway through another underachieving season, Big Daddy demands much more. Since you can't call plays, hire an offensive coordinator. Knowing you missed a golden opportunity with Matt Forte, someone make sure Coach Payton reads this memo concerning next year's draft: Charles Scott is the nation's best running back. Coach Payton please re-educate the coaching staff, players, and yourself watching game tapes of the Giants, Titans, and Steelers. Learn playing physical football consistently wins NFL games.
Crescent City voters knowing the pertinent Constitutional Right (innocent until proven guilty), shocked the world again re-electing the honorable Bill Jefferson. During his riveting acceptance speech, Mr. Jefferson told constituents it was a magical night, touting his wonderful post Katrina deeds representing District 2. Big Daddy thinks magical incorrectly describes his victory, several more colorful expletives came to mind. Saints Beat sources confirmed Teflon Bill faces tough times ahead. Hopefully, Wild Bill possesses better tricks than the old freezer gag, otherwise, he’ll be the treat in prison. By the way, did anyone catch the Southpark Presidential Election episode? Epic!
Attending Widespread Panic Halloween Night was totally awesome. Who eats Halloween chocolate? I do; I do. Tailgating before that show created unmatched euphoria. The raucous costumed revelers enjoyed a rockin' show, well thought-out CCR covers (Born On The Bayou and Proud Mary) had the Lakefront Arena rolling hard. Helping close the show, Trombone Shorty assisted Panic's Brown Sugar encore leaving the wild crowd in ecstasy.
