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.

     Big Daddy searches for old Beach Boys records to heal these bad vibrations engulfing New Orleans following Sunday’s unacceptable outcome. Saints Beat asks for U.S. Rep. Bill Jefferson’s assistance, recaps the Atlanta game, reports fan reactions at the Kingpin, questions the Saints’ lack of focus, predicts probable NFC playoff teams, and releases his World-Famous Pregame Information.

     Big Daddy’s hood has turned into a free admission demolition derby by repeated auto accidents attributed to short-sighted city planning on Prytania between General Pershing and Marengo turns . Unfortunately, crash victims suffer unnecessary injuries because of inadequate local leadership. Residents deserve safer driving conditions, erecting a traffic light at Marengo, plus more visible stop signs on Gen. Pershing and Milan would alleviate the problem. Mayor Nagin’s busy Dallas lifestyle occupies all of his time, so of course receiving help from C. Ray would be harder than getting local teens to pull up their pants.

     Big Daddy dives into real Bar-B-Q (not that Kansas City-style s**t) enjoying the Saints’ first road win, though the ‘W’ comes at the expense of a cream puff softer than the 1980 Saints; we’ll take it. This week Big Daddy's Saints Beat wonders if Lee Zurik has proper protection, reports more Kingpin news, appreciates Mayor Ray Nagin, recaps the Kansas City game, glances over the NFC wildcard race, says goodbye to an old friend, and releases his World Famous Pregame Information.

     Big Daddy asks which blog readers were addicted to the Soprano’s? Lee Zurik must not have had HBO? Remembering the serial, Tony Soprano’s organization always faced numerous legal challenges, but the Feds never screwed with Tony’s sanitation operation. Recently Lee Zurik pinpointed New Orleans City Hall (Mayor Nagin) cronyism surrounding The New Orleans Affordable Homeownership Corporation (NOAH) post-Katrina practices. Currently, WWL-TV Channel 4’s Lee Zurik 4 Investigates report focuses on SDT Waste and Debris Services alleging multiple improprieties. Jesus, Lee! There is alotta water around here; hope you have influential friends. If not, make sure the insurance premiums are paid up.
