     Sunday’s 3 o’clock start allowed Big Daddy extra time to properly prepare for a tough road test. Monday morning smiles around the Big Easy has made work so much easier as the Saints continue marching through the NFL almost as quick as than Mayor C. Ray Nagin accepts free first class vacations to Hawaii and the Bahamas from “friends.” In this week’s edition of Saints Beat, Big Daddy reports from the Kingpin, applauds David Vitter's morality, recaps the Buffalo game, embraces Sean Payton’s decision, criticizes public officials, and releases his World famous Pregame Information.

     The Kingpin set the stage for another mind-blowing experience, as the Saints ascended into the NFC South’s top spot. New Orleans Country Club Banquet Chef David “Fine Dinin’ Dave” Wright laid out an outstanding six course meal worthy of Crescent City royalty, which consisted of slow cooked (12 hours) beef brisket, smashed potatoes, ranch-style baked beans, cornbread muffins, cold slaw, and homemade chocolate chips cookies. The Kingpin’s diehard Saints fans always pack the city’s finest venue to yell for the Black ’n’ Gold. Waiting for reasons to explode, the raucous crowd utilized Dave’s awesome eats to fuel deafening eruptions. Rivaling Section 645 insanity, Pierre Thomas’s deal sealing run rocked Uptown so hard that unsuspecting yats felt the tremors in Chalmette. Intense emotional outbursts create unforgettable memories which remind us that living life to the fullest defines a truly great human existence.

     Sunday’s rain showers didn’t slow down Black ’n’ Gold tailgaters readying themselves for battle. Entering the Superdome, Big Daddy encountered Jets fans displaying their typically rude, loud-mouthed New York attitudes, demonstrating why many despise New Yorkers. Cocky Jets fans’ relentless attempts to diminish Who Dat intensity were less effective than the Army Corps’ levees. After the Saints forced Jets fans to “eat it!” all day, those Yankees had nothing to say. In this week’s edition of Saints Beat, Big Daddy denounces Mayor C. Ray Nagin, reports from Section 645, recaps the New York Jets game, laughs at the NFL’s new policy, covers the 15th annual Gretna Heritage Festival, and release his

     Big Daddy felt more dazed and confused than Guantanamo Bay detainees suffering through a week without Saints football. LSU failed to fill the enormous void, thanks to awful play-calling and a pathetic performance by quarterback Jordan Jefferson. As LSU tailgating reached an apogee, the Tiger faithful hoped for another memorable night in Death Valley. Unfortunately, Jefferson’s reaction time was slower than that of George W. Bush when aides told him the nation was under attack. Thank the sweet Lord Jesus for Drew Brees. In this week’s edition of Saints Beat, Big Daddy covers President Obama’s visit, critiques Florida Head Coach Urban Meyer, recaps the Florida/LSU game, analyzes LSU Head Coach Les Miles, trashes today’s officiating, reminisces the night of September 29,1979, and releases his

     Big Daddy has a new appreciation for Frank Sinatra's famous New York, New York hit after the Saints completed their domination of the New York triangle. First they sent Buffalo to a watery grave over Niagara Falls, then put the Jets into an uncontrollable tall spin, and finally turned those scary Giants into frozen peas. Are you smiling, Big Daddy can't stop laughing out loud. In this week’ s edition of Saints Beat, Big Daddy covers President Obama’ s Crescent City visit, recaps the Giants’ game, reports from Section 645, checks out “Steven Seagal’ s Lawman,” and releases his World Famous Pregame Information.

     President Barack Obama finally brought Air Force One back to the Chocolate City for a whirlwind 3.5 hour visit. President Obama stopped in briefly at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Charter School to encourage the students to “be the best they can be.” Do you think any of those students’ parents held their children out of school that day? Obama’s motorcade then made its way to UNO for a town hall meeting. The president introduced everyone on the stage including Gov. Bobby Jindal, who got booed out of the arena— that was funny. Mayor C. Ray Nagin even flew in from Dallas for the event. Obama promised to rebuild the region and Big Easy stronger than before, but he actually focused more on his health care agenda. Strangely, unlike prior presidents, he didn’t enjoy a sit down meal in the food capitol of the world. Instead the pres requested a fantastic to go meal from the legendary local chef Leah Chase. Her incredible menu included: jambalaya, gumbo, shrimp Creole, and, of course, fried chicken to satisfy the chief executive’s hunger pains. Thank goodness the local stations aired Obama’s speech because CNN and Fox News decided to broadcast the Falcon “The Balloon Boy” Heene hoax. Don’t you love today’s sensationalism? Walter Cronkite is rolling over his grave. Americans should demand excellence from journalists, but they’d rather hear out about the new tattoo on Brittney Spears’ ass.

     The Saints unbelievably exciting come-from-behind victory forces Big Daddy to start working on his Super Bowl Shuffle, preparing for the Black ’n’ Gold’ s next visit to South Beach— in early February. Boy, things looked bleak until Drew Brees’ touchdown just before halftime sparked an amazing turn of events. Having a record of 5-0 following our destruction of the vaunted Giants felt great, but the Saints late afternoon fish fry had Little Havana muttering all sorts of Cuban expletives. In this week’ s edition of Saints Beat, Big Daddy describes the Kingpin’ s atmosphere, recaps the Miami game, reports the action from South Beach, covers the AC/DC concert, asks for the community’s help, and releases his
