Big Daddy Feels Great About Three Straight

Thu, 25 Nov 2010 12:02:07 PST

Coach Sean Payton Drew Brees seemed to find more offensive rhythm during the bye week, even though Reggie Bush was a late scratch. Big Daddy saw nothing but smiles out of his co-workers at the rock pile Monday morning singing the praises of Drew Brees’ 4 touchdown passes, while gloating over the Saints third consecutive time surpassing the 30 point barrier. After three convincing wins in row, National sportscasters continue to express their firm belief that the Falcons will win the NFC South, keeping the Black ’n’ Gold effectively flying under the radar as the calendar approaches December. Does that sit well with the Who Dat Nation? Big Daddy loves being the underdog, let the Dirty Birds enjoy limelight. Come December 27 Falcons fans high expectations crash due to broken wings inflicted by the Saints. In this edition of the

Big Daddy Gets Some R R

Wed, 24 Nov 2010 16:33:53 PST

Monday morning water cooler chatter at the rock pile was rather subdued compared previous weeks due to the Saints having a much needed week off in this year’s unpredictable NFL season. Co-workers most frequently asked questions were: What did you do in lieu of Saints football? Can the Saints “Repeat Dat?” Are you ready for a second half run? Big Daddy informed colleagues that he lightened his hectic schedule by teeing it up, and dropping a line in water in an effort to properly prepare his body and mind to produce the unimaginable intensity levels Big Daddy must create to help the Saints overtake Atlanta moving toward January’s NFL playoffs and Super Bowl XLV. Two convincing wins prior to the open date afforded Big Daddy and his posse way more wiggle room to let their hair down while the Black ’n’ Gold’s injured players continue to heal. Facing four tough road contests in a five week span after hosting Seattle this coming Sunday will require all hands on deck to come out of that stretch unscathed. In this edition of the

Big Daddy Cranks Up James Taylor

Tue, 23 Nov 2010 18:49:58 PST

Big Daddy can’t Carolina off his mind, can you? The Saints pummeled the Panthers so hard Sunday afternoon, Bank of America Stadium looked more like a church service instead of a football game. Carolina’s ineptness gives disgruntled fans in Western New York hope, because John Fox’s squad has wrestled the stigma of being the NFL’s worst team from Buffalo. Coach Sean Payton showed mercy on the lowly bunch by running up the score on the under-skilled bunch. Kansas City Head Coach Todd Haley must have appreciated the gesture, noticing how he reacted when Denver coach Josh McDaniels hung 49 points on the Chiefs. Is there a better way to enter the bye week than rolling into it with a 30-point blowout win? Big Daddy doesn’t think so, unless Remy Ayodele and the defense decide to party too hard during the break. In this edition of the

Big Daddy Rides Brees Avalanche to the Bottom

Sun, 31 Oct 2010 15:47:01 PDT

What emotion described your mood after Sunday’s Superdome debacle? Did you feel disappointed, humiliated, angry, or betrayed? Big Daddy felt so humiliated by the Saints half-hearted effort. Only Brett Farve understood Saints fans embarrassment after his wood-stroking photos surfaced on the internet. Several of Big Daddy’s co-workers revisited the Madden Curse theory, citing Drew Brees’ God-awful performance in which 2 of his 4 interceptions resulted in pick-sixes. Others wondered if Cleveland Head Coach Eric Mangini instructed former Saints Scott Fujita and Mike Bell (two integral pieces to last year’s Super Bowl Championship team) to hire a Voodoo priestess to cast an Early Halloween spell on Drew. One thing is certain, the Browns’ coach unleashed his bag of tricks on the Crescent City, soundly out coaching Sean Payton all afternoon. Saints fans can only pray that the Black ’n’ Gold will collect tons of treats come Halloween night when Pittsburgh comes to town. In this edition of the

Big Daddy Yearns For Balance

Sun, 17 Oct 2010 10:11:28 PDT

Somber was the way to describe Big Daddy’s workplace Monday morning. The Saints’ disheartening display in the desert produced a lot of frowns and slumped heads in the break room, all pondering what’s wrong with their Black ’n’ Gold idols. Job duties were pushed to the back burner as co-workers threw out theories trying to decipher how New Orleans went from a “We’re gonna kick your ass!” mentality last season to the “It’s hard to win in this league,” excuse we keep hearing this year. Supersticious colleagues believe the Madden Curse is affecting the Saints because of Drew Brees is on the cover of Madden 11. In recent years Dante Culpepper, Michael Vick, Troy Palomalo, and Shaun Alexander dealt with a myriad of problems after having the honor bestowed on them. Big Daddy hopes that won’t be the case for Drew. In this edition of the

Big Daddy Prefers Touchdowns

Sun, 10 Oct 2010 11:57:41 PDT

Does anyone have fingernails after last weekend? If there are any Saints fans who haven’t been contending with chest pains watching these close-to-the-vest games, they don’t have a pulse. The 2010 Saints remind Big Daddy of the Jim Mora era. Unlike now, those Saints owned the league’s best defense and Morten Andersen drilling clutch 3-pointers. Even though the battles usually came down to the wire, the “Dome Patrol” and the “Great Dane” gave Saints fans a sense of security. Injuries in both the offensive and defensive backfields have the Saints fans hoping Capts. Benjamin “Hawkeye” Pierce and John “Trapper John” McIntyre would bring their M*A*S*H* unit down to Saints Headquarters to patch up our beloved Black ’n’ Gold troops. Since Hawkeye and Trapper John aren’t coming, Big Daddy will just need to find that magical Leprechaun with a pot full of Valium until the Saints get back to full strength. In this edition of the

Big Daddy Says Two Out of Three Aint Bad

Thu, 07 Oct 2010 20:56:42 PDT

Fats Domino’s “Blue Monday” set the mood on the morning after Garrett Hartley’s horrid overtime duck hook. Big Daddy’s co-workers spent hours around the water cooler displaying fantastic armchair quarterbacking skills, and the brain-trust second guessed miscues that contributed to the Saints demise Sunday. Evidently, domination in the trenches disguises any ill-effects of “Dirty Birds” with broken wings. At least Saints fans have no problem questioning their team’s mistakes, unlike gullible LSU fans who praise Head Coach Les Miles Wednesday call-in show. Have you ever listened to that WWL radio show? If you’ve never heard sunshine being blown up someone’s ass, prepare to be awed by tuning in on hump day. Considering LSU’s pathetic offense, the positive feedback Les Miles receives either comes from paid actors, or the radio station only allows Miles’ closest friends and relatives to call the show. Incessantly patting him on the back and saying, “ you’re doing a great job— don’t change a thing,” seems like more BS than BP’s current ad campaign telling us how concerned they are about Gulf Coast recovery. In this week’s edition of the
