The Saints local newspaper adds insult to injury, per say.

They had to try to knock Cam Newton out of the game to win, and even after that and an atrocious intentional grounding call they still barely won. You would think they blew us out. Hey, let them talk, it will only make their downfall that much sweeter to bask in.

this is also something of a reflection of the differences between the two markets

is there a question whatsoever what the pro football team in that city is?  do you think there are radio talk shows in new orleans that look on the saints with detached amusement at best or full-on trashing them at worst?  because that definitely happens in print and sports radio in and around charlotte. 

yesterday i had to step into a business that shared a wall with a bar next door.  they had the game on like every other establishment with a TV would.  i was streaming the game on my phone through NFL mobile so it was probably a minute and a half or two behind the TV broadcast.  i saw gano miss the chip shot and groaned, and then the people next door freaking erupted seconds later.  i thought something huge must have happened-panthers pick six, scoop and score, something like that.  no, it was a bar full of saints fans reacting to the ginn touchdown.

Yeh,.. I’m going to say that’s something we would say when we were beating them on a regular basis.

they beat us 3 times in the same season and out of the playoffs— 

so ok.

they are still a dirty ghetto team and I hope the Vikings do to them what Ragnar did to the first church town they took the first season,..

”it was like fighting Babies”

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
