Great stuff in both.

Have you surprised yourself with the transition?

Cam is so awesome. Man, I can't even imagine what this team would be like if we didn't draft him.

A punt is not bad in all instances

from rivera...

We're like that little brother in the neighborhood that everyone picks on and beats up but eventually that little brother gets bigger. Then when you get bigger you start beating everyone else up. We're going to grow and develop and we're going to take our lumps, but eventually we're going to learn how to fight back and when that happens I really think we can take off and have some real good things happen for us."

Good reads.

Impressive interview

If Cam Newton handles the Saint's defense as well as he handles the press corps, the Saint's may be in a world of trouble. This game has me worried. Carolina has traditionally played us some very tough games, and I expect this game to be no different. After the two quick touchdowns against Jacksonville, the offense seemed to lack a sense of urgency the rest of the game. The Saint's can't afford to repeat that against Carolina. I'm expecting another high scoring game.

Smart kid..

Smart kid. He says all the right things. I've been very impressed with him so far. The Saints D better be ready, this dude is for real...and damn he's big . Everyone knows that the Saints track record with rookie QB's isn't that great, and this isn't your run of the mill rookie QB.. Better not try to sleep walk their way through this one. They gave Green Bay all they wanted... I'm sorry, but I'm little worried about this game.

Bahaha the Aint's are scared

I understand his passion to win the game, but this is the nfl, you're not going to win every game. How's that feel 07 Patriots? UMAD!?

Enjoyed reading the comments, Saints fans realize they are in the presence of greatness.

This is such a loser mentality. I understand what some people say when they say this fanbase accepts mediocrity.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Do you recall the Saints picking him in the third round raising eyebrows around the league?

"I was in San Diego and I saw what Antonio Gates was capable of. The Houston Texans took the kid from Cincinnati that played basketball so I think to a degree there was a carry over as far as with the athleticism that you need to play certain positions. Certainly we've seen that at tight end as a position you can have success with if you played basketball. I guess also with a pass rushing defensive end like we've seen with the young man with the Houston Texans."

a.k.a.

Reporters: Isn't Jimmy Graham the greatest TE of all time? Aren't the Saint's geniuses for drafting him in the 3rd round? Aren't they the smartest people evah?!

Rivera: Meh.

[Cat'sGrowl]

I like how Rivera just doesn't roll over to these clowns when they wanna talk about how great they are.

Question: Isn't Greer just the bestest corner ever?

Rivera: Sure, he's fine, but lemme tell you about our guy...

Dude rocks.

I can. We saw it last season.

Basically, there's just no way this group of people aren't bound to be big winners. Super Bowl hungry coach and superstar QB...this is going to be a legendary decade in Carolina and you just can't deny that between the potential shown on the field and the swagger shown off the field.
