REUNIONS IN NEW ORLEANS WITH HAZARDOUS SAINTS


THE (3-1) SAN DIEGO CHARGERS FLY INTO THE BIG EASY TO A DANGEROUSLY DESPERATE (0-4) NEW ORLEANS SAINTS TEAM

STORY LINES GALORE

1.   BREES AND SURPASSING JOHNNY UNITAS' 52 YEAR RECORD.
IF HE THROWS A TOUCHDOWN PASS HE WILL HAVE 58 CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITH AT LEAST ONE SCORING TOSS.  IF YOUR A SAINTS FAN, DO YOU EVEN CARE?? WHAT MOST LIKELY MAY OCCUR IS 4 PASS ATTEMPTS INSIDE THE RED ZONE, HOW DOES THAT SIT?  ONCE AGAIN DO YOU CARE? OR DOES THIS SEEM TO BE A SELFISH ACT?  DOES IT REALLY MATTER IF NEW ORLEANS LOSES??  YOU OPTING TO HAVE CELEBRATE YOUR QB AT THE COST OF THROWING ON YOUR PAPER BAG??  

2.   BREES AGAIN;   DEPENDING ON THE OUTCOME, IT WILL END UP MATCHING UP ONE OF TWO WAYS, OR MAYBE JUST ONE, SAN DIEGO COULD OF GONE TO THE SUPERBOWL HAD THEY NOT RELEASED A MENDING DREW BREES AND STARTED FRANCHISE QB PHILLIP RIVERS?

2B.   MORE BITTERNESS COULD CONTINUE  FOR SAN DIEGO FANS AT THE LOSS OF 5'2 SPECIAL TEAMS ANOMALY,DARREN SPROLES, THAT IS IF SAN DIEGO LOSES.

3.   ROBERT MEACHEM FIRST TIME BACK SINCE HE'S IN THE BLUE IN GOLD, IMPACT MAKER VS HIS OLD TEAM?

4.   TRAP GAME....
BUT WHAT WORRIES ME, IS THE POWER OF PASSION AND VOLATILITY THAT COMES WITH A SCARED ANIMAL BACKED INTO A CORNER.  A TEAM WHO HAS DISPLAYED VANILLA DEFENSE, LOTS OF DROPPED PASSES, INT'S, SOFT UPFRONT ON BOTH LINES. 
THE ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS ONCE AGAIN IS BEHIND THE 8 BALL SITTING WITH ZERO WINS AS WEEK FIVE COMES TO A CLOSE.  IF YOUR A CHARGER FAN THAT SHOULD SCARE YOU!

WITH AN INTERIM-TO-THE-INTERIM HEAD COACH, AARON KROMER IN DURING SEAN PAYTON'S ABSENCE, D COORD LOSS, PLAYER LOSS, BREES'  CONTRACT HOLD OUT MAY HAVE AIDED HIM DIVIDENDS AT THE BANK, BUT IT LEFT NO ROOM FOR ANY OTA'S, NO PRACTICE, NO GETTING ON THE SAME PAGE WITH RECEIVERS.   NOTED AS A COACH,  AMPLIFYING THE ABUNDANT WOES THIS TEAM HAS DEALT WITH.  HURRICANE 2012, BUT LET ME REMIND YOU HOW THEY CAME BACK ,FOUGHT AND WON THEIR FIRST SUPER BOWL IN FRANCHISE HISTORY #43.  

WITH LOTS OF DIVERSION IN THE BIG EASY, ONE CAN'T FORGET, THIS IS A WILD TEAM, AT HOME ALREADY RE-REFERENCES LOOMING AS THE "AINTS".   BROWN BAGS MAY BE COMING OUT, BUT I DON'T DOUBT THAT THE SAINTS PLAYERS WON'T DO EVERY AND ANYTHING POSSIBLE TO HALT AND BEGIN CLEANUP ON THE DISASTER THAT HAS COMMENCED THEIR 2012 SEASON.  EVEN SAINTS ANNOUNCERS STATING "THEY'LL BE NO MIRACLES FOR THE SAINTS SO FAR"  

GOOD LUCK AT THE MERCEDES-BENZ SUPER DOME ON SUNDAY NIGHT SAN DIEGO!!
WITH EVERY WIN IN THE NFL BEING A BIG DEAL AND NOT AN EASY FEAT.
THIS WIN  COULD BE MUCH BIGGER THAN CONCEIVABLY POSSIBLE, A SHOWING OF WHAT THIS TEAM IS TRULY ALL ABOUT, ESPECIALLY GOING IN HUMBLY AS 3-POINT UNDERDOG.
SHOULD BE A DYNAMITE GAME!

ROCKEM SOCKEM CHARGERS!

HOLD OUT PANS OUT FOR BREES

Drew Brees patience paid off in one hundred million, ten year contract.



Today he signed the biggest contract in the NFL.
MLB contracts that have loomed above us, A-Rod, ($275 Million for 10 years) and Alex Pujols $240 Million 10 year, now almost pale as the leading QB statistically has now set a new bar.  
Guaranteed 60 million for the 1st three seasons and $40 million for the 2012 season commencing Monday.

Now, remember professional baseball players play 161 games a season. 
NFL players play 16 games in the regular season.
So many looming rumors of his somehow attachment to the "Bounty Games",  that occurred in New Orleans, now just go the waysides....

Congratulations Mr. Brees, average salary $20M, (2012)
Followed by;

2. Peyton Manning: $19.2M (2012)3. (tie) Tom Brady: $18M (2010)3. (tie) Peyton Manning: $18M (2011)5. Julius Peppers: $16.7M (2009)6. Mario Williams $16.67M (2012)7. Eli Manning: $16.25M (2009)8. Calvin Johnson: $16.21M (2012)9. Carson Palmer: $16.17M (2005)10. Larry Fitzgerald: $16.14M (2011)

At least New Orleans has their QB locked in!
All a great buzz that the season is starting!!

Football is HERE!

BREES CROWNED WITH NEW RECORD

CONGRATULATIONS
TO
DREW BREES


Last night Drew Brees surpassed Dan Marino's single season passing record made in 1984.  5087 PASSING YARDS IN A SINGLE SEASON with one game left in the regular season!
Are you kidding!!!!

Ironically enough as, CHARGER fans looked on, it was broken by two former San Diego players.
The 9' TD pass to Darren Sproles, put Drew up on the Record books,  Marino's record for 27 years from back in his 2nd year in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins.

The league has changed as you know it has become a quarterback driven league, but still.........5084 PASSING YARDS!!

This accomplishment, as spoken by Brees in post game locker room was a total Saints Victory, from the equipment managers, coaches, owners, O-line, D-line, all the receivers and backs, no one was left out.

A class FULL gratitude speech from a special player.

Congrats Drew!

Many Charger fans continually are bitter that these 2 players were left out not to mention Michael Turner, also on the field last night.  I don't believe that Brees would have flourished as he has in New Orleans.  There is something special that happened in that city after Katrina.  I think of it as the Island of Misfit Toys:  Payton, Brees, Shockey and the city came together with chips on their shoulders, all rejected for some reason or another, some special ingredients..........& lots of LOVE.

The love wasn't here in San Diego, it couldn't be.....and as the phrase speaks,
Wasn't meant to be........


As for Michael Turner, LT was in great form and would have continued had it not been for the release of Lorenzo Neal, look at the stats!  Turner needed to be the #1 back, too!

Also on the note of Sproles, well, I'm right there with you!  He is NOT an up the middle back as was illustrated in last year at SD..........Boy are his returns missed!!.............Sean Payton has used his strengths, I think an ingredient he has done with the entire team....


CONGRATS AGAIN TO THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS &
CAPTAIN.....DREW BREES
