Saints sailing under a strong Brees
I always hope Saints fans use this joke “Knock knock” “Who’s there?” “Wendy” “Wendy who?” “Oh wendy Saints come marching on, oh when the Saints come marching on” but they probably don’t. It’s been a tough couple of seasons for Brees and crew competing in a very competitive NFC South,...

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for our weekly round-up of news as we head into the Week 2 games.
Week 1 Part 2
8 games down, 8 to go. What to expect? Clay Matthews open hand slapping, Eli not playing like his brother and cardboard pictures of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air
