Has Katrina ended the Saints season before it started? There is a reason why they use the phrase, "home field advantage?" The Saints have already had to move practices, and possibly, they will have to play some or all of their home games at another facility. Add to that the fact that, the majority of their home town fan base has been displaced by the loss of their homes. Will these factors negatively effect the Saints on the field? Will this hurt the franchise? (lost revenue, etc.)

Quite honestly, I don't even know why we are even talking about the Saints! The people of New Orleans should be the major concern for everyone, at this point who cares where they have to play. They will come out of this disaster on point, but will the people who support their team each and every year????.... I have to wonder.

A message from God to athletes, footballers, golfers tennis players and anyone else that ever thanked Him in a victory speech.
posted by JJ at 04:23 AM on August 09
I think that we need to keep this in prospective. The athletes should be thanking God for the exceptional talent that he has given them. Not for a win! Not everyone is given that type of talent, all God asks for is a little acknowledgement for what he has given. Personally though I really don't know what even posessed the writer to compose the article.???????? Who cares.

Breaking news: Raffi suspended!? USA Today/ and ESPN reporting 10 day suspension for violatiion of MLB drug policy. At last, a big name gets caught! And he looked so believable in front of congress!

Well, well I guess everyone who doubted Jose Conseco's tell all book should probably take a better look at the truth! I knew that it would just be a matter of time before someone would get caught up in a lie. What an ass Raffi made of himself in front of congress and baseball fans every where. Raffi has made MLB look stupid with his comment that he doesn't know how the roids got into his system, what a joke. Maybe there should be stiffer punishment for those who testified in front of congress and end up eating their words. Liar!!!!!!! The truth eventually comes to light every time. The light is now shinning on Raffi, who's next?.....

McNabb insists he has no issues with T.O. Why not ? He should , matter of fact he should be pissed as hell . As leader of the Eagles offense he should take exception to having anyone on the team holding up the chances of fullfilling the objective of the squad , which is winning the Super Bowl . Although Owens did play a great game considering being out 6 weeks with a leg injury it was McNabb and the rest of the team who played every game getting into the championship game . Jumping on one player for being tired or sick at the end of the game was just childish and uncalled for . There are many plays during a game that if just one had come out differently then maybe the Eagles wouldnt have been behind at the end trying to catch up . A defensive play may have kept the Patriots from scoring and would never had been in that position , whos to say . Of course this is Owens we are talking about with a long history of immaturity . Grow up T.O. , the Eagles made it to the Super Bowl while you sat on the bench so maybe your not as important as you think ,now if the Eagles can just get themselves to believe it .

Listen, who cares if T.O. and McNabb don't get along! They are paid millions of dollars a year to perform at there best. I guarantee that it will be business as usual. Although, the media is going to blow the whole thing out of proportion. Please, Let's Get Ready For Football! I do believe however if T.O. is traded by some chance there will be shit to say, on both sides!

Hines Ward plans to hold out and this, for me, is very disappointing. While many of the other wideouts, like TO, seem to be money grubbing, trash-talking idiots, Ward always came across as a "team man". News has the Steelers offering him a contract that would have made him the highest paid player in the history of the organization-and he turned it down!

Business is Business! Pay the man what he is rightfully owed. I will definetly hate to see Hines sit out, but the Steeler organization knows that they owe this man way more than what they offered him. Not only that, but Hines is a geniunely good guy, excellent player, and teammate. He IS about the Steelers, it's just to bad that the organization doesn't feel the same way. I stand with Hines all the way if he doesn't get what he deserves, I will be highly disappointed if he doesn't play......... Business as usual.

'Regretful' Ricky apologizes to fans, Dolphins When asked why he decided to return to the NFL, Williams hesitated: "Why? Why? I don't know," he said, prompting snickers. "I've been away doing my own thing, studying a lot of alternate theories about life. To go into that answer - it can't be picked up in a sound byte or easily understood. So the best way I can think of to put it is that I'm back here to work." One word: MONEY.

I think it's wonderful that Ricky Williams is back! Not only is it good for the Dolphin's but damn it is a beautiful sight to watch a man who not only looks good but knows how to take it to the end zone! This decision for the dolphins is one I am almost positive that they won't regret. Who cares why he has decided to come back, maybe it is for the money but his exceptional talent out weighs EVERYTHING! Please don't be a hater nation for a man who just wanted to find peace within himself and the earth. Let's get ready for FOOTBALL!

rcade, I am quite aware that this is a sport site but, do you honestly think that the people of New Orleans are READY FOR FOOTBALL?????? Da! These people have lost family members,friends, homes, pets etc. I also am sure that there are some players who are concerned about their loved ones as well. Give me a damn break, how can anyone be ready for football with such a disaster going on. One week is not going to cut it, New Orleans has a long hardship in front of them.
