Saints/Cardinals Live Thread

[ControlJunkie]

Anyone watching the Saints/Cards game? Though the Steelers are my team, I gotta pull for the hometown team. Saints are looking pretty good so far. My thoughts so far:

• When I die, can someone arrange for Morgan Freeman to narrate a video montage of any highlights of my life? I'd be eternally grateful. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, see the new Visa commercial with him talking about Dan Jansen).
  
• I havent seen Reggie Bush look this good since college. A lot of people I know havent been big on him for most of his career. Today might change their minds.
  
• I have a newfound respect for Jeremy Shockey. Since his days with the Giants, I always had a bad impression of him because of his decision to mingle in the press box (during the playoffs and Super Bowl in '08) instead of being on the sideline with the team. Today he's playing hurt, and he's showing a lot of guts, and he's playing well despite his injury.
  
• The NFL's rules that protect the QBs have gone overboard. Pathetic. They severely restrict the ability to play defense. The roughing the QB call against the Saints a few minutes ago was ridiculous, and it overturned a Darren Sharper interception. A penalty that has no effect on the turnover nullifies it. Pure trash.

I'll be posting live as the game goes on. Feel free to share your thoughts...

This one ended as soon as Kurt Warner got hurt. Probably wouldn't have made much of a difference with him, but I think it might've been closer. Either way, they weren't getting Fitzgerald the ball enough for them to win. Getting him the ball is the only way they were going to keep up with the Saints offense.

This Saints team is an absolute blast to watch for any football fan.
