The ESPN talking heads are scaring the shit out of me about the saints

CHOPTALK · Jan 15, 2007

All year long, the people at ESPN and NFL Network has been picking against the SAINTS. And all year long the SAINTS have made them look like idiots.

Now all of a sudden, these same talking heads that have been picking against my boys all year long are picking the Saints.

This scares the hell out of me.

Why cant they keep picking against them like they have done all year.
Its been a wonderful combination.

Talking heads pick the other team, Saints win.

Why leave a good thing alone now?

Everyone picked them last week as well. I know what you're saying though. Everyone was picking against the Eagles in their 3 game stretch of NFC East opponents on the road, and I was loving it.

The Saints are the Lock of the Millenium this weekend.

Because with the Chargers out, the Saints are the league's only hope that anyone other than hardcore football fans will give a crap about the Superbowl. And the people at ESPN may be dumb, but maybe they've caught on to how sports work.

I think the Colts still have alot of public appeal.

Nothing like New Orleans right now. ESPN would absolutely love an Indy/NO Super Bowl. They would be all over the Manning angle. I just love the fact that ESPN loves NO.
