Are The New Orleans Saints Poised To Repeat As NFC Champs?

1 Comment

After the first month of the season, not many people thought that the New Orleans Saints would even be in this position. The odds makers, casual fans and experts that do Super Bowl gambling @ BetUS and examine the lines much earlier in the season than the rest of us, didn’t think it would happen.

The Saints, who are the defending Super Bowl champs, were just 4-3 after their first seven games. The bigger concern was that two of their three losses were inexcusable, losing to the Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns.

But to find the next Saints loss you’d have to fast forward a couple of months to December as the Saints pulled off a six-game winning streak in between and are now back in the playoff hunt.

The Saints have all but clinched a spot in the playoffs and now the questions shift towards the Super Bowl. Can they do it again?

This season has been very different for New Orleans, but it may have prepared them for a second straight run. They’ve dealt with injuries galore and had to learn about walking around with a big bulls-eye on their back as every opponent gunned to beat the Super Bowl champs.

And now that they have handled all of that adversity, they might be ready to flex their muscle one more time.

If there’s something that the Saints have learned during a trying 2010 season, it’s that execution is the key. No matter what else happens, if they can execute better than their opponent, they can win.

When you consider that only one other team that played in the NFC playoffs last year will return to the postseason this year, the Saints have a leg up. And considering their experience from last year combined with growth from this year, the Saints just might be poised for another Super Bowl appearance.

Over 350 pounds? Eat for free at the Heart Attack Grill

Leave a comment

2The Heart Attack Grill — a deliberately unhealthy Arizona restaurant where waitresses dressed as sexy nurses serve up Quadruple Bypass Burgers — has been a subject of controversy since Jon Basso, a former nutritionist and Jenny Craig employee, opened it in 2005. But the criticism grew louder recently after the restaurant hired customer Blair River to serve as its 590-pound pitchman. River’s 60-second spot (watch below) spoofs weight-loss ads and promises those who weigh over 350 pounds that they can eat for free. Continue reading Over 350 pounds?

Creepy Things Schools are Doing to Students

Leave a comment

Why do students have to use a hall pass? Because all schools enforce policies that don’t make much sense. What’s all this hubbub about hand raising, for instance? And, for the love of Mike, why can’t you enjoy a smoke in the privacy of the bathroom?

These problems have plagued kids for years. But today it’s worse than ever. Certain schools are enacting policies that are downright creepy…

 

1. Microchip Tracking

Leave it to the wild and crazy Brits to combine Harry Potter uniforms with James Bond technology. In England, a private school in South Yorkshire is tracking their students with microchips.

There are a few reasons for making these students wear RFID chips:

1. To correctly identify them
2. To determine if they’re on school grounds
3. To determine if they’re in their proper class
4. To easily reprogram them in the event of a robot war

Although it seems to make sense as a measure to combat ditching class, it also serves as a horrible invasion of privacy. The idea of bugging children makes students look and feel like inmates, when realistically only, say, 20% of them are headed in that direction.

Priests Arrested for Doing Weird Things

Leave a comment
It’s unfair and downright inaccurate to say that all Priests do is touch kids.. they also do other terrible, weird and horribly unlawful things. So, from masturbating in front of police to stalking late night show host Conan O’Brien, here are the top 8 weirdest, most shocking and downright WTF actions of priests in recent time.

1. Priest Fakes Illness, Steals $1.3 Million

1
Imagine you hate your job. Like really, really hate your job. And that you kind of look like Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino. You most likely would have the incentive to start a new career, or go back to school, or maybe volunteer.
For the honorable Rev. Kevin Gray of Waterbury, Conn., priesthood wasn’t exactly the most fulfilling of positions. So instead of parting ways with his parish and seek better pastures, he steals 1.3 million dollars over a period of seven years from the congregation.
And what did he spend it on? Male escorts in New York City, baby!
He was also spending around 50,000 dollars for things like Louis Vuitton goods and gym fees. He paid for the community college tuition of one of his male “payees” and he paid for piano lessons and veterinarian bills for another man he met in Central Park.
