Queen, Indeed, the Cowcissies made me sick the last two weeks, but I'm hoping the Minnesota Vikings will cure my ailment this weekend.

I'm hearing Tiger Woods is in Hattiesburg right now getting treated for his addiction. I wish him the best and know as a man he has a hard journey to travel considering those sex dealers, peddlers and throwers are everywhere, and that has always been the case. When will we finally become a civilized country and start going after the dealers instead of just the users.

Oh yeah, the Saints are getting ready to do that job very shortly. I'm worried because of all those points Arizona scored last week in beating Green Bay, Warner has a quick release (although he runs slower than molasses thru a needle-head), and I don't know that the Saints have a pass rush sufficient enough to stop the train coming their way. Anyway, I'll be looking and hoping for a victory on the Saints' behalf. We only need one team down this way to win. I personally need the team the next state over in Texas to lose. If the Houston Texans ain't in it, I want the rest of Texas out of the hunt. Damn the Cowboys and Dallas too.
