Jeremy Shockey doubtful, Darren Sharper probable

[BOSSHOG]

for Sunday's Game. That word out this afternoon from Saints Camp.

[JonLP24]

1. You know what an intriguing match-up is?

Darren Sharper vs Brett Farve. They were teammates at Green Bay for 7 years so they should be very familiar with how each other plays.

[BOSSHOG]

2. Its getting HOT in the Big Easy

I bet Shockey will play, but just a little like he did last weekend, but that was good enough for a wounded duck TD.

Lot of conflict in Who Dat Land. Everybody loves the Saints and Everybody loves Favre. Oh they'll be for the Saints 100%, they just wish they were playing somebody besides a neighbor.

[JonLP24]

3. Could be some conflict with Farve

He mentioned at one time or another he grew up a Saints fan. LOL. :)

Doubtful is pretty good indicator he is not playing, only player I know of to play with a doubtful designation this season is Mike Sims-Walker and that was against Miami where he was very ineffective.

[BOSSHOG]

6. Yeah

His home town (Kiln Mississippi) a very small spot on the map is about 60 miles from New Orleans. The Saints have the gulf coast as their fan base although the Cowboys do a good job of hedging into Northwest Louisiana for fans.

[JonLP24]

15. You sir are correct

Pregame reports indicate Shockey will play.

9. This is my dream for this NFC championship game.....

Bertt is driving the queens for the winning score when he throws up the ball, INT!!! Darren Sharper catches it, runs it back for a TD and the Saints win 28-27!!! GO SAINTS GO!!! :toast: :bounce: :thumbsup: :fistbump: :headbang: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Dinger]

10. Mine To a kennedy My Friend!!!

GO SAINTS GO!!!!!!!!!!:bounce: :toast: :headbang: :yourock:

[Bluzmann57]

11. That would be perfect!

Just as in Atlanta, Green Bay and NJ, his (potentially) last pass with the franchise is an interception which costs them the Super Bowl, just like in Green Bay. The vikings qb is the all time int. leader after all. No reason to think he's going to change now. GO SAINTS!

[Goblinmonger]

13. He has changed, though

Look at his interception numbers this year compared to others.

[Bluzmann57]

14. Yeah

And as a Packer fan, I have to wonder what happened? Was the qb trying to throw games? Was he just a stupid red neck who in actuality had no use for the most loyal fans in the NFL? Questions to which we'll never know the answers. The hell with the vikes qb. I hope that when he's 50, he wakes up in the middle of the night to take a leak, and finds that he can't walk across the room without dragging his bum leg behind him, muttering, "I should have stayed retired."

[BOSSHOG]

16. Thats

not a very nice sentiment. It seems you would be glad he's gone from Green Bay. Proof of tossing games? Proof that GB fans are the most loyal? If we won't know the answers why ask them? When he's 50 he'll probably be starting for Dallas.

[Bluzmann57]

17. Nice means nothing

Packer fans are the most loyal. And I doubt if he threw games in Green Bay, I just think he ran the offense because, as it seems to be in Minnesota, nobody had enough cajones to stand up to him and say "Enough". When he's 50, he likely will be playing. He's that much of an egomaniac.

[BOSSHOG]

19. Okay TRUMAD

give me some stats. You say the Packers fans are the most loyal. Prove it. Packers fans wish Favre would have stayed. He left. You whined. Why did he leave? Jesus fucking christ. As the Packers Turn. All My Packers. The Young and and Packerless. You got a great QB and yet you whine.

[TZ]

4. Hmmm

Could be another interesting conflict if the SB is Colts vs. Saints, considering how much the Manning family is respected down there...

[BOSSHOG]

5. You right there TZ

The Manning family is royalty in NOLA, (King Archie and Queen Olivia) But Daddy Archie said he will cheer for his sons before he would cheer for the Saints and that is perfectly understandable. Peyton and Eli (and older Brother Coop) all played High School football in New Orleans. Coop supposedly the best football player of the three, but he has some wierd back disease.

If the Saints win Sunday, Who dat will be drunk for two weeks.

[Poiuyt]

7. What is it with the Manning boys names?

Coop, Peyton, Eli? What's next, Trig?

[JonLP24]

8. Those names are pretty common

I've known many people with the names Peyton, Eli, and Cooper(which is what Coop is short for). I never known anyone named Trig.

[Condem]

12. There was a fellow by the name of Peyton Manning ....

...on the staff of General James Longstreet in the Civil War. I'm pretty sure he was from New Orleans, also. Yeah, Just found the link.

[waiting for hope]

18. May I offer you some relief?

Who Dat!

[a kennedy]

20. Hey waiting for hope,

good game, and congratulations!! :toast: :bounce: :thumbsup: :fistbump: :headbang: :woohoo: :applause: good luck in Miami!!

[waiting for hope]

21. Thank you - it's going to be tough ,,

Peyton is a hometown boy that the fans love - but those Saints, bless them boys, they did good! :woohoo:

[madinmaryland]

22. Hey Boss! You OK?? Just check in and say hello!

:hi:

[Condem]

23. Fuck. I don't know how BOSS does it , mad.

When I'm watching my team ( yessir, the HAWKS), I can't drink.. I get too intense. Now, after the game..different story.

[madinmaryland]

24. Hell, condem. It kind of levels me out during the game, unless the Boys win.

Now I watched the Dallas/Minnesota game without drinking and was totally stressed!

It didn't help I was with my sister who was rooting for the Vikings and her husband (he was not there) is an Iowa grad and Viking Fan.

:hi:

[JonLP24]

25. I rarely drink

The day before the Vikings/'Boys game I was invited by my friend(who happens to be a Cowboys fan) of several years to go to Hooters with his friends who were there to watch the Cards/Saints. I ordered a few beers and I got a pretty good buzz going into the second quarter and normally I would be really stressed and hollering but I was laughing at the missed the tackles and the way the Saints were scoring at will. It was so bad I couldn't help it. After the Reggie Bush punt return for a TD I was rolling.and knew the game was over. We left a few seconds after that and spent a short time at his place after that.

[madinmaryland]

27. You were "watching" football at Hooters? Heh!

I didn't know that was possible!

[JonLP24]

29. Ha.....owl eyes

Nah I was there for the game. When he asked me if I wanted to come I told him I was going to watch the game at 2(AZ time) which prompted him to let me know which is what they were there for.

It was pretty neat. The game was shown on a large projector. It was full of Cards fans but there was a table in the corner where there was a Steelers fan, Cowboys fans, and a Saints fan all rooting for the Saints. :grr:

[Condem]

30. Hey, Jon.

Happy and I are talking about coming to the desert in September. We play AZ the third week. Have a professor friend who teaches at UA. Don't know if you could sit through a piece of shit Wildcat game, though.

[JonLP24]

31. I can do it

I'll be a big time Iowa fan that day. It will be fun.

[madinmaryland]

32. Uh, Yeah, sure! You were there for the TITS!!!!

:rofl:

:hi:

[Condem]

26. Stressed?!?! How 'bout a better word?

Totally focused. You start seeing how things work. As I say, the ebb and flow of the game. Plays that don't seem big at the time but turn out to be huge in the end. In the Saints game, last night. That goofball for the Saints falls on the ball instead of trying to pick it up...that was a 14 point swing. Just the beauty of the game. Can't let alcohol get in the way. Now, when the game is finished... the stress needs to be relieved. Time for a couple of cold ones.

[madinmaryland]

28. No. Stressed is the word.

A few drinks help keep me focused during the game. The HD TV helps also!
