New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was the special guest of Tahlia Hinrichs this morning. Brees, to the surprise of Hinrichs, arrived at the first-graders’ home before the start of the school and met her family and then escorted her to school, Saint Francis Xavier School in Metairie, in a limousine. The stunned Hinrich was selected in a blind draw as part of the NFL’s Take A Player...
THE FIRST HALF of the NFL season in a nutshell: Offensive MVP Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. He and the other leading candidate, the Saints' Drew Brees, have put up practically identical numbers.

Save the Texans and the Giants, every team in the NFL has reached the midpoint of their schedule, so now seems an acceptable to time to look back on the first half of the 2009 NFL season and dole out a few meaningless awards. Let's go! MVP - (tie) Peyton Manning/Drew Brees Flip a coin. Maybe one team falls off some in the second half of the year, and then you can give it to the other guy. At this point,...

Xtreme Machine gets Brett Favre: Warbirds gets Steven Jackson: Not only is Brett Favre playing well, he's playing like the guy he was 15 years ago. Playing behind the best offensive line in football, with the best RB in football behind, Favre is setup for success and it taking advantage of it. He's an MVP candidate with 16 TDs and 3 INTs at the mid way point of the season. Favre also has a very favorable...
The Carolina Panthers lost perhaps their most productive defensive player Monday when tests showed weakside linebacker Thomas Davis has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Davis' season-ending injury came without getting hit in Sunday's loss to New Orleans. He was backpedaling when his knee buckled and he crumpled to the turf as Drew Brees threw a 17-yard pass to Pierre Thomas in the...

Fall in 14-point hole, then claim 8th straight win Drew Brees and the Saints' prolific offense never had to play from behind in their first five games.

It’s the first meeting of the season for these two NFC South rivals who split the series in 2008 with the home side winning each contest straight-up and against the spread. The undefeated Saints (6-0) are one of only two remaining...
It’s a battle between the two teams of the NFC South, Falcons 4-2 and the Saints 6-0. With a Saints win against the Falcons would tie the Saints with their 7-0 best start in 1991 With a team rallying behind a hot Drew Brees it’s easy to see how they can be 6-0. But that’s not all of what their success has been based on this year. It’s been defense, they probably have the best defense the franchise...
