Peter King MMQB? (1 Viewer)

[HailStateSaintsFan]

Hey, can anyone post a recap or a link to Peter King's MMQB? I can't get to cnnsi.com at work because of the lingerie thing. However, if the full URL is posted for HIS MMQB, I can get to that. Help? I want to see what he has to say. If it is only a small bit, a teaser paste will do if it covers his whole Saints comment as long as it is not a violation of the TOS.

Thanks!

He didn't write much about the Saints this week. He does have them as #1 in his fine fifteen.

Thanks guys! I still couldn't use the link here at work. They have started blocking it because of the cheerleader pics. That is what happens if you teach. They are blocking everything these days.

Here you go!

1. New Orleans (6-0). Thirty-six points in the second half on the road. Did you get that? Thirty-six. That's almost as many Viagra/Cialis commercials you see in an average Sunday. When FOX scanned the Miami bench with 40 seconds left, the players looked like 36 trucks had just run them over.

Quote of the Week I "There was no doubt on our sidelines that we would come back and win.''
-- New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, after the Saints rallied from a 24-3 first-half deficit to beat Miami 46-34.
There was a lot of doubt elsewhere, buddy.

MVP Watch
2. Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans. "Drew Brees is my MVP so far,'' said Tony Dungy, the man who coached Peyton Manning until last January.

Factoid That May Interest Only Me
I guess I don't mind foreign football, though I have doubts it will work. But if I were a fan in Miami, New Orleans or Tampa in the past three years, I'd have a big problem with it.
The New England-Tampa Bay game Sunday in London was a home game for the Bucs. The Bucs haven't hosted the Patriots in a regular-season game in Tampa Bay since 1997, and under the current scheduling format, which calls for NFL teams to play at out-of-conference foe at home once every eight years, the Patriots won't be in Tampa 'til 2017. Tom Brady will be 40 then. Who knows? He may still be playing, but I'd bet Brady will never play a regular season game in Tampa, ever.
Two years ago, the league moved Miami's home game with the Giants -- likely the only Giants-Dolphins game in Miami 'til 2015 -- to London. That would make it a full generation, 19 years, between Giants games in south Florida.
And when the Chargers played the Saints in London last year, it meant no San Diego trip to Louisiana until 2016. So Saints fans in New Orleans will never get to see LaDainian Tomlinson.
What I'd suggest: The league should stop scheduling cross-conference games for foreign soil, or limit them. The Tampa fan probably wouldn't miss an Atlanta game nearly as much as he'd miss Brady's only appearance ever in Raymond James Stadium.

Mods, I hope this is not too much as per the "teaser" allotment of copying/pasting.

PK explained a few weeks ago that he writes his features at the top of MMQB almost exclusively about the noon games because he has to prepare for his NBC show and doesn't watch the 3 pm games closely enough to write about them.
