This will get y'all fired up, thank ya Chris Rose... (1 Viewer)

[Hawkeye Saint]

I'm not a big fan of bandwagonners, if that's what he is--but I love this line:

"Please return your quarterback to his upright and locked position"

How can any Saints fan not love the idea of his (or her) team getting more sacks? Especially against a New York team? I'm just sayin' . . .

...And there are emergency exits located fore and aft of the endzones...

I like Chris Rose but this is a stretch.

I haven't heard any experts picking the Jets over the Saints. Everybody who knows anything about the NFL is saying the Saints are for real. Nobody is saying that we haven't "beaten anybody" yet.

Wins and Philly and Buffalo are tough wins and we have gotten mad props.

 

[St. Stebe]

Yeah the "hijack the Jets" quote may have been a little too much even if it's been 8 years since 9/11

He's refering to the New York media specificly rather than the national media in general.

How can one walk away from reading that article thinking he is not a SAINTS fan? You have to understand his writing style first, it's laced with sarcasm. That's what's funny. N/S related though, "One Dead in the Attic" by Rose is a great read that shows he is NOLA thru and thru despite being from Mid America originally.

Yep. Just what I was thinking.

Funny as heck. Go, airplanes, go!

For all those who think Chris Rose is not a BIG Saints fan, and is just bandwagoning, YOU MUST NOT BE FROM HERE! This guy writes in OUR local newspaper and has been writing articles on the Saints for years.

By the way, in case you didn't know, he is not a sports writer. He writes regular columns in the LIVING section.

Chris Rose is priceless!

 

[black&gold4life]

best thing i've seen all week

Great article. He pretty much hits the nail on the head regarding the East Rutherford Giants and Jets. And I'm not insulting East Rutherford, either. For one thing, there are at least two terrific restaurants there (Cafe Capri as well as the Park and Orchard).

 

[SAINT HOUSTON #1]

hey SaintBeau You or somebody should make a sign in the dome with that quote and display it after every sack! "Please return your quarterback to his upright and locked position" Priceless. I wish I could be there and carry that sign.

Rose is a yankee from Maryland. Before Katrina, he wrote high brow pieces on how much lint Britney Spears had in her navel. After Katrina, he wallowed in the misery of sacrificing his refrigerator.
I have seen more than enough to know who CRose is, thank you.

 

[FLIPPY]

Someone posted it on The Gang Green Jets board.....they think he's a sports writer..

He has lived and worked in New Orleans since the mid 80s. But still just labeled a "yankee from Maryland?" And that "wallowing in the misery of sacrificing his refrigerator" was nominated for a pultizer.

At least give the man some credit even if you don't like or understand satire.

All bandwagoners are welcome. Just bring me lots of Miller lite, and I like my steaks Medium Rare.
