Having spent three days in the Big Easy, I had first-hand evidence of the fact that Saints’ quarterback Drew Brees is undoubtedly the mayor of that town and will be the King of Carnival 100’s of years from now. With all the madness that is Super Bowl week, any company lucky enough to have a guy of his stature in that town this week should consider themselves, not lucky, but savy. And lucky for me, that company happens to be Tide, which is part of the P&G family and the Fan-Cestry campaign we’ve been promoting all season. Here is Brees doing some media and holding up a jersey from a commercial (the kid hasn’t washed that jersey because of the memories that it holds). Tide’s Super Bowl ad this year features a “stain worth keeping” and will air in the 4th quarter tomorrow. On January 21st Tide released the Stain Savers infomercial video as a teaser to its upcoming Super Bowl ad. “Tide Stain Savers” are nifty little patches that protect these memorable stains from being cleaned away...

Let bygones be bygones: Saints, Brees ready to move on

Via The Penalty Flag  |  February 01, 2013
Theodore Roosevelt said “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” Drew Brees and the New Orléans Saints did just that in 2012. All the pieces weren’t in place, and after stumbling out the gate, a late-season push would shoot the Saints back up the rankings leaving them with a glimpse of respect. Now that head coach Sean Payton is back, it’s time to let bygones...

Unsurprisingly, Roger Goodell Is Not Welcome At A Handful Of New Orleans Restaurants

Via Next Impulse Sports  |  February 01, 2013
With Super Bowl week in full swing, a handful of New Orleans restaurants have made slight modifications to their “No shirt, No shoes, No Service” policies by adding “Roger Goodell” to the list of unwelcome items. The NFL commissioner is loathed more in the Big Easy than perhaps any other NFL city, almost entirely due to his handling (and subsequent fumble) of the Bountygate...

Sean Payton had a great time at the Playboy Super Bowl party

How does one celebrate a new contract? If you’re New Orleans Saints’ head coach Sean Payton you do what I would do and head to the Playboy Super Bowl party. (If I actually got invited) Looks like he even took time away from the dance floor and helped stuff some goodie bags for the Crown Royal Heroes Project. Candy in the bag and on the eyes. -Photo credit: AP on behalf of Crown Royal

Speech Won’t Erase Grudges Against Roger Goodell In New Orleans

Via Sports Nation  |  February 01, 2013
Roger Goodell, commissioner of the National Football League, arrived in a hostile territory, took the stage and stood his ground. He’s not a likable person, at least not in New Orleans. He’s not welcomed in a town, where fans have a grudge against the commish. He likes the city and its fans as well — and they don’t like him. The people of these festive, active streets aren’t...

As you know sickeningly well by now I'm a big fan of Pro Football Focus and the grading that they do. It offers a unique look into how the players stack up against each other across the league. In this first segment of two we'll look at how the offense did this year. In case you are curious about my same write up last season, since I do this every year, you can check it out...

Ufford’s down in New Orleans covering the Super Bowl this week and eating crawfish, so I’m filling in on mailbag duty. We’ve got casual sex, not so casual sex, no sex, wedding stuff, still working on saying “I love you” in a relationship, varied threesomes, implants, lots of Drew Brees mentions and more.
