How Many Games Can New Orleans Saints Win Without Drew Brees in 2012?

The New Orleans Saints are getting into OTAs without their head coach. Once the regular season begins, they will get underway without their offensive coordinator and general manager as well, causing a less than favorable start to the upcoming NFL campaign. If they also begin the year without their top overall player, can the Saints possibly expect to contend in a challenging division...

Saints fan Tony Le Mon starts website asking for donations to pay Drew Brees

When the all-too-common argument of athletes being overpaid arises, I tend to always side with the athlete. While $20 million a year seems like an astronomical amount of money to pay someone for playing a game, it is the basic concept of supply-and-demand at work.

Saints Fan Starts Site Seeking Contract Donations For QB Drew Brees

To say it's been a frustrating year for New Orleans Saints fans would be an obvious understatement. Their team lost a playoff heartbreaker to the San Francisco 49ers in January and then lost a few key free agents before being buried under a pile of Bountygate penalties. But apparently seeing unsigned Drew Brees miss any more offseason workouts -- and perhaps hold out into training...
