I for one do not understand this move AT ALL. I'm not sure Will Smith had the edge speed...
Saints Nation: Bold 2013 Predictions
I'm going to be discussing several bold predictions I have for the 2013 New Orleans Saints. I was mulling over the idea of doing this article last week, but decided to wait on it so I could try to piece together my thoughts better. Let's jump right in!
1. Rob Ryan will make the Saints' defense AT LEAST a top 15 defense in his first year as defensive...

New Orleans Saints cornerback Dion Turner made a nice catch in the outfield, while holding into the ball after breaking through a metal barricade that served as the outfield wall, during the Ben Grubbs Foundation charity softball game recently held at Zephyr Field in Metairie, Louisiana.
Turner fell backwards did a reverse somersault after colliding with the barricade, but held...
New Orleans Saints Sign Free Agent DL Isaako Aaitui
The New Orleans Saints and free agent defensive lineman Isaako Aaitui have agreed to an undisclosed contract. Due to the circumstances and the fact that he hasn’t done much at all in the NFL, the deal is most likely a one-year agreement. Either way, Aaitui will compete for a backup spot on the Saints roster and with enough hard work, could stick.
The post New Orleans Saints Sign...
Saints Nation: Saints Pick Up DT Isaako Aaitui
The Saints landed another big body in Isaako Aaitui, who is 6'4" and 315lbs, to create depth behind Brodrick Bunkley and John Jenkins at nose tackle. He has signed a 2 year contract with the Saints for what I can only assume is the minimum. Aaitui has never played in a regular season NFL game after signing with the Dolphins as an undrafted rookie free agent out of UNLV....

Drew Brees and his wife have made a habit out of decking themselves out for movie nights
When I noticed this tweet from Drew Brees Monday night, I figured Brees and his wife Brittany were participating in some sort of local event for The Great Gatsby, which premiered over the weekend...
Had a blast at #GreatGatsby recently. And yes, of course we dressed up! This movie will win some awards I imagine. twitter.com/drewbrees/stat…

Drew Brees and his wife dress up 1920s style for 'The Great Gatsby' (Photo)
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and his wife Brittany were so excited to see the movie "The Great Gatsby" that they got dressed up in 1920s-style outfits. Looks like Drew and his wife should have tried out to be extras for the film.

Drew Brees, wife dress up like it’s the Roaring Twenties to see ‘The Great Gatsby’
New Orleans Saints quarterback and his lovely wife Brittany attended a recent showing of Leonardo DiCaprio-starring, Baz Luhrmann-directed flick based upon the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic, “The Great Gatsby.” And the couple attempted to up the enjoyment and participatory factor by regaling themselves in attire befitting a film about the Roaring Twenties. Brittany looked very...
Photo: Drew Brees, wife dress up to go see The Great Gatsby
On Monday, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees apparently took his wife to see The Great Gatsby at a nearby theatre. Brees uploaded this picture (seen above) on Twitter to serve as proof. But the fact that an NFL player took his wife to the movies isn't newsworthy in and of itself. What is newsworthy, however, is the fact that the two dressed to the part to go see it...
Pierre Thomas Says The Saints’ RBs Will Have Defined Roles
The Saints are an offensive juggernaunt and have the skill players to run or at pass and be tremendously effective doing so. With Chris Ivory in NY, the backfield is a little less crowded and will give more opprtunites to Ingram and Thomas. Sproles seems like his role was carved out and Mark Ingram has flashed his potential form time to time. Thomas is a very smooth runner...
