The Saints’ Jermon Bushrod on Bounties, Brees & His Big Ole Heart

To say this has been a “difficult” offseason for the Saints would be as big an understatement as saying T.O.’s career is a “little bit” over. (I mean c’mon, a Dr. Phil “Baby Mama” episode, Terrell??) This offseason has been one dog fart after another. And if it has affected you as a fan, you’ve got to know it has been a total...

RIP Junior Seau

When I was just a young girl living in New Orleans, trying to figure out why the team I loved sucked so bad and growing to love and understand the game of football, I can remember attaching myself to players on teams other than my beloved Saints. Sure I admired the Joe Montanas, Dan Marinos and Emmit Smiths of the league. But then, there were players like the Steelers’ Rod...

Awesome Bucs Sign Paralyzed Player Eric Legrand

Moments like this don’t come around too often, so enjoy it while you can. I, Nola Chick, will report news of the day without a hint of snark, sarcasm, or vulgarity. Brace yourselves, people. The Bucs have signed former Rutgers player Eric Legrand as a team sportscaster. You may recall that Legrand was paralyzed from the neck down in October 2010. Read more about this awesome...

Thoughts on Round 1 of 2012 NFL Draft: Meh…

For the first time in a long time, the NFL draft bored me. In fact, I was annoyed that I chose to watch the draft live and DVR Community instead of the other way around. In truth, my team didn’t have any picks in the first round so it’s not like I had an emotional investment in what was going down. But even beyond that, this year’s draft seemed to lack some...

Congrats, Megatron! And Our Condolences…

Well Detroit Lions, you had a good run. Your team was solid last season and you could have been a legitimate contender this time around. Unfortunately, the American people hate you. They’ve set your star player up to fall down a flight of stairs, slip on a banana peel and into a mound of glass, or possibly get “accidentally” elbowed by Metta World Peace at a...

A Sex Bounty on Tim Tebow?

A skanky website is on a mission to “out” Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow. They’re offering one million bucks to any woman who can prove she’s had sex with the self-professed virgin. (As if a woman who would publicly admit to sleeping with someone for money really needed the money to sleep with said dude to begin with.) The website, Ashley Madison, has...

“Anonymous Sources Can Suck It”, Says Anonymous Source

Chicks in the Huddle recently received a letter from a source who has asked not to be identified, regarding the latest round of accusations against the New Orleans Saints. While we can not independently verify the accusations made in the letter, we find it important to bring these allegations to light. After all, what good is a rumor if there is no one around to report on it? ...

Bring on the 2012 NFL Draft….PLEASE!

Thank you NFL Draft, for restoring normalcy to a wickedly insane offseason. The playoffs were a downright bummer for this Saints fan. The Super Bowl was whack. Then came that ***** of a snitch, bounty drama, and the exile of Sean Payton. And of course, the Saints have yet to freaking sign Drew Brees. So needless to say, this chick could use the distraction that the draft tends...

An Uncomfortable Message to Saints Fans

After February 7th, 2010, I decided that I would never again play the part of “the franchise victim.” The Cinderella story for my New Orleans Saints had been realized. The dream was now a reality. And honestly, “lovable loser” was a title I was all too thrilled to finally shake off. Fast forward two years, I get the sense that some Saints fans are vying...

Jeremy Shockey Proves He’s Not the Snitch

Feel free to slowly remove the pin out of your Jeremy Shockey voodoo dolls, Saints fans. Our former tight end turned frenemy not only says he’s not the one that snitched on the team in the bounty scandal but he tweeted proof! Former Bucs player and current NFL analyst/generally obnoxious human being Warren Sapp outed Shockey the day the punishments came out. Shockey immediately...

Saints Bounty Scandal: Eff Da Penalties!

We’ve been riding pretty high for the past few years, Saints fans. We’ve celebrated a Super Bowl victory, back-to-back playoff appearances, division titles and record breaking performances by our star players.

Welcome to Buffalo, Mario!

It happened. Finally. It was so shocking I almost didn’t believe it was real life. Then rain dripped on me on my way out the door to work and I realized this was, indeed, real life and not a dream. Which made it even more unbelievable that Mario Williams is now officially a Buffalo Bill. This is big. Not “big” like when the Bills signed Shawne Merriman and all these...

Tim Tebow, Will You Accept This Rose?

If the Saints’ “bounty” scandal makes your heart hurt, it’s time to make your brain hurt, too! Producers are courting Broncos quarterback and proud Christian Tim Tebow to appear on The Bachelor. That’s the show where desperate, fame hungry women demean themselves in front of a national audience to make out with a dude and pretend to fall in love before...

Why Saints Fans Should & Shouldn’t Freak Out About “Bounty” Story

Apparently when Gregg Williams schemed the Saints out of a comeback win in San Francisco this January, he wasn’t done with making us want to kick him in the face. News broke yesterday that the former defensive coordinator admitted to implementing a “bounty system” when he was with the team, one that awarded players cash for knocking opponents out of games, getting...

Hines Ward Released, Breaking Hearts Across Steeler Nation

When news that Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward was released came out, I couldn’t help but stare at my phone, gasping and sputtering in utter shock and disbelief. Okay, okay, we knew the day was most likely coming, but come on. Even his official Facebook page said that he didn’t want to retire, he was ready to play more football, and he was doing everything in...

For the Love of God, Pay Drew Brees Already!

When a man leads a team with a loser history to its first Super Bowl, breaks a record that stood for nearly 30 years, and attracts talented players like Darren Sproles by merely suggesting he join the team, you don’t haggle with that man over how much he should get paid. You just pay him. Contract negotiations with Drew Brees have been like that nasty looking cold sore on...

NFL Wives Club: Holly Robinson Peete, The Celebrity Football Chick

When a woman writes a book called Get Your Own Damn Beer, I’m Watching the Game, I have no other choice but to stalk that woman, beg her to let me interview her, then worship at her altar. Amazingly, I was able to track down the author of said book, the lovely and talented Holly Robinson Peete, and I convinced her to give me a glimpse into her fabulous football world, without...

When Pigskin Met Poker

They take part in one of the most profitable ventures in the world and they rake in millions every year. So how is it that so many NFL players end up broke? Maybe because so many of them gamble it all away in bad investments and baby mamas. (T.O. *Cough* T.O.) But it turns out some of them may be finding smarter ways to take a chance with their cash. They’re taking part...

NFL 2012, you are finally here

The new season is officially here! As soon as I woke up on Monday after the Super Bowl, I rejoiced. NFL 2011, peace out. I’d say it’s been nice but I’d be lying. It was kind of nice for a little bit and then it got really bad, really fast, and I still don’t think I’ve fully recovered. I’m ready for a fresh start and positive change. But all that...

The Season Is Over. Now What?

Congratulations, Giants!! You proved the world wrong by winning the Super Bowl in a year that you weren’t even expected to make the playoffs. You made Gisele Bundchen drop the f-bomb in a tirade against her hubby’s team and you pushed Rob Gronkowski to dance shirtless to LMFAO. Consider all of your preseason missions accomplished! While Eli and the G-men and most of...

If you’re a Bills fan and you’re sick of hearing/thinking/talking about how traumatizing the season was, raise your hand. Great, me too. So let’s not. Instead, let’s role play.

The Super Bowl…Through A Woman’s Eyes?

Fact: On Sundays in the Fall, many women would much rather spend their Sundays predicting the plot line of a movie with a title like “If Not For the Love of My Child: A Woman’s Pain. A Lifetime Original Movie” than flipping back and forth between NFL Countdown and FOX NFL Sunday. Fact: Some women call themselves football fans when they rarely watch games, couldn...

Super Bowl 46 Picks

The Giants and the Patriots will be facing off in Indianapolis this Sunday, February 5. You know, just in case you’ve been living under a rock or so mesmerized by the Republican debates that you’ve forgotten about all other types of media. If you recall, the last time they met in the Super Bowl – a mere four years ago (but I’m not bitter) – the...
