Catherine's Sports Trivia:Q:Why were the New Orleans Saints named "the Saints"?
____________________________
Mike Vick got so frustrated from the 31-13 devistating loss to the Saints. We've all felt like that at one time or another. We just didn't have a gazillion cameras on us at the time...
Reminds me of Faith Hill's embarrassment. Come to find out, the media just blew it all out of porportion. The pepople that were back stage with her said "She was being playful while the nominations were being read and playful after." Underwood also didn’t take it seriously, according to her publicist, Jessie Schmidt, who said that Hill spoke to Underwood after the show and that the two were fine.
For Vick's full story click here.
I'm not saying it wasn't inappropriate, but we all screw up every now and again.
"It was very inappropriate. I was down, upset, frustrated. I just did one thing I've never done through all the games I've ever lost, no matter how frustrated I've been after a game. I don't know where it came from, but the people who know me know that's not me and that's not my character."
He mentioned in that article, "I don't know where that came from." I was just reading "...out of the abundance of the heart the mouth (or in this case, the finger) speaks." Luke 6:45. That's where it comes from, Mike.
That's where it comes from for all of us and he's not alone. He gets mercy from this fan because he's humble and sorry. If he was all in our faces and belligerant, I would lose respect for him. But that's not the way he's being. Like a good friend of mine, Chrissy Quigley, says... "Tomorrow's a new day... and then it will be someone else's turn to step in it." Get good, then go get 'em, Mike!

This is a Coreson Monday Night Football night. Rob's a Seahawk fan and Jacob's a Green Bay fan. I'm rooting for Green Bay because Jacob isn't here to do it for himself against dad.
Looks like Farve is going to try to play. He received an elbow injury last week, but is going to get out there and give it a try.
Quoting from the Seahaws' Fox Sports page:
TEAM REPORT: INSIDE SLANT
Starting quarterback
Matt Hasselbeck is back in the lineup at a good time. Backup
Seneca Wallace played well most of the time Hasselbeck was out, but his 2-2 record was a tale of two players. Wallace tossed five interceptions in his two losses as a starter. He had no interceptions in the two victories.
Hasselbeck had four touchdowns without an interception in the six quarters he'd played prior to suffering a knee injury against Minnesota. He will probably be rusty upon returning against the
Packers. His experience will be key in avoiding the kind of mistakes that plagued Wallace against the
49ers.
"You see it every week in the league and it's hard to explain why a quarterback gets a little careless," Holmgren said. "He is not expected to win the game by himself, ever. But at the same time, that position has a lot of responsibility and Seneca has handled it very well, he really has. But (the
49ers game) was tough."

A: The name Saints was the popular choice in a fan contest staged by the New Orleans States-Item. However, with or without the contest, the New Orleans team would most likely have been called the Saints. The franchise was awarded on All Saints Day, November 1, 1966. New Orleans was famous worldwide as the city of jazz and the famous marching song, “When the Saints Go Marching In.”
