Can They Shake The Hangover?

No one is more anxious to get back to work than Reggie Bush. And for the record, we don’t believe he should be forced to give back his Heisman. Just more folks playing politics.
The Saints and Vikings, in a rematch of last season’s NFC title game, kick off the season Thursday night in New Orleans. Before all the hoopla at the game, there will be a parade in New Orleans, where the the locals will celebrate their Super Bowl victory over the Colts again. Just a warm-up act to the main event.
But can Drew Brees and the Saints repeat? They will have their work cut out for them and the odds will be against them. For starters, they will be facing an angry Vikings’ squad that believes it should have been the one crowned champ, but an ill-advised Brett Favre passed settled that. And the schedule will be a brutal one.
Regardless, plenty of folks are ready to settle in for another NFL season. And we couldn’t get a much better opener to tip it off.
Bottoms up.
