Tonight the two teams dubbed potentially the Saints biggest competitors in '07 faced off in a nasty preseason battle. Well, it was actually only nasty for one team: the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers looked like Sylvester the Cat in a losing battle with Tweety Bird in their matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Final Score: Panther 10 Eagles 27 (Can someone cue Akon's "Smack That" song?)
The game also signaled Donovan's McNabb return to the field for the first time since a season ending injury in week 11 of 2006. McNabb looked calm, confident...and still bald. He completed six of nine passes for 138 yards and played the entire first quarter. As for former Saint turned Carolina Cajun Jake Delhomme, don't be surprised if fans start calling for him to "geaux" right back to Breaux Bridge after his disappointing first half performance.
On an a side note, did anyone else notice the Eagles Cheerleaders appeared to be auditioning for jobs at Rick's Cabaret? Their "uniforms" consisted of a white bra top and coochie cutters bloomers. If you plan on visiting the Linc this season, make sure you pack a wallet full of dollar bills!

McFeisty . .. love it. Thanks for the coaching rundown. I didn't realize Marion Hobby coached at UL Lafayette.
Glad to see that big cats choking on a hairball. Yeah . . . I don't claim Jake. I've spent laid down many a rant about the support he gets around here, when we've got other guys just as deserving from the area . . . excuse me . . . more deserving.
Nice description of Eaglettes. Too bad the boys at the Green Legion (greenlegion.com) in Philly use this sort of vivid prose as fuel for their drunken visits around the country -- (e.g. their description of an "invasion of NOLA" last year and this year).
You tell them Legion boys to "bring it." I survived a "Springer-Like" encounter in Philly during last season's Eagles/Saints game while donning my black and gold garb. And despite them yelling that my mom should have died in Katrina (very classy), it wasn't half bad. So, I'm pretty sure if I got through that without facing jail time, I can deal with the ruffled feathers of this particular Eagles squad.
After all, the Chef's got my back!
