Keep Your Enemies Closer

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!
