Falcons vs Saints: MNF Disappointment Bowl Better Suited for NFL Network

NFL, Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons

Last spring this looked like a compelling matchup featuring two of the most physically gifted athletes in the NFL. Tonight, it's a slightly different kind of compelling featuring two teams who couldn't have imagined their seasons being any more of a disappointment.

New Orleans was supposed to be playing for NFC home field advantage tonight. Atlanta was supposed to stand around and watch Michael Vick scramble towards an upset. What ever will Mike Tirico, Ron Jaworski and Tony Kornheiser talk about tonight?

93% are picking are picking the Saints

With today's distraction I don't see how the Falcons could put together a winning performance, but New Orleans is more the capable of failing to show. Enjoy the game, I think. Feel free to Q it up here.

Tonight's rules, courtesy of Bill Simmons:

Drink every time Ron Jaworski says the words "National Football League."
Drink every time someone mentions the name "Michael Vick."
Drink every time Tony Kornheiser makes a joke about the fact Chris Redman was out of football and selling insurance last year.
Drink every time we see Arthur Blank dejectedly staring out to the field with one of those looks that says, "I hope Michael Vick is getting treated in prison right now like the Sistas treated Andy Dufresne. I really do."

Let's face it, it's the only way we're making it through this.

I don't know if anyone would make it through pre-game if we played by those rules.

Michael Vick alone would kill everyone.

That's at least 37 Vick references, at least 1 "National Football League" and #3 was covered by Michele Tafoya. And yeah, the game hasn't started.

This would be one of those nights I'd just play more Madden, but after my last game (9 freaking holding penalties...great job 49ers o-line) I'm not feeling it. Maybe I'll play some Tecmo.

Someone wanna tell me what's gotten into the Sixers. They're whooping the Rockets by about 30.

To all of those people with Vick signs, and players with Vick numbers & name written on clothing & faces, would you be doing the same if he had raped and/or murdered someone? I'm just curious where the line is here.

First dogs, now humans. I guess this time it'd at least be indirect.

If Bress can get about 300 more yards and 4 more TDs I think I may sneak myself into the playoffs. Lets have ourselves a shootout here.

Great quote by Jaws in this one...

"Teams are just looking for that top 10 QB that they desperately need...and there's just not that many of them out there."

No kidding...there's probably only about 10 of them.
