History. Period.

by M Styborski February 16, 2010

As I said in a previous entry, you don’t need me for that anymore. It’s all history now. Every pass, catch, drop, step, yard and point. They’re all Saints records. Of course, a few things happened along the way which will lead to a re-write in the pages of Super Bowl history: First, New Orleans [...]

Crank It Up: Playoff Edition! (Now With HISTORY!!)

by M Styborski January 16, 2010

The numbers are in and if you saw the game you witnessed fifteen Saints playoff records shatter. (Well, thirteen shatters and two ties…) Here we go with the new records, followed by the previous record in parenthesis: Most PATs: 6 – Hartley (4 – D Brien v STL, 2000) Highest Rushing Average/Attempt (Min 4): 16.8 [...]

Deuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!

The Turf Or The Bench?

by M Styborski January 1, 2010

The unwashed masses demand it and I have no choice but to comply! (It rambles, sorry. Blame the New Year libations. And Happy New Year all!) Saints starters for the Panthers game: Play ‘em or bench ‘em? It’s not an easy question to answer without resorting to bias, however logically based it are. There are [...]

Saints Stall, But History Marches On

by M Styborski December 27, 2009

I am baffled. I won’t get into the incredible nosedive our offense took in the second quarter, nor shall I attempt to explain the tailspin the D sent the game into in the second half. I shall also refrain from commenting on the inept play calling of the second half resulting in a 20-17 overtime [...]

History: Week 13 Style

by M Styborski December 13, 2009

It’s History time again kids, jump on board! The bad news is we’ll have one less Saints game to watch this year. The good news is it’s the NFC Wildcard game. With todays’ victory over the Falcons the Saints have clinched a first round playoff bye, only their second ever. They are first NFC team [...]

History Redux

by M Styborski December 1, 2009

The first 11-0 start for the Saints. The first NFC team to start 11-0. The first time in NFL history that two teams start 11-0. And it came against the team that made the media question the Saints credibility. All week long the bandwagon announcers have been hedging their bets. After all, it’s the New [...]

You Are Missing History

by M Styborski November 10, 2009

You Are Missing History Not watching the Saints? You should be. That every Saints game becomes a part of the NFL ouevre and a slice of New Orleans’ collective consciousness goes without saying, but at 8-0 the Saints are poised to make history with every game. I don’t want to start the whole Undefeated Season [...]

XLVII – 2013

by M Styborski May 20, 2009

Since I’m the lone sports nut here here at HumidCity, allow me to announce that the NFL SuperBowl site selection committee has chosen New Orleans as the host city for SuperBowl XLVII in 2013! New Orleans won out over Miami, FL and Glendale, AZ, and this will be the tenth NFL Championship hosted by our [...]

Saints on High

by Loki January 22, 2007

The score is 14/16 with the Saints just having scored a touchdown. The really interesting part is the vacant streets outside. I just got back from walking to the store for cigarettes. It reminded me so much of those first weeks back after our exile. In the course of walking six blocks on a fairly [...]

Do it, By Deuce!

by Loki October 12, 2006

Buried busy with wedding prep and my new business. Should get the post-Bloomington-post up this weekend with some luck. In the meantime I would view it as a personal favor if you followed the Mermaid’s suggestion below. Children’s Hospital is a cause near and dear to my heart, without them I would be in a [...]
