The New Orleans Saints followed with the NFL weekend theme of blow outs with their 34-14 win over the beleaguered Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Drew Brees had a banner night with 328 passing yards and three touchdown passes in the win while sophmore running back Reggie Bush watched from the sidelines with a knee injury.
In other Saints news, the PCL tear that has affected Reggie Bush since early November may prove to be a season ender, but will not require surgery for the so-far underachieving Bush.
The Bears have a new quarterback joining teams like the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons on the three QB year with the addition of Kyle Orton's as their starting QB on Sunday.

Even with a 3-10 record, St. Louis Rams head coach Scott Linehan still has job security. How can you fire him, at least they've won a game, Miami!

In other Patriots news, Steelers Anthony Smith is still running his mouth telling reporters the Steelers will see the Pats in the playoffs. Because nothings quite as embarrassing as getting your ass kicked during the playoffs!
Sad news, an unidentified fan fell to his death during the 49ers game at Monster Park in San Francisco. The man supposedly tried to sit on the top of a wall but misjudged the height and fell from the upper concourse to the mezzanine level. He reportedly died at the scene.

Popo in my crib News:
Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months for his involvement in a dog fighting ring. Vick has already served one month, but will have to serve at least 85% of his sentence which would get him out at the earliest in the winter of 2009. Watch out Mike, because the popo are on your tail!
Broncos punter Todd Suerbrun was cited for simple assualt on Saturday, after an agrument with an unidentified cabbie escalated to physical violence.

Watch out Todd, because the popo are on your tail!
