Christmas comes early

As of Monday night, the Saints have won their most games in a season since 1991 (their run at the NFC championship was after a 10-6 regular season in 2006). What's even nicer is that I risked watching part of the game, and they still won (for some reason, those two conditions don't usually seem to go together).

Like most years, the Saints' fans have been holding their breath, wondering if this is for real. The way they handled the Patriots, I think it's safe to say the franchise is operating on a new level. All the cylinders seem in place for once.

Geaux Saints!
