last two minutes of that half was brutal. It all started with the first missed short field goal. Not liking my chances as much anymore

Yeah Falcons are going to lose. Haha!

 

[karamazov80]

Golddamn Saints. . .do not blow this one.

*shew*

 

[Mesa]

Even though I lost my sucker bet, what an exciting game. That was intense.

I bet that saint that had ball taken away and allowed last two minutes to even happen gets chewed out bigtime by the coach. Wasn't he the reason saints center got hurt too?

THE SAINTS ARE 7-0! THE "WHO DAT NATION" ROLLS ON! THE SAINTS DID NOT "BLOW IT". THEY WON. ...AGAIN!

By the way, Stuart Scott with ESPN...it is WHO DAT...not WHO DEY!

Check your hearing man. Fans yelling loudly in front of you saying "Who Dat", and you say "Who Dey"?

How about those amazing catches? Colston, Henderson, Shockey. Big plays on defense again. Some great runs in there by Pierre Thomas too.

GEAUX SAINTS!

Next up for the Saints are the Carolina Panthers that are 3-4. We'll get them too. I have faith in my Saints!

WHO DAT SAY GONNA BEAT DEM SAINTS!!!!!

Can't wait for Saints and the Patriots. Brees vs. Brady will be quite the match-up.

It was hilarious watching the replay this morning. They went in and over-dubbed Scott's comments so that it sounds like he was originally saying "Who dat say they wanna beat them Saints"




Still got him saying "wanna" instead of "gonna," though

A few years ago the Bengals stole our old slogan and changed it to "Who dey" for some reason, and these whippersnappers like Stuart Scott don't have any idea that we came up with the first ridiculous catch-phrase.

Pissed about the stinking injury to Goodwin

Fortunately, Payton said he should be alright.

The Saints stole it from high schoolers, it's not their slogan. The Saints didn't even start using it until the 80s.

Wofford is correct:

The Who Dey chant is first known to be used by fans of the 1981 Super Bowl-contending Cincinnati team.

It is similar to the phrase "Who Dat", which has been used in minstrel shows and early jazz music in New Orleans since the late 1800s, and was adopted by fans of the New Orleans Saints in 1983.

Wow I am watching ESPN new did you see the punt that somehow the Ravens didnt block? How it makes it perfectly clean through the arms of Ed Reed?

 

[JediMike71]

Yeah, I hope center Johnathan Goodwin is okay, and can come back. I'm also hoping that Scott Fujita makes it back into the lineup. I know that fullback Heath Evans is out for the year. That sucks!

The "Who Dat" song is the Saints chant song. Whether they "stole" it from Cincinatti or not...does it really matter? I remember when I was a teenager in 1983, and we Saints fans started using "Who Dat" back then.

Yeah, I noticed the overdubbed Stuart Scott's voice when he later said "Who Dat" instead of "Who Dey" when they replaced the game cap with him, Matt Millen, and Steve Young after the game.

 

[Fritz]

Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention about last weeks game...

FU Mike Westhoff!

 

[King Darkness]

Yeah, F U Westhoff!

I think it is funny that Hines Ward got voted as the leagues dirtiest player. I know he is rough. But I never really thought...dirty. The poll was further de-valued to me when Troy Polamalu came in at the 8th dirtiest player in the NFL.

Troy Polamalu? 8th dirtiest player in the NFL? Really?

But the poll was of NFL players...so maybe I just don't get it.

Well, guess I should've wiki'ed it. You figure God gets angry with Saints that steal?

Finally, "Who Dat" became part of a chant for fans cheering on their favorite team. It has been debated exactly where it started, but some claim it began with Southern University fans either in the late 1960's or early 70's and went "Who dat say they gonna beat dem Jags" - Southern University being nicknamed the Jaguars. There's also those who claim around the same time it began at St. Augustine High School, an all boys Catholic high school in New Orleans for African-Americans. It then quickly spread to New Orleans Public Schools. Then in the late 70's fans at Louisiana State University picked up on it. In 1983, New Orleans Saints fans adopted it during the tenure of coach Bum Phillips. In 1981, the Cincinnati Bengals fans and players started with the now famous "Who Dey" cheer. It was also adopted by wrestling fans of the Junkyard Dog, who wrestled locally in the Mid South Wrestling area in the early to mid 1980s.

Where did you see this?

The top 10 should all be O lineman.

I said it a while back man, ever since Pitt got rid of Randel El and Plax Hines has been pretty damn dirty. He gets frustrated. Don't get me wrong he is still a great player. However, you always see him grabbing face masks after a play and getting into a scrum of some sorts.

 

[wofford29]

Hines Ward has always been a cheap shot artist. He lives for the crack back block and always leads with his head. Often times after a play has ended and the dudes just throttlin' down around the pile. Add in the grabbin' face masks and scuf that badmoon mentioned and I'd say Ward is definitely worthy of the top spot. He was no different at UGA.

edit: I'd like to add that this is really nothing new for Ward. If I'm not mistaken, he's been #2 on this list for like the past decade. The only reason he's #1 now is because Rodney Harrison is out.

 

[Darth Cruel]

I guess I have a different opinion of "dirty". But like I said, this poll is by the players, so what do I know? And I am still wondering how Troy Polamalu made it in to the top ten.

Yeah that one I don't get. Is that Obama Mamma in your avatar?

Who was polled? Players or media, or just random poll?
