Who dat? Who gives a shit? Saints 14, Vikes 9. 0-1.

(Above: Favre signaling TD.)

Vikes lost at Saints to open the 2010 NFL season Thursday night. A rematch of last year's NFC Championship. For all the hype and banter leading up to this game, you woulda thought the Saints were playing with themselves (and were gonna mop the town with Minnesota). Our D held New Orleans to just 14 points (enough to win). Favre and his receiving corps looked out of sinc, blah, blah, blah. We had 2 defensive backs gone and Favre's top receiver in Sidney Rice is out for at least half the season (hip surgery). It'll come. It's just one game.

I hope I'm not chanting that mantra too often.
