'06 was their best shot. The Wade/Garrett/Jerrah triumvirate since then answers the rest of your question.

Saints, Curtis Lofton agree on deal

Updated: March 25, 2012, 12:21 AM ET
ESPN.com news services

The New Orleans Saints have reached agreement on a five-year deal with former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Curtis Lofton.

The 25-year-old middle linebacker led the Falcons in tackles last season with 147. He also had a career-best two interceptions, returning one for a touchdown.

"Curtis is a versatile, hard-working player that has displayed a knack for being around the football, and more importantly, making plays on the ball," Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said in a statement released Saturday night. "He has the ability to play all three linebacker positions and we feel that he's just entering the prime of his career. We think he can come to New Orleans and fit in well and provide us with a significant contribution to our defense."

Lofton started all but one game his rookie season, working mainly in the team's base package, and he's been an every-down player the past three years. He also led the Falcons in tackles in 2010, registering 142.

Except for a brief stint at outside linebacker early in his college career at Oklahoma, Lofton always has been in the middle of the defense.

The Saints were recently punished by the NFL for a bounty system, and Jonathan Vilma's name appeared in the report by the league. Commissioner Roger Goodell has said he will deal with player punishment at a later date.

man she is hot.

I love the first lady. She is a better looking version of sigourney weaver.

I've told people the Weaver reference myself although I've never found Sigourney Weaver attractive.

I've never been able to pinpoint what but something about her look always kind of creeped me out.

I think it's her defined temple region that perfectly draws attention to the highest point of her eyebrows, giver the her an overal evil look like that Satan creature from the Tom Cruise movie Legend.

Look at that shit. Am I the only person who sees that? Right above the eyes. What is that?

Her eyebrows are shaped in such a manner to give her a permanent sinister look. Seriously, google "sinister eyebrows" and you'll see the exact same shit.

And the definition of that region is just mind boggling. Why is it so defined and appears slightly raised. What is that? It looks like the root sockets of two giant horns, that's what the fuck it looks like.

As far as 1st ladies go, especially recent ones, she definitely has a leg up on the competition in looks, but that look........just frightening.

07 was the best shot. Home field advantage, good pass rush and excellent offense.

Yeah cuz they were totally gonna beat an 18-0 team that already deuced on them
on their own home field once.

Damn. Marion Barber just straight up retired today. That's quite a fall from where he once was. RB's continue to have the shittiest shelf life ever.

We've been fortunate in our history to have backs like Dorsett and Emmitt who both lasted at least a decade. But these last ten years have brought us back to reality of 4-5 years for a RB if you're lucky.

new england was not playing at that same level in the playoffs. Earlier in the year like october when we played them they were killing everyone.

and I dont know if we would have beat them or not but we were missing two corners that day yet still had a lead in the third qtr.

damnit how did that group not win a championship.

6 years of failure (and counting...) summed up conveniently in one small picture.

Wonder why we don't win more games?!

Niners have a pretty solid backfield with Jacobs and Gore.

Just glad his mouth is out of the division.
