The Cleveland Browns have signed former New England tight end Ben Watson to a three year deal. Watson, 29, gives the Browns a much needed receiving threat at TE. Last year he had 29 catches for 404 yards and five touchdowns. Watson will team with Evan Moore to give the Browns a very respectable pair of tight ends.
Cleveland continues to sign solid veterans. With the signing of linebacker Scott Fujita, right tackle Tony Pashos, Watson, and the trade for Seneca Wallace, the Browns are filling holes with quality veterans. Maybe they aren't marque names but they are an upgrade none the less.
Last year Eric Mangini started building the Browns with smart, selfless, high charactor players. Mike Holmgren and Tom Heckert seem to be doing more of the same this [...]

In last Monday's epic showdown the Saints smothered the Patriots 38-17 at the Superdome. The Saints have long been a bad to mediocre franchise to say the least. This win legitimizes them as a team with an undefeated record on the line, as a franchise looking for prominence and glory, as a city looking for hope through their lovable sports team, as a group of young mean feeling as though they belong at the top of the NFL and should be considered with the NFL's cream of the crops.
The Saints should the whole country that they belonged!
There are a lot of memories from that game - one of them I will not soon forget....the Patriots' star quarterback, Tom Brady, and head coach, Bill Belichick standing-arms-crossed on the sidelines. It is not very often you see a NFL team take out their [...]

What a great overall performance by the Saints!
The Saints went out to Tampa and CRUSHED the Bucs 34-7 including not allowing a point after the 7 minute mark. The Saints had a great game plan, so first and foremost great job by the coaching staff to have prepared well for their divisional game against the Bucs. Without a solid game plan, it would be like not having a solid foundation on a house or building structure you need that in order to build the actual house.
Let me dive right in to the Saints who really shined during last week's game.
First off is the Offensive Line for the Saints, they really stepped up this past week. Allowing ZERO sacks for their quarterback Drew Brees. Brees had a very efficient day not throwing a pick and not being sacked means he had time to make [...]

Great game for the Saints. If you were to tell me that the Saints were to go on the road, to play in fair cold environment, hold the opposing team to less than 10 points, Brees to not through a touchdown, and the Saints were going to come up winners...I would not believe you. But that is exactly what the Saints did in their week 3 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, with the final score 27-7.
