Pro Football Weekly's Eric Edholm brings you hot news and the inside scoop about the NFL.
Taking stock of a great Super Bowl win by the Saints
The Saints went through a gantlet of quarterbacks this season, cranked up to 11 in the playoffs, and came out world champs.
We can put another McNabb rumor to bed for now
Have you heard the latest about Donovan McNabb? Seemed fishy, but I had to check it out.
Senior Bowl: Larsen, not Walton, guilty of bad snap
It was South C Ted Larsen, not J.D. Walton, who was guilty of making a snap over the head of QB Jarrett Brown that was recovered by DE Austen Lane.
Who will start at QB in Senior Bowl? Hmm ...
If you want to know who will start at quarterback for the Senior Bowl, you might have to tune in Saturday.
Jack Del Rio, eating sausage and chatting with fans
The Senior Bowl is fully embraced by the community, and it appears that some NFL folks, such as Jack Del Rio, feel the same about the fans who come out to watch practice as well.
Wednesday South team practice observations
The good news: I didn't eat at Waffle House today and feel much better. The bad: I will have to keep this a little shorter so Dan and I can get back to the afternoon session on time.
Zorn says he's 'ready to work' now
I ran into Jim Zorn, former Redskins head coach, on the sidelines at practice on Tuesday morning, and like many people down here, he's looking for a job.
Tuesday South team practice observations
My first look at the South team, once I managed to avoid getting trampled by Tim Tebow fans, was a positive one.
Tuesday North practice observations
After contracting an upper respiratory disease overnight from the hotel bedspread, Dan Parr and I headed out to the North team practice after taking his Waffle House virginity on the way.
Monday North team practice observations
The North team got off to a sloppy start in practice but finished stronger, according to North coach Jim Schwartz.
Kicking off a week of Senior Bowl coverage
The PFW Mothership has descended upon the Senior Bowl, fresh off the NFC championship game in New Orleans, and Dan Parr and I will have you covered all week.
Trainers working on Favre's left ankle
Interesting that the Saints get flagged for Anthony Hargrove's "late" hit but not for the high-low pulled off by Saints DLs Remi Ayodele and Bobby McCray.
What was with that double reverse?
Poor call, I thought, by Sean Payton on the double-reverse thingy the Saints ran on (I think) their own 31-yard line. Reggie Bush almost was dropped for a 17-yard loss by Jared Allen but salvaged a no-gainer.
The Superdome press box is getting 'crunked'
The Saints' "halftime" song, in case you were unaware, is “Stand Up and Get Crunk” by the Ying Yang Twins. It's so New Orleans hip hop.
Can Saints fans keep this up for four quarters?
In doing research for today's game (and research only, I promise), I stayed out a little past the witching hour to see how the fans would be.
