One commenter said "Brees wouldn't want to be a Saint after that". His contract expires this year. hmmm

Here's another video of the play. The Saints db misses completely. Not even in the right direction.

Keenam, star at the U of Houston.

Cut by Texans twice. Give the man some support and this is what ya get. Houston football always sucks.

edit:

At least once the refs took away a game - the Renfro catch that got called out of bounds and incomplete. Film showed it was good.

Losing 10-17 late in the third quarter, a Pastorini pass to Renfro for an apparent tying touchdown in the 1979 AFC Championship game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was ruled not a catch, costing the Oilers a chance for victory and a trip to the Super Bowl.

Steelers has been a bad word in Houston forever.

» This was the first postseason game in NFL history that ended with a winning touchdown on the final play of the fourth quarter.

» Diggs' 61-yard score was the second-longest winning touchdown in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter of a playoff game in NFL history. The only longer touchdown? Kevin Dyson going 75 yards after the "lateral" from Frank Wychek in the Music City Miracle against the Bills in January 2000. Here's a good debate: Which score was more dramatic? The Titans' touchdown was perhaps more improbable, what with the Wychek toss and all, but the Diggs' TD was a walk-off touchdown. I think the Vikings get the edge for that reason.

» The "Minnesota Miracle" takes its place as the most famous 61-yard touchdown in NFL history. It has a fun neighbor in the "Immaculate Reception," a 60-yard touchdown pass from Terry Bradshaw to Franco Harris (via Jack Tatum and/or John Fuqua) in the 1972 Divisional Playoffs. Harris' touchdown occurred 46 years ago and remains an essential piece of NFL lore. Keenum and Diggs now own a piece of NFL history that should have similar legs. That must be a nice feeling.

What's up with the Brady injury. I have to wonder if it is a scam.

Educated guess: Las Vegas odds, even out the pool. Win within margin. Clean-up. NFL/players/Coaches seem to know the game...

probably so. The NE group certainly doesn't seem on the up and up.

Savvy new's analyst may be inspired to bet based on small pieces of information. I'm sure they have the betting psychology down to a science.

But like any good strategy is often about misdirection. Playing fantasy football, won many games with players that were supposedly "injured". I think even Jerry Rice on the run up to the Superbowl against the Chargers he was battling a"cold". He looked fine.
