Saints/Colts Stay Undefeated...Lebron Scores 44--and some fries.


It's difficult -- really difficult -- not to root for this guy...and his team.

Drew Brees has led the undefeated New Orleans Saints to a franchise-record 13 wins to start a season. The Saints!

They've become just 1 of 7 teams in NFL history to complete the same feat.

Brees threw for 296 yards and three scores -- two to Reggie Bush -- as the Saints narrowly held off division rival Atlanta Falcons.

I'm talking about the N.O. Saints -- once nicknamed "The Aints", once a team that could be put in the same sentence as the Lions and the Browns, being 13-0 -- and there's beauty in that.

Joining this years undefeated Saints are the 13-0 Indianapolis Colts. Not much more needed to say here.

This years Colts set the NFL record for consecutive regular-season wins with 22, while also setting the NFL record for wins in a decade with 114. They surpassed the 49ers of the 1980's. The Pats are four wins behind the Colts with 110.


In the NBA, the Lakers 11-game win streak ended Saturday with a loss at Utah. The Jazz managed to score more than 6 points in each quarter, however, it was interesting to see the Lakers wear their home jersey's on the road. When the Jazz organization decided at some point to wear sweet throwbacks, did they not think to throw in a home alternate as well?

Lastly, the Cavs were visiting the Thunder tonight. Lebron ended the game with 44 points, 8 boards and a fry. He put on a clinic against the Thunder, as the Cavs rolled to an easy win on the road.

Best part? It has to be Bron Bron, after a sick steal and basket, taking some fries from the kid in the stands wearing the Durant jersey, right before taking any chance away from the real Durant winning the game.
