Saints Bring Back Duece McCallister

This is for my New Orleans people:

The New Orleans Saints have brought back franchise record holder Duece McCallister for the Arizona Cardinals game. With the backfield already occupied by Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell and Reggie Bush, I'm not sure where he fits in. However, for the city of New Orleans, for the Saints, and for Duece himself, I see this signing as a sentimental one. Duece was a great Saints and stayed on the team through the thick and thin and the organization wanted to pay him back for all of his services he did for them.

I love this signing, and I hope he at least gets in the endzone once, on the Saints march to the Superbowl.

Saints to Cut Deuce

"The New Orleans Times-Picayune's Jeff Duncan has cautioned New Orleans Saints fans to get ready for life without Deuce McAllister, because he believes the team will be parting ways with the veteran running back within the next two weeks (ESPN)."

Duece will be cut, because he is just too big of a cap hit for a guy who is lucky to get 10 carries a game. If the Saints were to keep him, he would cost them $7.3 million against the cap. Way too much for a team that needs to be doing some rebuilding on the defensive side of the ball. Even though Duece is going to be cut, there is still a good shot the team would try to resign him. He is such a fan favorite, that if he was willing to come back for a much reduced salary, then I don't see a reason for not having him around.

God Dammit New Orleans Saints

"A number of NFL players -- including Deuce McAllister and Will Smith of the New Orleans Saints -- have tested positive under the NFL's steroid policy as a result of taking water pills to lose weight, according to a report from Fox 31-Denver reporter Josina Anderson. "ESPN

Two of the most important people on the New Orleans Saints are most likely going to be suspended due to some banned substance. Duece McCallister was going to take over for Reggie Bush and Will Smith anchors down the impressive defensive line.
The water pills apparently:
"Bumetanide is a drug belonging to a group of medicines called loop diuretics or "water pills." Its uses include the treatment of fluid retention and swelling caused by medical conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease, Fox 31-Denver reported."
I can see how this team can be so frustrating to New Orleans Saints fans.

Fantasy Alert: Aaron Stecker

10 to 15 more people have been found for this drug as well.
