LIVING WRIGHT
I've only been to ONEOK Field three times, and all have been for work.
The last time I was there, I had an awesome Siegi's ...
I can carry a wonderful tune -- provided a bucket comes with it. A large bucket with sturdy handles.

Sean Payton seems too much of a gentleman to have reacted to his punishment the way he's yelling from the sidelines here. But who could blame him?
It's a dark day for New Orleans Saints fans, my family included.

Yes, I'm aware some may see this as a sign of the apocalypse that I'm blogging about football. But, despite the fact I don't know a whole lot about it, I still grew up with football, and the Saints are my family's team. Heck, we attended the same church as Archie Manning and his family, and I was allegedly cribmates with Peyton at First Baptist New Orleans -- perhaps my closest brush with greatness.
Anyway, people are fuming.
"Goodell is an idiot!" one male in my family said, referring to the NFL commissioner. "A lot of people believe the punishment was excessive. One man made this decision: Roger Goodell."
My two cents isn't worth much here, other than the fact I really, really hate this for Sean Payton.
"He received the harshest penalty of everyone," a family member told me. "The Redskins and other teams that had the same program received no punishment whatsoever."
What do you think about the punishments? Fair or excessive?
Peace, love and Saints ... XOXO
