DRIVE-BY SHOUTINGS, Vol 7
Tuesday 07-29-2008 4:10am CT

So they're trying to tell us a guy gets murdered and they don't know if the crime camera was working ? OK so just go to the video right ? Why a delay ?
 
Aaron Brooks wasn't trying to sell us on the fact he's out of work is due to the color of his skin was he ? I mean talent or lack of it had to play a role in this. Right ?
 
Like they say." That's was one crazy chick waving a gun !"  Yo lady ! You're a cop ( you were a cop)  Get medicated for cryin' out loud.


 
Yeah Warren Riley lowered the boom of a few bad cops. Ok good move. But don't lay the line on me that 90% of the cops are good folks. The 10% is screwing up the parade.
 
The beat of some drums are saying we should do Edwin Edwards a solid and commute his sentence. Folks are getting soft as the former gov is aging.

Before I can even consider that lets get our politicians back on solid foods. Their behavior is making us all get old.....real fast.
 
This Shepard guy was getting a lap dance in his home ? Atta boy !  But laying a hand on your main squeeze is out of line. My mom used to say " Never hit a women " "Not even with a rose" .Now that's wisdom.


 
I wonder if the guys that arrested him waited a few minutes till the dance was finished ?.....OK maybe I shouldn't have said that.
 
Your local water tasting slippery lately ? Just asking. Ray said the water is safe. Good ! Cause I was thinking there for a minute that a few million gallons of oil may cause a problem.
 
Was that News Anchor Norman Robinson driving a scooter the other day ? Hmmmmm....
 
Nice move by the Saints. Shockey will help.....as long as things are positive. You know...win some early games and get him the ball. Oh ! I don't think you want to drop any passes. Especially if he was open and didn't get the ball.
 


Saints should and will make loud noises as a very real playoff team. ......Meachem better be a part of it to some degree or he's finished in this town. Its ot that hard finding receivers.
 
Reggie Bush better pop a few wheelies this season.......get the hic-ups out of his game.
 
Lets see.. a two tight end set.....seam routes ...Bush...Colston...Brees.......looks like a multi play drive to me.
 
Saints were last in the NFL in AVE YDS PER PASS ALLOWED.....there is your answer to last years boo'boo's
 
No ! I'm not excited about anyone making a nice catch or defensive play at Pre-Season Camp.....Give it to me on Sunday when its real.
 
and sorry but Deuce won't be with us all year long....come on we're talking about two knees that were cut on....I love the guy but the game waits for no one.
 
Saints just had 11 players from the  last THREE DRAFTS play in 2007 and just one start from the rookie class last season.......huh ?
 
Lemme fire this one at ya. Peyton is 17-15 over his first two years. Haslett was 45-51 in FIVE. What's the difference so far ?
 
Coach Gibbs ( Saints Def coordinator )......I say the seats a lil warm this year. Agree ?
 
Mayor Ray says " Everyone chill " " I got it all under control "
 
Sedate me !

    Prostate exams over the phone. The doc simply talks you through it.
 
    What was playing on Jim Tuckers I-Pod ? Sounds of cash rolling on the beach and the clanking of silver coins jangling in his pocket.
 
    What's playing on his I-Pod now ? The sound of blathering crybabies and a chorus of seals slapping their mitts together.
 
    Corrupt politicians should be made to drive around the city with an open pot of hot coffee between their legs.
   
    Catch my meaning ?
 
    Medicate me !
