The day the season died

I had some fun before with everyone proclaiming the Saints' season dead after their loss to Carolina and then consequently ressurrected after their win in San Diego. And, for the most part, I like to avoid knee-jerk reactions to games. But in the wake of their 34–20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, it's safe to say that, barring a miracle, the Saints' 2008 season is effectively over.

The Amazing Signmakers are back this season. Larry and Apple Lane are back with season tickets, in the same seats, with many of the same signs plus a few new ones for the new season. I met with the Lanes briefly before last night game and they were nice enough to show me their new signs.
In case you were wondering about D-West's new tatoos

There was some speculation about David West's new tattoos after Hornets media day. But what caught my eye recently was the two new ones he's sporting on the back of his calves that read "Carpe" and "Diem". For you non-Latin majors out there, the words mean "seize the day" and they're much more than just a arbitrary mantra West has for himself.

Chris Paul thinks you should ignore Dwyane Wade thankyouverymuch (UPDATE: Now with video)

(UPDATE: Video of the dunk is now at the bottom of this post. Note at the end, where the video loops three times, in the top-right corner of the screen you can see Chris Paul waving his arms to get them to in bound the ball).

While all the talk after last night's Hornets 100–89 win at the Hive was about Chris Paul's record-setting performance (he became the first player in NBA history to start the season with six-straight games with 20 points and 10 assists, breaking Oscar Robertson's record set in the '68-'69 season) all the Hornets players could talk about in the locker room was Dwyane Wade's play.

Specifically, that monster dunk he had in the third quarter.
