Not sure what puzzles me more. Frank Russo finally indicted or Marc's not having a weekly ad this week.

Thoughts during Saints-Vikings:

Are you ready for some football?

What exactly is Harry Connick, Jr.'s job these days? I haven't seen him behind a piano in years.

After the Saints first drive resulted in a TD, it became much clearer. They will kill the Browns.

Jonathan Vilma made some tackles for the Saints and I didn't hear the word "Haiti".

Kevin Butler's ads for the PS3 are outstanding. Check out his Tweets.

Vikings coach Brad Childress, aka Mr. Noodle, seems determined to get Adrian Peterson 800 touches this season.

They showed the "little piggy" GEICO ad, but I love the woodchuck one better. "Hey, Woodchuck! Quit chuckin' my wood."

Do you ever notice the Saints injured and practice squad players? They really stood out last year, because of their gold shirts. Well, the Gold Shirt Posse was back tonight!

Saints defense played much better in the second half. Vikes were really shut down.

Do you get the feeling Al Michaels really enjoys his New Orleans visits?

If the Saints kicker had missed 10 field goals, would Cris Collinsworth say "He must need more pressure." 10 times.

Old Carl Weathers makes me laugh.

The Koran-burning pastor pulls a Brett Favre. Burning On. Then Off. Now it might be back on. A look at his past.

Sometimes you just stumble into watching things. Zipping through the dial after the Russo 6:00 news on the local channels, I watched "Let's Get Lost" on Sundance. This is the doc about Chet Baker. Absolutely a must-see. Airs again next Saturday, the 18th, at 6 and three times on Wednesday, 9/22.

Everything I know about love, I learned from the Beastie Boys. That and White Castle fries only come in one size.

SNL-The Game. And Don Pardo is 92.

Stephen Hawking is still alive. He wants more funding for science.

I really wish "Arrested Development" was a bigger hit. For those that remember, here is a look at the "Good Grief" episode.

Men's pants. Oh, how they lie! And what the hell is going on at Old Navy?
