office: how can I characterize the Saints defense in their efforts today? The Bucs, with a back-up quarterback, racked up almost six hundred
yards of offense -- Tampa Bay scored forty-eight points -- the only way I
could think to describe how bad the Saints defense was...is going to be
the series of emojis that are going to take over your screen [note: the
