Wayne Becomes Colts’ No. 1 Priority

Posted on February 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Filed under: Colts, Super BowlFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — It is a flattering thing, said Indianapolis Colts receiver Reggie Wayne, this increased respect he has gained from defenses since supplanting Marvin Harrison this season as the Colts No. 1 receiver. He also labeled it one of those “grass-is-not-always-greener things.” The No. 2 receiver slot was cozy. The No. 1 slot, he has learned, can be suffocating. “I have seen a lot more special attention,” Wayne said, even though he caught 100 balls and earned 10 touchdown receptions during the regular season. “But I still don’t think that should take away from me having big games. I’m not too big on the decoy stuff, but that’s how it goes. I’ve helped our other guys get open. I need them to help me get open in this Super Bowl. It looks bright for me.” The Colts’ Super Bowl XLIV game plan, Wayne said, looks ripe for him to make this game another glorious chapter in his nine-season NFL career. He is back in the place where he spent his college days at the University of Miami. He is playing against his hometown team, the New Orleans Saints.

Saints’ Defensive Mantra: Get the Ball

Posted on February 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Filed under: Colts, Saints, Super Bowl, NFL AnalysisMIAMI — An incomplete pass is a dead ball, end of play. Everybody knows this. It is a football rule that applies everywhere — except on the New Orleans Saints’ practice field. There, Saints defensive players have been so conditioned to seek and obtain the ball that every incomplete pass is scooped up by a defender and run back for a “touchdown.” It may look silly. It may even be silly. But it fits with the Saints’ core defensive plan, which is all about taking the ball away from the offense. “We have a philosophy on this defense,” linebacker Scott Fujita said. “And that is, whether the ball is in the air or on the ground or whatever, it’s ours. That’s our ball.” It’s a high-risk, high-intensity way to play defense, but it works for the Saints, who ranked 25th in the NFL this year in yards allowed but second in the league with 39 forced turnovers.

Saints Merchandise Toes Copyright Line

Posted on February 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Filed under: NFL Fans, Super Bowl, Sports Business and MediaNEW ORLEANS — We’ve all seen them, those enterprising individuals who camp out at sporting events and concerts and sell unlicensed bootleg merchandise for much cheaper than what’s available legitimately. And usually, the homemade merch is hilariously bad, tacky screen-printed designs on t-shirts that feel like they’re made out of thin paper towel, mostly only available in XXL.This phenomenon has always intrigued me. Who buys these things?In New Orleans the answer is, apparently, almost everybody. Because despite a mini-controversy in which the NFL tried to crack down on unlicensed merchandise using the “Who Dat” refrain so ubiquitous in the city, and then backtracking to state they’d only be cracking down on merchandise that pairs the phrase with NFL trademarked terms and logos, stores are taking advantage of the leeway generously and creatively, selling t-shirts that get the point across while side-stepping anything that can legitimately get them in any legal hot water.And they’re selling. I’ve seen far more of these on people than any jersey or NFL licensed t-shirts. Below, a sampling.
