Philospophical consistency

Mickey Loomis speaking this afternoon about the announcement that linebackers coach Joe Vitt will be filling in for Sean Payton this year:
It is important that we keep Sean Payton's philosophy front and center during this season. Sean has been the driving force behind the tremendous success our team has enjoyed during the past six years,


That philosophy being that the head coach doesn't have to be at all the games, I guess. Payton missed one and a half games last year and will miss all of them this year. (That's a lot of hot dogs!) Vitt will be suspended for the first six games this season.

Anyway the most surprising fact we've discovered in analyzing today's news is that legendary TV pitchman Ron Popeil does not have a mustache. I was all set to end this post joking that Vitt and Popeil are kind of similar looking mustache buddies or something. But look! Popeil doesn't even have one!



I was shocked. He certainly looks like he's supposed to have one. Did he ever? I can't find any photos of him with one. Someone should do something about this.

Meanwhile it turns out that Vitt pictured below, doesn't look all that much like Popeil with or without the 'stache.



Instead, I think he's more the Jack "Winnebago Man" Rebney type.



And this is probably the best news of all. Because, given the way the 2012 season is likely to go for the Saints, this is probably the guy we'll most want to see on the sideline as the debacle unfolds.
