It’s been a curious week for the New Orleans Saints. Quarterback Drew Brees was named the A.P. Offensive Player of the Year and running back Reggie Bush’s knee surgery turnned out to be more severe than originally thought. But perhaps the biggest news of the week was that Gary Gibbs was fired as the New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator this Wednesday. Gibbs’ dismissal will likely keep the Saints fan base satisfied. There are a lot of Possible Saints defensive coordinator candidates but after saying “Buh-Bye” to Gibbs the Saints will start their search for a new coordinator with Greg Williams.

After David West and Chris Paul led the Hornets past the Lakers 116-105, Utah defeated the listless Hornets 116-90. Though West’s star shined the brightest in the big win over the Lakers it was Monroe Louisiana’s Paul Millsap who helped the Jazz beat the tired Hornets. Guard Chris Paul, who is third in the All-Star Voting, had 26 points in the loss and admits that he would prefer a win over D-Will and the Jazz.
