So in the grand tradition of the Steel Curtain, the Dome Patrol, The Monsters of the Midway, & the Purple People Eaters, I decided to dub the 2013 Saints defense the Regulators.
Thanks to @WWLAMFM playing Nate Dogg and Warren G after the Vacarro interception, I want the Saint’s defense to be called the Regulators.

So when I watch Saints games I have the TV muted and I listen to the local radio broadcast on WWL Radio (pause the a DVR for like 2 seconds and they sync up). They played the classic (well, only) Warren G hit song Regulate on one of their bumpers after a big defensive play or possession change.
Here’s an old music video to Regulate my friend made nearly a decade ago in college:
So it hit me like a GOLDEN BULLET, that this defense is pretty rad, we should call them something. Regulators. Because, they’re Regulating this game and they’re damn good too.
The historical documentary, Young Guns, 100% accurately describes what the regulators are. I mean, come on, EMILIO ESTEVEZ and Kenny Vacarro are pretty much the same guy!
It appears the Saints BLOGOSPHERE THINGY has caught on to my brilliant idea:
Grandmaster Wang unleashes it to the collective unconscious.
So the podcast/blog/whatever has been dormant for a while. The past 2 years have been rather hectic. I got married, 4 months later got separated (Protip: Never marry a longtime friend and/or a girl you chased for 8 years). Last week I finally legally filed for divorce and later that week I went to the last event we attended as a couple, Rising Tide.
Rising Tide this year was an odd experience for me. It seemed to me that there was a lower attendance, less volunteers, and less excitement. I also found myself reflecting on last year’s break up. Every other conversation contained, “I don’t write all that much anymore.” All these factors put me in such a weird head-space the rest of the weekend, like Ian Curtis doing enough heroin to fuel the sun. I guess that metaphor makes sense.
Anyway, I think I should do more blogging and podcasting. I need a little more than just the twitters. I’ll use this site as my platform. I can start introducing myself as “that asshole from deephurting.com.”
Topics of this site from now on will be, anything I feel like. FUCK RULES AND LABELS, MAN. More than likely It’ll be Japanese cartoons and the Saints, but maybe I’ll rant about Bobby Jindal being worse than a piece of shit or BORING I.T. SHIT (explosion) or tiny children singing adorable songs.
Spoilers: I’ll most likely won’t post again for another year.
