Lauren Alaina may have messed up the lyrics to the National Anthem at the Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers game on Thanksgiving day, but she was just thankful that she didn’t fall. The 17-year-old singer slipped while singing a line in the ‘Star Spangled Banner,’ and like a true professional, humbly picked up the pieces and finished the song.
The Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers continued their fantastic seasons, while the Baltimore Ravens moved into first place in the AFC North. Meanwhile, several other teams continued win streaks
How did the teams that aren't the Saints do this weekend? We've got the scores and the stories right here
A stunning upset and several blowouts punctuated the action in week eight of the NFL season, meanwhile several games came down to the waning moments. Here’s a recap of all the action:
St. Louis 31 – New Orleans 21

Week Three of the 2011 NFL schedule kicks off the first weekend of fall. Two games feature undefeated teams pitted against each other, while several, key intra-divisional rivalries meet for the first time this season. Meanwhile, winless teams are scrambling to save their 2011 season before it’s too late.
After a long, cold winter of labor disputes, lockouts, and a few months where it looked like we might not have a football season this year, the 2011 NFL season is just about ready to begin.
And before the Packers and Saints finally take the field for the first game on September 8, some of music’s biggest stars will celebrate the new season with this year’s NFL Kickoff Concert, featuring performances from Maroon 5, Kid Rock, and Lady Antebellum.
There was a time when a trip to Oakland California would strike fear in the hearts of NFL fans across the league. That isn't the case anymore. The once proud Raider Nation is a mere shadow of itself and last night in the next to last preseason NFL game for our New Orleans Saints, Drew Brees and company illustrated that point from very beginning. Warning, the video from NFL.com is rather graphic if you're Raider fan you might want to look the other way as the Saints dismember your team. The final score was New Orleans 40, Oakland 20.
Although the New Orleans Saints have yet to make it official, Lance Moore tweeted that he is staying with the Saints. The deal is reported for 5 years, terms undisclosed.
I was talking with Stevie P, our 97.3 The Dawg sports guy and host of Thinking Out Loud on ESPN 1420 the other day. We were talking about sports, or the lack of sports to talk about. Professional baseball certainly has its fans but most people around here are fans, not fanatics. Throw in the fact that the closest to home Houston Astros are playing like a Double-A team and baseball slips a little further out of mind.
What about the Saints and the NFL? This should be the time of year when rabid fans are chomping at the bit to see recent draft picks and free agents getting signed and getting ready for training camp. With the current labor dispute we might not see those signings and training camps until much later unless of course the rumour mill is to be believed.
Cheerleaders as a rule get a bad rap. The stereotype is of a ditsy airhead who can't count higher than eight. That is not fair.

The answer might surprise you.
