SAINTS BRING BACK STINCHCOMB
With Florio covering all the stories you care about, let's get caught up on the ones you don't.
The Saints have agreed to a five-year deal to bring back right tackle Jon Stinchcomb. Once considered an injury-prone second-round bust, Stinchcomb turned his career around in 2006 under Sean Payton. After starting no games in his first three seasons, Stinchcomb has started 48 straight since.
The somewhat surprising move means that former Jaguars tackle Khalif Barnes' scheduled Sunday trip to the Big Easy will be scuttled or pointless. (Update: Barnes has canceled his trip.)
The Seahawks, who showed interest in Stinchcomb, would be a logical suitor for Barnes. He's the next best player available in a weak crop of free agent tackles.
One can question the Saints' depth, but you can't question their continuity. With Jonathan Vilma and Stinchcomb back in the fold, Payton will get back all 22 starters from his 8-8 squad.

"One can" ???
Which one, the left one or the right one? Or the top one? or the dumb one? Inquiring minds need to know.
Yeah, because obviously none of the 1.3 million views are interested in the Saints, no one cares.
Why don't you piss off and stop running Florio's Saints fans off.
