The New Orleans Saints have claimed running back P.J. Hill off of waivers from the Washington Redskins, General Manager Mickey Loomis announced Tuesday.

Hill, 5 feet 10, 218 pounds, is a second-year player who was signed by the Saints as a rookie free agent out of Wisconsin after the 2009 draft. He carried 26 times for 128 yards with a team-leading three touchdowns in the preseason.

He spent the first six weeks of the regular season on the Saints’ practice squad, before being signed to the active roster of the Philadelphia Eagles, where he spent seven weeks. After a short, late-season stint on the Eagles’ practice squad, Hill was signed to the Redskins active roster for their season finale.

In the end, the New Orleans Saints and Darren Sharper got things to work out exactly the way both sides wanted. It just took a long time.

The past few months for the Saints and the veteran safety have been nothing but posturing. Despite a flurry of recent talk about the 34-year-old free agent landing in Jacksonville or somewhere else, the Saints announced Monday that Sharper will return to New Orleans.

“We have said since the end of the season that we would love to have Darren back in a Saints uniform for 2010 and I’m glad we’ve been able to make that happen,” general manager Mickey Loomis said. “Darren was an integral part of our Super Bowl-winning team and we look forward to having him back.”

Ode to NFC Championship Game.

With all the media talking about Favre and his ankle, I figured it is time to bring this out.

Ode to the NFC Championship Game

The Vikings came in so strong and so proud,
To unseat the powerful Saints before their home crowd.
The Saints offense was the best,
Just to say the least,
Because their passing and running game is a seven headed beast.

The Vikings lined up with a will to survive,
And with the first play of the game,
The Super Dome came alive.
Favre dropped back into the pocket looking to throw,
But Sidney Rice was covered by Jabari Greer like the ground blanketed by snow.

Favre looked to his left and rolled out to his right,
But McCray & Will Smith rushed in from nowhere, And “kissed” him goodnight!
Through the Super Dome roar, there was a bone chillin sound,
When we looked through the crowd, We saw Favre on the ground.
Our Defense had made the stop, though it wasn’t with ease.
Now it’s time for our Best Weapon.
Can You say Drew Brees?

When the Saints got the Ball,
On a First and a Ten,
Brees found P.T. in the flat,
And He cruised right on in.
When the Vikes went ahead, doubters started to groan,
Before they could blink, Devery was in the end zone.

Time to change up the pace, Let’s try the groun(d).
Handoff to Pierre, “Bam!” His 2nd Touchdown.

Brees next found Reggie who gave it his all,
Dove for the endzone on a controversial call.
Coach Payton said “Let’s take this to the replay booth”.
Tape showed Bush scored by the skin of a tooth.

The hittin was brutal, Best I ever seen.
Jon Vilma and the Scotts were tacklin machines.
The Vikes thought they could elude us,
By running past Harper.
Say hello to your ex-teammate, “Bam!” His name’s Darren Sharper.

The Game got intense, and Bodies was flyin,
It wasn’t no chess match, You know I a’int lying.
Vikes led the stats and couldn’t be humbled,
Till Saints played like Sinners and created fumbles.
The Saints played the game perfect (?) And that, made You wonder,
As The Super Dome crowd was roaring like thunder,
The Vikings looked spent and tired,
Like they had been plunder(ed).

“Time Out” (to rest) Vikes looking befuddled
“Wait a Damn minute, There’s 12 in yo huddle”!
Thank Goodness the Referee made the right call.
Time for the “D” to step up, Vikes still have the Ball.
One last play of the game for Favre to change outcome and perception,
But Tracy Porter read them eyes,
And came up with a BIG interception.

In overtime Kicker, Hartley was seen getting his “pep talk” from Coach P.
Suspense cause the Vikes mouths to open and drop to one knee.
Cause His kick down the pipe, hit the fleur-de-frickin-lis.

As the final play ended,
The Vikings were shaking cold and clammy,
They were last seen on the sideline crying into a shammy,
Cursing their miscues, They said were a whammy.
AS THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS told them BYE and HEADED OFF TO MIAMI!!

Now isn’t it funny how life can unfold.
After waiting a lifetime, The Saints are finally in the Super Bowl!

Florida will Never be the same
Since the years waited were over 40.
Saints Fans invading Yo Town,
To bring home the Lombardi
On the Week before Mardi Gras
There’ll be one helluva PARTY.

Whodatnation.com made Wikipedia !

Who Dat Nation

In recent years the phrase “Who Dat Nation” has become a popular term for the community of Saints fans.[9][10][11] According to Bobby Hebert, formerly a Saints quarterback and currently a sports commentator in New Orleans, the term “Who Dat Nation” originated after a highly anticipated 2006 game between the Saints and the favored Dallas Cowboys, which the Saints won; after the game, listeners from a wide geographic range called in to Hebert’s radio show on WWL (AM), and Hebert commented, “Man, there’s a whole Who Dat Nation out there.”[12]

Well the Who Dat Nation is growing stronger each day and since 2006 Whodatnation.com has been branding and making the Who Dat Nation a house hold name ! Whodatnation.com was in Miami for the Superbowl showing support for the New Orleans Saints and giving away free shirts with Who Dat Nation on it. Whodatnation.com was also at Mardi Gras the past few years with Saints players throwing shirts from the balconies of Bourbon Street to the members of the Who Dat Nation.
