You might remember former coach turned football analyst Jon Gruden on Monday Night Football raving about the highly specialized mouthpieces the Saints wear and benefit from in their offensive aerial attacks. Fellow analyst and former quarterback Ron Jaworski mockingly bit on a pen and said that's all he had to help him lead the Philadelphia Eagles in the early 1980s.
Just when you thought the rambling Gruden had truly lost it that night, hours after he had donned a Joker mask and raved about the wild card-aspect with which tight ends Jeremy Shockey and Tony Gonzalez brought to both of their teams, the color analyst fits his upper jaw with molded plastic and says something to the like "This is what makes the New Orleans Saints perfect."
As if all the praise he had lavished the Saints with up to that point wasn't already hard enough to believe, now Gruden was saying mouthpieces have a role in their perfect start. And as much as jshox wanted to further investigate the space age polymer discussed by the good friend of coach Sean Payton's, the Los Angeles Times posts the following tonight: "I wouldn't have dreamed in a million years that I'd be wearing a $2,000 mouthpiece," Saints cornerback Tracy Porter said. "That's like a grill."
