NEW ORLEANS (AP) -A court-appointed overseer says he's been ``hamstrung'' in getting the records of a movie studio tied in a $1.7 million investment dispute with members of the New Orleans Saints. The trustee for Louisiana Movie Studios LLC says he's been unable to locate key data about the finances of the company. A federal bankruptcy judge decided Thursday to order studio head Wayne Read to New Orleans for sworn testimony. That came after Read did not show as ordered for the hearing. Present and former |

In the process, the Falcons moved to 2-0 for the first time since 2006 and for the seventh time overall in franchise history. They share the NFC South lead with the New Orleans Saints, who are also 2-0. For the second straight week, the Falcons defense also caused turnovers that led to points. Linebacker Mike Peterson had a hand in two turnovers in Week 1 that led to 10 points, and he was able to recover a blocked punt by cornerb |

| New Orleans, LA (MySportsbook) - The New Orleans Saints announced Monday that running back Mike Bell has no structural damage to his right knee. Bell, who ran for 86 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries during the Saints' 48-22 demolition of the Eagles on Sunday, left the game in the fourth quarter after suffering an injury to that knee. An MRI taken earlier on Monday revealed no structural damage, but Bell did show a sprain of the medial collateral ligament. Unlike an ACL injury, the MCL is usually left to hea |

METAIRIE, La. (AP) -At this rate, Drew Brees could throw for 72 touchdowns this season, a seemingly preposterous total that would obliterate the record 50 TD tosses Tom Brady threw in 2007. The New Orleans Saints quarterback would rather steer clear of such talk, turning his focus to team goals. ``How about 16 wins?'' Brees said Monday. That would be another long-shot, though not impossible, as Brady and the New England Patriots proved two seasons ago. Certainly, the Saints have won their first two gam |

"I think that we have a chance to be better than the other teams we've been a part of," said Saints head coach Sean Payton about his club which reeled off consecutive 40-plus-point games to start the season. "We played pretty good today but there's always room for improvement. The goal for each week is to get be |

| (MySportsbook) - The New Orleans Saints have had no issues at quarterback since Drew Brees came to town. The Philadelphia Eagles wish they could say the same thing. Likely without Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia welcomes New Orleans to town this Sunday for its 2009 home opener at Lincoln Financial Field. Though McNabb has been one of the biggest factors in the Eagles' decade-long span of success since being taken second overall in the 1999 draft, the former Syracuse quarterback has also had trouble shaking the in |
