Elected a captain for his final two seasons in Madison, the native of New Brunswic... I wrote a column yesterday about how this is a bad idea. Upon reflection, I still think it's a bad idea. Look, I love England. I love soccer. I love lots of things international. Today, the London Daily News all but said it's a done deal to move ... After running through kickers like there was no tomorrow, Sean Payton and the Saints settled on kicker Garrett Hartley midway through this past season.
