Saints starting linebacker Scott Fujita underwent surgery for a staph infection in his knee.
He is expected to be released from the hospital on Monday. The infection stemmed from a ruptured bursa sac. Fujita said he had bursitis before, which is common and went away quickly, but he said this hurt more than usual.
The linebacker is sure when he will return to practice.
Redskins quarterback took advantage of Saints rookie cornerback Malcolm Jenkins, he team's No 1 draft choice, who was forced to start because of injuries to Randall Gay and Jabardi Greer. Campbell burned Jenkins on passing plays of 38 yards to Santana Moss, 29 yards to Devin Thomas and 44 yards to Antwaan Randle El.
Veteran Mike McKenzie was burned by Campbell on a 40-yard catch by Thomas.
Linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar left the game early with an undisclosed injury. He was replaced by Troy Evans.
What does this have to do with the injury? Nothing, nothing at all........................ And perhaps at the same time everything. I simply wanted to take the time to make mention of those fallen heros on this day being as no one else seemed to think it important enough to even make mention of. And Ed Staton’s column seemed like the most respectful or befitting section for me to post it in. I was sort of under the impression that American Sports fans had a certain amount of proper patriotism… Ehhh, all politics aside, it is odd and sometimes interesting or even perplexing when one attempts to estimate what type of values or concerns various people put on injuries. Excuse me for interrupting your ‘concern concert’ dedicated to one or two folks listed in the article that 99 and 99.999999999999/100ths of the rest of nation don’t even know the names of, or what they do, and probably, upon closer examination, really don’t care. But yes I hope Scott Fujita’s surgery goes o.k. A bum knee serves no useful purpose, especially if a person’s career is dependent upon having good ones to aid that person as it runs through life….

Today is December 7th, 2009. 68 years ago on this day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.. When the attack ended shortly before 10:00 a.m., less than two hours after it began, the American forces has paid a fearful price. Twenty-one ships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet were sunk or damaged: the battleships USS Arizona (BB-39), USS California (BB-44), USS Maryland (BB-46), USS Nevada (BB-36), USS Oklahoma (BB-37), USS Pennsylvania (BB-38), USS Tennessee (BB-43) and USS West Virginia (BB-48); cruisers USS Helena (CL-50), USS Honolulu (CL-48) and USS Raleigh (CL-7); the destroyers USS Cassin (DD-372), USS Downes (DD-375), USS Helm (DD-388) and USS Shaw (DD-373); seaplane tender USS Curtiss (AV-4); target ship (ex-battleship) USS Utah (AG-16); repair ship USS Vestal (AR-4); minelayer USS Oglala (CM-4); tug USS Sotoyomo (YT-9); and Floating Drydock Number 2. Aircraft losses were 188 destroyed and 159 damaged, the majority hit before they had a chance to take off. American dead numbered 2,403. That figure included 68 civilians, most of them killed by improperly fused anti-aircraft shells landing in Honolulu. There were 1,178 military and civilian wounded…. When the strike force of six Japanese aircraft carriers, the Akagi, (Red Castle); Kaga, (Increased Joy); Hiryu, (Flying Dragon); Soryu, (Green Dragon); Zuikaku, and the Shokaku, (Soaring Crane) attacked the slumbering American fleet at Pearl Harbor, fortunately for the United States, and by some fantastic stroke of good luck, all of the U.S. Navy's aircraft carriers were away from the Hawaiian Islands and escaped damage or destruction. On December 7, 1941 the U.S. Navy had seven aircraft carriers (CVs) in commission. In addition to these seven vessels, the keels of five other carriers had been laid. As would soon become obvious as the war years unfolded, it would be the carriers and not the battleships that would carry the war to the enemy…. The carriers absent from Pearl Harbor on the day of the attack were: USS Lexington (CV-2) which left Hawaii on December 5th for Midway to deliver aircraft to strengthen the island's air defenses…. The very day the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor the USS Saratoga (CV-3) was entering San Diego harbor after an interim dry docking at Bremerton, Washington. The USS Enterprise (CV- 6) was returning to Pearl Harbor on December 7th and some of her aircraft flying to Hawaiian shore bases were caught in the attack…. The remaining four U.S. carriers were in the Atlantic and were soon transferred to the Pacific. These were the USS Ranger (CV-4) returning to Norfolk, Virginia, the USS Yorktown (CV-5) and the USS Hornet (CV-8) already at Norfolk on December 7th and the USS Wasp (CV-7) at anchor in Grassy Bay, Bermuda….. In addition to the commissioned vessels listed above, the keels of five Essex Class carriers had been laid down. These five ships, all of which would survive World War II, were: USS Essex (CV-9); USS Yorktown (Bon Homme Richard (CV -10) renamed Yorktown in September 1942 to commemorate the loss of USS Yorktown (CV-5), sunk at the Battle of Midway; USS Intrepid (CV-11); USS Lexington (CV-16) and USS Bunker Hill (CV-17)… It is a shame that no mention of the fallen are mentioned on the Bayou Buzz this day.. And when looking at Yahoo, more mention of Tiger Woods can be seen than any of Pearl Harbor. And Jeff talks about not needing new technology, and other things like that. I fear what this country is becoming, and where it is headed. It is a shame. But on this day it should be correct to remember the fallen service personnel and the civilians at Pearl Harbor and other bases and locals on the Hawaiian Islands on that day.. God Bless their souls, and may the memory of them never flicker out or be extinguished.... Written by
