I think of so many of the season ticket holder who I would have loved to seen smile if they had lived this long. And yes, the entire state needed it. This crew is a true TEAM, not just a bunch of "hotshot superstars".
(For you true Saints fans, it's a joy to be rooting for someone other than "Fetch Monster" like we used to have to do).  |
Congratulations to your state and Saints fans everywhere! I was really rooting for them once I got over the heartbreak of my Vikings losing. The only thing that mitigated that painful loss is that at least I like the Saints and their fans. FWIW, that's the way most people in MN. seem to feel. We really wanted to beat you guys but it was not to be and now we're thrilled for y'all. And it is a Cinderella story after so many years of having a losing team that people still stuck by. I've never been to N.O. but I'd love to go someday soon.
Don't know how long you've been following them but the best athlete from my HS played for the Saints in the '80s, Russell Gary. He's also a hell of a nice guy and still lives there part of the year. Just saw him at our 30 year HS reunion in '07.
Ya think they're partying down there in N.O. tonight?
