Considering the history of the team, underdog is an understatement. You hear of seasonal depression? Well, football season was depressing every year for us, for a very long time.
I'm still in shock. I saw the "I'm going to Disney World" commercial with Brees this morning and immediately started bawling like a lil' baby. A fuckin' Disney commercial.
And, it's Carnival season. Parades started this weekend in New Orleans. Mardi Gras is next Tuesday. It already a week+ long party. Add a Superbowl victory and there's a good chance the city will look worse than it did after Katrina. Kids aren't in school today. They have a half day tomorrow for the victory parade. I'd be surprised if they go to school at all this week.
Any of you that has seen Super Bowl victory parades ain't seen nuttin' yet. No city in the country throws a parade like we do.
This has to be bittersweet for Manning. Home town boy whose father quarterbacked for the Saints back when many fans called them the Ain'ts and wore brown paper bags on their heads at home games.
WHO DAT SAY DEY GONNA BEAT DEM SAINTS!!!!
