The Saints Fan

So they did it! The good ole boys not only made it to the Superbowl, but they won! Praise be to the Lord of Heaven and Earth!

I would say this euphoric event was a long time coming. Phil and I watched the game at my father's house. My father, who was skeptical of the Saints' success all along, declared regularly that "This is going to be a long night." After the first quarter of the game, we all worried that the Saints of old, the Saints who cracked under pressure and blew games when they mattered most, we worried that these Saints were the men on the field in Miami. Were we wrong!!! and thankfully so! Our boys pulled it together, and under the leadership of the great Sean Payton and Drew Brees, they won the game that mattered more than any other.

Congratulations to Brees and Shockey and Bush and Hartley and Colston, Henderson and Thomas, and all who gave every ounce of their being to the victory that would once, for all, honor the great City of New Orleans! A city that had fallen, but is resurrecting in force, and this victory is a symbol of the sustenance of the spirit, the faith, and the liberality of all those who claim "New Orleans: Proud to call it home!"
