The Saints marched on to the Super Bowl where they faced a very good Indianapolis Colts team. It was only fitting that as in the recent World Series, we saw a match up between the two best teams in the NFL. Not since the New York Yankees of 2001 has there been a team that its hometown fans pulled for them and represented them in the wake of a terrible tragedy. Put away those loser "Aints" bags, boys and girls... the first time's the charm and the New Orleans Saints, who played with a lot of heart and emotion, are Super Bowl champs. And dat was a magnificent game with a top-notch performance by QB Drew Brees. Last night before I went to bed, the last song on my iTunes was "New Orleans" by Cali punk band Rancid. The lyrics struck me: "Well, she's got pride like a million lions; she's got scars on her velvet face; i'm gonna carry her heart to New Orleans."
