Grrr!  

Can someone please tell me where I can listen to the WHOLE game online?  Tried WWL, tried everywhere, and could only get it until 4pm....My 83 year old mother gave us updates from her WALKMAN!  HELP!  Thanks!  

Here is the extra 50 needed to post: la la tra lalla...hmmm hmmm  la de da........................................................................................darn, dots and spaces don't work, sorry people, but here goes:  99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, I take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall....

Just wondering if there was a way to get an RSS feed to our personal blog pages so we know when someone has posted a comment?  Personally I don't post a lot, but I think it would be great for those WhoDat's who do...It would be a good way to keep up with the bantering, comments, insults, and such.

Since I have to have a minimum of 75 words, just ignore this part of the post:  la laa la la hmmm hm la di dah...

I'm hosting a Super Bowl party and my main problem is that all of my WHO DATS are either in New Orleans or Miami!  My best friends are Colts fans (yeah, I know, but they are great people and are bringing red beans & rice so I forgive them), and I'm worried that we Saints fans are going to be outnumbered.  If any WHO DATS are wandering aimlessly in the area and looking for a place to go, come on over!  Email me if you are interested: obrien1528@me.com!

This will be the 44th Super Bowl, Obama is the 44th President ,there are 44 days from Christmas to the Super Bowl , the Saints franchise is 44 years old, on Super Bowl Sunday it will be 4 years and 4 months since Katrina The Saints won in 4 minutes and 44 seconds overtime.

This was sent to me in an email and I thought it was pretty funny.

Also, a new word is being added to the dictionary:  FAVRED (FAHrv'd), v. To bring one's team to the brink of victory through brilliant maneuvers, but to lose by committing a colossal unforced blunder.  Ex: The Democrats favred their chances for health care reform when they lost the Massachusetts Senate seat.

An Open Letter to Sean and Da Boys..

I just wanted to let you know that this season has been more fun than I could ever imagine!  Even though, in my heart, I knew you would be in the Super Bowl this season (see my post of Oct. 29, 2009), I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around it!  

I’ve been a fan since 1996 when I met my first husband in Destin.  He’s a transplant from Marrero and has been a fan of the Saints since their inception.  His claim to "Saints" fame was his daddy, who is said to have sold all of the lights used in da Dome when it was originally built.  He remembers running around da Dome as a kid  with his daddy before it was opened, and to this day would bring me and our kids into the catacombs after the games to get a glimpse of the players.

When I was first introduced to New Orleans, through his family and friends, the one thing that stuck out the most was the impermeable feeling of family.  The next thing I’ll always remember was the underlying giddiness that everyone always seemed to have behind their eyes-I think it was the anticipation of some kind of celebration always just around the corner.  And, oh my god the food!  I was instantly smitten.  I am forever beholden.  

The game on Sunday is in my throat.  Every time I think about it my eyes get misty, and I can hardly swallow.  I am so excited and nervous and happy for you and Da Boys and I can’t wait for Da Day.  You are a part of my family, our family, and to all of those people who doubt us and our ability to rise to any occasion:  unless you’ve been der, done dat, you will never know what it is to be a part of THIS family.

Thank you, Boys, for the greatest season ever.  I’ll see you on Sunday (on my tv, of course).  Good luck, god bless, and my all your dreams come true.  And in case you can't tell, there is a giddiness behind my eyes in anticipation of the celebration right around the corner....

Just a little fun....

A Cajun who died went to hell.

The devil assigned him the usual punishment...put him in the mass pit where the heat was melting others. The devil came back sometime later surprised to find the Cajun just sitting around, not even misting, much less sweating."How come you're not so much as sweating here where everyone else is screaming for relief from the heat?"

The Cajun laughed and said, "Man, I was raised in the bayous of Sout Looziana. Dis ain't nothin' but May in Morgan City to me!"

The devil decided to really put the Cajun through it. He put him in a sealed off cave in the pit with open blazes and four extra furnaces blasting. When he came back, days later, the Cajun was sitting pretty, had barely begun to bead up with sweat. The devil was outraged.

"How is this possible!? You should be melted to a shrieking puddle in these conditions!."

The Cajun laughed even harder than before. "Hey, man! I done tole you. I was raised in Sout Looziana. You tink dis is heat?! Dis ain't nothin' but August in Cow Island!"  So the devil thought, 'Alright, a little reverse ought to do the trick.' He put the Cajun into a corner of hell where no heat ever reached. It was freezing and to add to the Cajun's misery, he added massive icebergs and blasting frozen air. When he returned, the Cajun was shivering, ice hung from every part of him but he was grinning like it was Christmas.

Exasperated, the devil asked "HOW!? How is it possible?! You're impervious to heat and here you sit in conditions you can't be used to...freezing cold and yet you're happier than if you were in heaven. WHY?!"

The Cajun kept grinning and asked, "Don't dis mean de Saints is in da Super Bowl?

The Saints have always been a mish mash of has-beens, are nows, almost forgottens, need-to-prove-themselves, needed-to-prove-to-themselves, lost in the woods, bread crumb and a middle of the heap football players; throw in some players that never had any hope for a trip to a Super Bowl and those who just wanted to keep playing until the day they died, add to that a couple of exceptionally talented but overlooked players and you have the Saints.  A scrappy football team that would give us hints, here and there, that we had talent, but I always knew deep down inside that we could never win a trip to a Super Bowl.  Every year I'd have a great time hoping we’d go to a Super Bowl, but I never truly expected it.

And then the planets lined up.  The coaching, the players, and the team as a whole, have gelled.  That mish mash of players are now a truly formidable team.  The bits and pieces have finally come together to form a momentous blob of incredibleness that I can hardly wrap my mind around.  

Every year I celebrate every game, every catch, every run, every pass, every touchdown, every sack, every run-stop, every field goal, every great play there is, as if we’re going to the Super Bowl.  Every year I knew we wouldn't, but hope is a grand deceiver sometimes.  This year is different: I’m celebrating everything Saints, from now until February, as if we are going to the Super Bowl because we are.  This year is different, I tell you.  I KNOW we are going to Miami in February.  This is not hope, people, this is the truth.  I feel it in my bones and I know it in my soul.  Rock on Saint's fans!  Go ahead and put on your seat-belts now 'cause we're going for a ride!

Okay, I did have heartburn the first 29 minutes, but the Saints' ability to successfully adjust their game plan to "accommodate" the Miami Dolphin's well-touted "wildcat" game is just another way we're showing everyone how great we really are!  The Saints' talent lines run deep and long and have been cultivated meticulously by Sean Payton and his staff.  I think we have a lot more fun to come!

Once again, another team is going to wake up Black and Gold on Monday morning!  Rock On Boys!

God, this feels good.

The New York Giants will not wake up Monday morning black and blue, people, they will wake up BLACK AND GOLD! Five teams have already felt the pain the New Orleans Saints have inflicted upon them, and I'm thinking there will be a few more teams out there that will have the Monday Morning Black and Gold blues before this year is out!   Dare I think we'll make it to Miami????  Oh, the thought is delicious!

Did I mention that I was born and raised just east of Manhattan in NY?  I've been cursed and called a traitor by my family and friends from up north!    I still love ya, yankees, but you have nothing on us down here in the Bayou!

Rock ON boys!  This is THE MOST FUN I've ever had as a 15-year Saints fan!
