Like after 9/11, The Patriots won the Super Bowl and sorta came "America's Team".. This is a similar situation.. It's kinda a metaphor for "rebuilding N.O.".. Saints have sucked for 40 years.. One year after the greatest natural disaster in America's history is the year they become great.. Come on.. How storybook is that??
Anyone who mocks or denies it is just hating.. And as I said, if you are not from here, I don't expect you to "get it".. But to completely cast off the powerful emotion that is driving this team and the enitre Gulf region is stupid and you guys should be ashamed of yourselves..

Makes sense, a interesting note on the Pats the first game after 9/11 was when Bledose got knocked out.
I know there's been talk that McCalister and Horn have done a lot for the area, it's cool to hear about Brees relationship with the people.
Well, my pick when the playoffs started was Pats vs. NO, hope to see you there!
