top of the football world by winning the Super Bowl. It's hard to put into
words just how happy I am for the city of New Orleans.
About five years ago, New Orleans was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The
Saints didn't even play any home games in New Orleans in 2005 because they
couldn't. They played home games either in San Antonio, Texas or at LSU in
Baton Rouge. There was talk of moving the Saints someplace else. It wasn't
too long ago that Saints fans were wearing bags on their heads and the
Saints were called the Aints.
In 2006, they returned to the Super Dome in New Orleans, and you could tell
then something special was taking place with the Saints.
It was truly the Saints' year this year. And what a coaching job by Sean
Peyton in the Super Bowl. From going for it on 4th down at the 1, to the
on-side kick starting the second half, to the interception by Tracy Porter
that sealed the game. What a wonderful job. And the two point conversion,
even though controversial, what a gutsy call.
So New Orleans, celebrate like you've never celebrated before. After all
you've been through, you deserve it.
