A light-hearted look at the Saints' magical season... from a lowly Saints fan... high in the rafters of section 641...

You know what I don't like?  Working during the Super Bowl.  It's kind of a bummer.  But at least I know there won't be any crazy party pictures of me after a wild party circulating on the internet.  Lord knows we don't need another media-type caught doing the stanky leg in a dress.  Bobby sure can cut a rug, however, that dress is hideous.  Do these people know about YouTube?  It ain't 1987 anymore. 

You know what I like? Saints team pictures from the Super Bowl. You know what else would be pretty cool? If someone sent me one of those pics in this envelope. The U.S. Postal Service is offering the souvenir envelopes for $10 a piece.  They go on sale Monday morning at the post office at 701 Loyola Ave.  I can't, however, speak to how you can get your hands on the team picture.

You know what else I like? John Madden. Not only is he a Hall of Fame football coach, but he also lends his image to the king of all football games, Madden 10. For those of you who pretend not to play video games or know anything about them, Madden has sucked up millions of guys' exercise, homework, family and otherwise good use of time for the last 20 years.  The series of games, usually called Madden (year), is a football "simulation" that lets you live vicariously through your gridiron heroes. To use a gamer term, it's "awesome."  Boom.

Anyway, it's awesomeness is getting even more awesome...er. Electronic Arts (EA) simulated Super Bowl XLIV, and guess who came out on top? The Saints, 35-31. Yeah, I know mom and dad, it's just a video game. But the EA Madden simulation has been right five out of the last six years. Prepare to get pwned Colts.

Bonus: Guess who wins the Tecmo Bowl matchup?
