A lighthearted look at the Saints' magical season... from a lowly fan... high in the rafters of Section 641.Boy, there's nothing like loading up your RV and heading down to Miami, Fla. for a once-in-a-lifetime tailgating bonanza. I can only imagine pulling up to the historic confines of the Dolphin-Landshark-Sun Life Stadium and setting up shop complete with the ol' grill and seafood boiler. We could set up all those cool games that you see at LSU games, like that one where you throw metal washers into a wooden box with a hole in it. Maybe I would even bring the karaoke machine that mom got me for Christmas so the women folk could have something to do too. I would have to have a keg of Abita Beer and an inflatable easy chair. I would bring those
Fathead life-sized Saints players cutouts and set up a mock play on the side of the Winnebago. Boy that would be good times. A life-long memory provided by the NFL and Miami - What's that?
There's no tailgating aloud?!?! Balderdash.
According to the Superbowl XLIV website, there will be no tailgating allowed on stadium property. Something tells me that Saints fans will find a place to party anyway - it's called New Orleans
(but not at the Dome).
Don't look now, but
Drew Brees is on the cover of Sports Illustrated. I know, it's bad luck for an already karma-challenged team. And you're probably thinking that the possibility of a Saints player
on the Madden cover next year is bad enough. Actually, I'm not that worried. I think Buddy D. is battling those demons in that cemetery
the Superdome was built on top of. Plus,
Reggie was on the cover after the Miami game and we (they) smoked the Falcons.
Here's to seeing Drew on the cover after a Super Bowl victory.
