Who Dat?!

Who Dat?

Current mood: inspired

New Orleans Saints are Super Bowl Champs! Can you believe it?!!

Talk about Suck it up, Buttercup! Talk about pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and getting your ducks in a row...Here is a team that hasn't ever been to the Super Bowl...Here is a team that has only won two playoff games in the last 43 years...and they have won 3 in this post season including the most elusive win of them all.

Everybody had the same sentiment when asked who was going to win the Super Bowl. Everyone had the same answer..."We want the Saints to win, but we know the Colts will win!" How wrong were all of us! This is as good as it gets without your own team winning.

Never mind the fact that the city was devastated in 1995...Drew Brees was cut from San Diego and nobody was giving him a real shot at success. Nobody, that is, except the New Orleans Saints! He overcame serious, potentially career ending injuries...and stayed in the game, mentally not just physically..That's what suck it up buttercup is all about...Perseverance baby, perseverance!

I mean really, they were playing the mighty, mighty Colts with the UNSTOPPABLE Manning! Did they really think that they could win? Apparently so! Apparently so, INDEED! This team had something special at the beginning of the season, you could see their momentum building week after week. They played with passion, they played with power and they were having fun. They played with conviction and they believed in themselves when very few people outside of New Orleans did. But it was something special to witness. They have been building momentum over the past few years, but nobody was really paying attention. And that is how it happens, when you finally realize that they have been building a head of steam for the past 48 months, it is woefully too late and if you are the Colts, you find yourself on the losing side of the Super Bowl score!


Congratulations Drew Brees and the Saints!!! You deserve it and are an inspiration to a Nation! ROCK ON!
