No Worries Part Deux

So, my Saints looked a heck'uv a lot better against the Bills last Friday, but then who wouldn't look good compared to a team that has been circling the wagons since "Laces out" Scott Norwood push one right in the SuperBowl.

Brees spread it around, the defense looked like they were playing cohesively. All in all a performance that gave many distraught Saints fans something to look forward too.

Now, as we start to inch closer to the beginning of the season, I become more frustrated that a New Olreans City Council Member at an ethics seminar. Everyone and there mother is picking our boys to win the South, and right they should. Still, there's no need to shout it from the rooftops like some mayor screaming about a city that has returned to normalcy (it must be the humidity getting to him). From ESPN to Fox Sports, so called "experts" are proclaiming their allegiance to my hometown heroes. Just a year ago, no one wanted to touch them if they were David Vitter's (you know what)... Let's give the Saints respect they proclaim. Where was that respect last year until we beat Philly in the playoffs. The Saints have been for real, and I wish this pundits would just let us remain who we remain to be until we win a Super Bowl. An underdog!!!!

I was encouraged to see that Fujita has taken up the resident dare-devil status that Steve Gleason vacated when he got hurt this season, by torpedoing down a waterslide just to say the defense slide further than the offense. Great stuff. Now all we need is our pro bowl left tackle doing belly flops of a high dive to rival the defense's accomplishments.

Once again, I failed to mention the black sheep of the defense and move towards thinking positive thoughts for our upcoming season. And I was just thinking what if the Saints had invested in the Road Home Program to help them rebuild the dome, where would we be watching our beloved team play??? Tad Gormely? An empty Tiger Stadium? A parking lot on Poydras? Anywhere would be great to see the Saints because like I said they're my team through and through.
