So…you hear about the Saints? Who Dat you say?

If you have not heard about the Saints and their struggles you certainly will over the next two weeks. Myself I’m fine with it as I’m a Saints fan, bring it on.

I say bring on the stories of how they have risen since Hurricane Katrina and brought the city of New Orleans with them.

Tell me about the history of one of the worst football teams of all time and how they are now heading to the Super Bowl.

Let’s hear about how Drew Brees injured his shoulder right before his chance at a payday while still in San Diego…and how they drafted that Rivers kid and would eventually send him out of town.

Bring on the stories about how Reggie Bush is finally realizing his potential (based on the Cardinals game…not the so-so showing in the Vikings game).

Let’s hear about Greg Williams and his aggressive Defense…will he still be coaching in New Orleans next season or is Al Davis lurking?

Tell me again about how the connection between this team and city is unrivaled in the NFL.

There is one thing that I believe I will tire of a bit. After hearing about how Archie Manning must be torn between the Saints and his son Peyton a few times I will have had enough. Archie will not be torn, as he hasn’t been in the past. He will get in front of the camera and say he loves the Saints but loves his son more. An interviewer will say “But it’s the Saints…” and Archie will explain even further.

I see that interview happening a lot of the next couple weeks. I’ll get sick of it but I’ll take it.  You should too, along with the rest of it. We Saints fans have had to do it for 43 Super Bowls, right?
