The Saints have made it to the Superbowl!
AIEAIEOUAIIIIEEEE!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!
First off, screw this Katrina crap. I understand it was a horrible storm, but soon every mention of New Orleans will require mentioning Katrina. OH wait, IT'S ALREADY LIKE THAT....SHIT! It's like every time someone in the media mentions Islam, they're required to say "a religion of peace." yet never bother to say that about Christianity, Buddhism, etc. I'm a Christian, but I'd hang around with a Buddhist or Wiccan any day over an Islamist where I'm walking on egg shells to keep them happy.
God I hate the media! "Katrina, Katrina, Katrina!!"
From a lifelong Louisiana resident, this game is historic, and as a lifelong Louisiana resident.....we coon asses will be DAMNED tired of hearing about Katrina the entire fucking game.
The Saints going to the Superbowl was a life long dream of the state...that we had given up on. At most points, we simply called them the Aint's. Fans wore bags over their heads at games. You could stop any argument in Louisiana by saying "what about dem Saints?!" and both parties would come to a mutual agreement that the Saints are their team, but always manage to lose.
This victory at that last game did more to lift the spirits of this state in a unifying way than anything ever could. Even if Jindal became president.....the Democrats would be disappointed. The Saints going to the Superbowl excites everyone, Democrats and Republicans and Independants alike. People who could care less about football know the importance of this victory - and I should know, because I don't like football!
Cajun jokes feature the long running bit about "hell is frozen over - the Saints are going to the Superbowl!"
Many don't even care if they WIN, they just GOT THERE! Almost everyone I've encountered the last two weeks is wearing Saints clothes, Saints hats, .....if they ever invented Saints pantyhose, women would have been wearing them!
When that kick made it, all you heard was the standard crowd reaction. The announcers spent the entire game talking about Brett Favre. After he lost, they were STILL talking about Brett Favre. Barley any mention was made about the absolutely historic moment that had happaned to the people of Louisiana.
To give you an idea of how important this victory was for the state, this was the crowd reaction when that kick was good.
Men went ape-shit ballistic, old people had heart attacks, women cried, adults shit on themselves, and in general, people lost their fucking minds!:
