1. We're in the midst of Mardi Gras also. That being said, the crowd you saw on Bourbon Street last night looked heavier than what we normally see during the weekend before the big party on Mardi Gras day.

2. A new holiday has been declared in the New Orleans area. The people who do show up for work today are not obligated to actually do any work.

In response to some other posts:

1. Freeny only had 1 sack. That's not a "dominating" performance.

2. "Bad" officiating? I was pleased that they let the teams play without a lot of yellow flags. But since it was brought up, there were some Colt players who should have been flagged for unnecessary roughness for kicking and taking swings at Saint's players, too.

3. The refs didn't give the Saints the game. If the two point conversion call had been held up, the Saints would have still won by 12 points. The game was won when Porter intercepted Manning and ran it back for the touchdown.

4. Conspiracy theories are for losers, to make them feel better for losing. How about all those stories over the past two week saying the Colts were head and shoulders better than the Saints and that basically all the Colts had to do was walk on the field and the Saints would curl up on the sidelines.

5. This was a good game. Manning will be a first ballot Hall of Fame QB. The game came down to two plays by the Saints - the onside kick to open the 2nd half and the interception return by Porter.

I don't believe anyone called it a dominating performance (straw man). But, he looked pretty good for having a torn ligament in his ankle and being doubled on every play.

Actually, if that call was upheld, it's a completely different game. The Colts would have been looking to run the clock rather than needing a score. But, I didn't have a problem with that call, it was a good challenge. At least the plane was actually broken, unlike the Minnesota game.

No doubt the two key plays in the game.

I can't believe the guts to go for an onside kick, down in the game when pretty much dominated in the first half. Amazing!

But they are pretty creative and entertaining.

Yep, that crowd would be lucky to be like that the weekend BEFORE MG.
Anyway, I'll let you know, cause it is the week of my annual pilgramage back home for the Luling Parade.
I never end up taking Mon and Tue off, but returning home for the MG weekend really helps me
take the edge off the rest of the year and tolerate being an expatriate in a town fool of hoodlums.
And I learned decades ago, Bourbon St. is fine 350 days a year, but it's an idiot that ventures down
in the weeks before Mardi Gras. I had a girlfriend from Denton TX in town with me on the weekend before MG
and she said she wanted to go to the FQ. I begged her not to make me do it, and standing in line for PatO's
she was lifted off her feet by the crush. She panicked and wanted to go. In te next second a guy tried to
cut in line ahead of us and a guy hit him so hard across the back of the head, he fell face first and hit the
pavement, splitting his skull wide open. Never again.

Seems like I got my own page here... SORRY.

A guy just came in and said, I KNEW the Saints were going to win, and I said, "No, now hold on here...you
told me that you were PULLING for the Saints, but that you thought the Colts would win. That makes you
a person who thought the COLTS were going to win. It's like Woodstock, 5 million people said they were there
but the attendance was more like 5-800,000. Thank goodness VEGAS keeps em honest. If you were "pulling"
for the Saints, but put MONEY on the Colts, you LOST. Haha.
That's for all you who didn't look at it intellectually and sentimentally.
The Saints have a ton of really good players, the Colts have one GREAT player and one Great player on a gimpy leg.
Much as I love my LA homeboys, Reggie Wayne ain't Reggie Wayne no more.
After Dallas Clark caught about 5 balls in a row, I knew we had it in the bag. But to tell you the truth, I never
doubted for a second after the Cardinals win. Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Pierre Thomas, Jeremy Shockey,
Marcus Colston, Lance Moore, an awakened Robert Meachem, Devery Freaking Henderson's speedy-a$$.
And that's just the offense. Our D was banged up the final third of the season. They were ALL back in shape
for the SBowl. How you gonna bet AGAINST THAT?

From a Giants fan, man I could not be happier. Congrats to the Saints. Only a few of us believed in you. Only a few of us knew the second half was yours.

believe dat!
