Now I think I may be back at denial. Hah!

I now know what my Dad meant back when I was young and my Dad said, "I don't know who I'm going to hang my hat on now." When Dale Earnhardt died.

My father is from Michigan. Moved here to the south when he was a kid. So he has stayed a Lions fan. That's his roots. We had a ton of fun watching Barry Sanders together.

Anyway, through the years he has been pulling for the Saints because he says, Drew is a great player and an even better person.

So now, I don't know who to hang my hat on. It has been that man for the last 15 years.

You'll know it when you see it. Mine was Hank Aaron and then Pete Rose. Then Greg Maddux and Chipper Jones. The came Drew who made me forget baseball. I was always a Saints fan because of my move to Louisiana back in the Spring of 1967, but Drew took it over the top.
