President Obama in Saints' corner

Rickh · 01-26-2010, 12:14 PM

Hey, all kinds of fans are taking side right now and there are only two teams left to choose from.

C'mon the past 43 Super Bowls I've picked a team I wanted to win.

So what the heck is this with the "No don't cheer for us Obama!!" talk. I think it's awesome, and you can expect a lot more now that we're here.

It beats the heck out of being the punchline on the Tonight Show monologue. Believe me, that used to happen a lot. Many of you would have hated Johnny Carson...

ENJOY THIS!

Well, you know, our Jonathan Vilma has that Haiti connection, too!

Didn't know that, but I will probably hear it 20x over the two weeks. I don't mind an interview or two from Vilma or Garcon or from any of the Saints about their role in helping bring back NOLA, but I just have the feeling it will be more about that than discussing the actual game.

I honestly believe that you guys deserve so much more credit than what will be reported for the football you guys are playing now. But, hey, that's just the Mainstream media.

JoanieNTX · 01-26-2010, 01:32 PM

Yeah, well the Saints and the Mainstream media don't mix well....ugh. They have never been too kind to us, and I'm sure we don't expect them to start now. They will go on with their predictions, giving the Colts the edge....throw us a bone every so often, but we don't care. It will be business as usual for the Saints. We've done it without their blessings so far!

YES WE CAN

JoanieNTX · 01-26-2010, 01:58 PM

Amen, Neugey! That has been MY slogan all year. YES, YOU CAN! I say that to Drew all the time...he just doesn't hear me! And PT, and Reggie, and the defense, and the O-line, and Hartley....etc., etc., etc.! When I'm repeating "YES, YOU CAN" to them over and over, there's no place for the negative to come in. Try it! After all.....the only vibes I want them to get are positive ones!

Thanks Barry, but no thanks. Your last favored pick (Coakley) didnt work out so good. All we need from you is that phone call after the game congratulating Brees on the win. Other than that, try acting like a President and support both teams like any president with class would do.

On ESPN's Around the Horn Dianne Sawyer interviewed the president and he said he will be pulling for the Saints to win.

Then Bill Plaschie, or how ever you spell it, started hating on us and Jay Mariotti tore into his ass.

Thats bad ass our president is pulling for us.

WHO DAT!!!!!

breesfan27 · 01-26-2010, 04:17 PM

Yeah, and if we win, he'll announce that he's a Saints fan after being a Bears fan. Just like he did last year with the Steelers.

Loser.
