Saints Hatred?

God Bless you, Mississippi brothers and sisters. You have a lot to do with the Saints staying in New Orleans. Your training camp was off the charts. If I owned the Saints, there would be a Mississippi Appreciation day, complete with parade, meet & greet with players, and your own preseason game.

That is actually a great idea.

Go a step further.

Gulf Coast Appreciation Week!

I appreciate that Mike, I really do. I know this much, when it comes to Southern people in general, say what you want, but when the chips are down, no matter how we feel about each other, we will fight against any and all comers, that wanna try. I guess it's a matter of pride in alot of ways, but also a matter of family, and the values we grew up with.

My Saints family is here, and I know who they are. We got each others backs, and that's what matters most on this. So, to the Saints first superbowl, I salute you all. Let's bring this home now.

We will pull together, sometimes it takes a little time and coaxing.

On that note, I will pass along this little tidbit of info that some of you younger guys may not have known.

Archie Manning, when he was between the ages of around 18 and 22, was public enemy numero uno in Louisiana. He and his Rebels put blemishes on a couple of LSU promising seasons, if I'm remembering this right...and was not so welcome by all Saint fans in those first few years. I think there are some who still haven't totally forgotten.

I will never forget the headline of the TP Sunday morning after Ole Miss burned the Tigers his Jr. year. It read,

"Yes, Virginia, there is a Superman...and he wears #18 for the Ole Miss Rebels".

Suffice it to say that the Tigers did get their revenge on Archie his Sr. year when they beat Archie and the Rebs soundly, somewhere around fitty. Archie had a cast on his whole left arm, but not making excuses.

I also like that idea. I'm going to go one step further. An appreciation tour through the whole state...New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Alexandria, Shreveport and Monroe. It would reward the whole state for 43 years of patience and loyalty. What a great day it would be to see the Superbowl 44 champion New Orleans Saints parading through downtown Shreveport. It would surely pi** off a bunch of Cowboy fans up here! LOL
