New Orleans Saints turn New Orleans into America's City

03-03-2010, 07:36 AM

It was one of those moments that will remain forever frozen in time.

Where were you when New Orleans Saints cornerback Tracy Porter became the most famous athlete in the history of Port Allen?

Ask Stephen Perry, and he'll tell you he was sitting on the 43-yard line at Sun Life Stadium in Miami that night.

He remembers the feeling as "the closest to heaven I ever had, " watching a 74-yard interception return of a Peyton Manning pass become the defining play of the Saints' 31-17 Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

"My wife buried her head in my chest and began sobbing, " Perry said. "I was sobbing right along. Tracy jumps the route. He leaves Reggie Wayne empty-handed. Looking back, it's like everything unfolded in slow motion. The playoff run. The T-shirt craze. The resurrection of a city."

The Saints had become America's Team.

I don't like the idea of being associated with the Cowgirls. I think we can come up with our own clever name that's better than some bs "America's Team" title.

Yeah, I gotta say that this is something I don't really care about. As long as they always remain in New Orleans, then I am perfectly content.

The fact remains that New Orleans has unseated Dallas as America's team.

You'll have to get over it, get used to it, or just keep whining about it,
but it is a done deal.
