Dam I wished I live in New Orleans !!!!

Sounds like a nice thing for adults and kids alike.

In a single word...no.

In a bunch of words...

I don't like it because it appears "bush league" to me and I feel embarrassed for Drew (and myself, for some reason), and I prefer that he leads by example, which he already does...and leave the cheering to the Saintsations. It's just one guys opinion, though, and if you are one of the many who enjoys it, then you probably have a lot of entertainment in your future, because I'm sure that he will keep being the "head cheerleader". I think this year he's gonna switch to a new cheer. Inside info has it that this year he's gonna be chanting...'

Drew: Big banny rooster said to little banny hen...(rest of team says "what?")

Drew: We ain't been beat since 1910...(rest of team says "when?")

Drew: So ruffle up your feathers...(rest of team says "where?)

Drew: And stick out your tail...(rest of team sticks out their tail...and says "how?")

Drew: Come on Saints, give 'em hell (rest of team hollers and rallies around Drew)

Side note: It was funny when my daughter did this cheer when she was about 5, and said, "we ain't been beat since nineteen-sixty-ten."

wow

ok

Any idea what the schedule is for the day? I know it runs from Noon-10. Specifically:

When does Payton go on?
When does Rebirth start?
