At least we made the playoffs again. No Superbowl hangover here and if we would've beatin the Seahags The Packers would be playing the NFC Championship in New Orleans again so I don't feel bad about this season at all and winning one Superbowl in my lifetime was all I asked for but I really don't believe it's all I'm gonna get. GEAUX SAINTS

dam, some of u made me cry all over again.lol it will be with me to the grave, and a great season to back up a superbowl ain't all bad either.

Every day was like I had stepped off into another dimension of time and space.

I kept thinking something was gonna fall over on my head and kill me at any moment, or that I'd just wake up on the ride home, and realize that really we had lost, and I was just dreaming.

I couldnt hug enough people. I couldnt tell enough people. It just didnt seem real.

From the moment Hartley hit the FG, it was just surreal. You know, I didnt cheer when the ball went through. I looked around for penalty flags, or somebody to run out on the field and say, "Wait a minute, wait a minute." When Sharper was doing "snow angels" in the confetti, " I let loose.

Im glad you mentioned this Tom. You picked a good time to do it. Everybody who knows me was calling me and congratulating me, or ribbing me, or slapping my back.

But you know what really makes me happy? It makes me happy to see everyone in New Orleans happy and hugging each other. I've never seen so many white people and black people dancing and hugging each other, as I've seen at Saints games. I could have stayed up all night watching the celebration, but you know the drive from Houston takes its toll, so I have to sleep sometime.

And you know what? Im happy to see people in smaller towns like Lafayette and Henderson and Vacherie wearing their Saints gear and waving their flags around proudly. I look forward to going to Natchitoches and Many soon, and seeing Saints stuff, and getting "WhoDat'ed when I walk around in mine.

quick note: I was in the Galleria in Houston last weekend, and a store had Saints stuff-- lots of it -- and no Texans and no Cowboys. Can you believe that???

I'm very happy to see my Lousiana friends happy. You know how much I love your state. I wish I could meet you all. Remember, its almost crawfish time. Everybody smile and think about something good.

Here's a thread I did last year I'd like you to visit. Its from last year after we won it all. It's about YOU. :

skymike your as black and gold as they come bro. and i remember the your saints too write up. so solid dude.

after each playoff game and the superbowl, I remember crying...and saying how i couldnt believe that finally happened...I never thought it would in my life time honestly..thats why this year hasnt bummed me out so much. I feel like my life is complete in a way...LOL

Damn I still get emotional watching the SB video. That INT by Tracy Porter
and Will Smith blocking Manning plays in my head when I need a Who Dat fix.
Here try it: Peyton Manning Throws Interception in Superbowl 44

Love watching those commercials showing that moment from different places of that pic-6, memory will never be forgotten.

As soon as Hartley kicked the field goal, all our friends and family were calling and we were booking our stay in NOLA for the big game! Didn't want to be in Miami cause I knew the only place to be when we won was with my friends in NOLA who love the Saints as much as me! Bourbon St was just plain madness after the game! Nothing but love on those streets that night! It was the happiest moment of my life. So glad I got to be a part of it:)

We were just one average defensive effort away in the wildcard round from moving on in the playoffs causing 3-4 more Cowboy fan suicides with the thought of us squating in Dallas. Good job this year boys. With all the injuries we had, 11-5 was fantastic and three of the losses were just give aways to sub-par teams. Last year was a beautiful thing and we'll be doing it again next year. Haters beware - we'll be back.
