SUPERBOWL YEAR 2010

Sean Payton signed and then threw in to the crowd of hundreds of people a VERY RARE LIT UP MULTI COLOR LED POWERED FULL SIZE FREEBEE during the 2010 Orpheus Parade. (The night before Mardi Gras.)

It shined and incredibly lit up the sky as it flew across everyone's head for a few seconds in the crowd that night. Everybody no doubt noticed and wanted it.

How I caught the thing in that huge crowd was a blessing from GOD. I estimate that the chances of me catching it was about 1 in 200+ because Payton could have thrown it to ether side of the float (left or right) and in any direction (front, middle, back).

I remember as it floated right across and lighting up the beautiful sky and then right into my hands as I beat the crap out of all the other people fighting me to catch it.

After I completely gloated and laughed at everybody who had just suffered such a great loss, I looked at the signature. Everyone wanted to see the signature but oddly... no one couldn't read it. It looked just like scribble scratch because... it was scribble scratch. SOB... He must have signed and thrown hundreds and we were at the end of the parade around Canal St and Magazine St. He had do doubt been drinking and he didn't care what it looked like.

I will always have both... the Memories and the Freebee. It still works, but the signature didn't get any better. I doubt it is worth anything since you cannot tell who signed it.

No doubt a family heirloom.

That's a great story - I love great stories like that, especially the way you recaptured the moment of flight!

THANK YOU.

It was an incredible experience but my wife said I embellished the story some.

But that's the way I remember it and the OFFICIAL STORY.

Never mind that I had 10 shots of Jagermeister and consider... my wife doesn't even like football. She barely watched the Saints in the Superbowl.

She didn't even care that I had experienced one of the greatest moments of my life. You can't believe anything she says about this subject.

Because there Ain't No Place To Pee On Mardi Gras Day.

2017 Mardi Gras

You might ask... If she doesn't like the Saints and didn't watch the Superbowl, then why did I marry her?
Her cooking skills aren't that great either.

Love you Honey... I'm going to the guys house for the game... see you later.
We have been together for over 30 years. She used to look a lot better.
